Moving a 20ft or 40ft shipping container needs more than a flatbed. Unless the site has its own forklift or crane, you need a vehicle that can lift the container on and off itself.
A sidelifter lifts a container off its own chassis with hydraulic cranes and can place it precisely — ideal for gardens, yards and tight access. For shorter moves or lighter containers, a hiab crane lorry does the same job. Low-loaders and flatbeds work when there's lifting equipment at both ends.
Check ground access, overhead cables and the final resting position before booking. A good operator will ask about all three.
