Got Questions?
Container Transport FAQs
Do you offer tilt tray transport for 20ft containers in Adelaide?
Yes — our tilt tray service is ideal for single 20ft container moves, depot pickups, and tighter-access sites across Adelaide.
Can your side loader handle a 48ft container?
Yes — our extendable side loader trailer handles 20ft through to 48ft containers, with no equipment changes needed.
What's the difference between tilt tray and side loader container transport?
Tilt tray transport suits single 20ft container moves and tighter-access sites, with the tray tilting to ground level for loading. Side loader transport uses hydraulic arms to lift and place containers from 20ft through to 48ft, ideal for larger or heavier loads. We run both, so we can match the right truck to your job.
Do you transport containers to and from Port Adelaide?
Yes — we deliver and collect containers from Port Adelaide, depots, and sites across metro and regional South Australia.
Can you move a container on a tight or restricted-access site?
Yes — our operators are experienced with restricted-access sites, and our tilt tray and extendable side loader give us flexibility to handle most metro and regional Adelaide locations.
Can your side loader handle a 40ft container as well as 20ft and 48ft?
Yes — our extendable side loader trailer handles 20ft, 40ft, and 48ft containers without needing to change equipment.
Do you offer container transport across regional South Australia, not just metro Adelaide?
Yes — alongside metro Adelaide, we deliver containers across regional South Australia, with weekly interstate runs as well.
How much notice do you need to book a container transport job?
We recommend booking as early as possible, but we can often accommodate short-notice tilt tray and side loader jobs across Adelaide. Contact us to check current availability.
Can you handle oversize or special container loads that need permits and escorts?
Yes — we manage the full compliance process for oversize and special container loads, including permits, route checks, and escort vehicles where required.
Does it cost more to transport a loaded container than an empty one?
Pricing depends on container weight, distance, and site access — loaded containers can affect cost depending on these factors. Contact us for a tailored quote.
