Efficient. Heavy-Duty. Done Right.
When it comes to moving loaded or empty shipping containers, you need more than just a standard moving crew — you need expertise, equipment, and experience. At Centerville Movers, we specialize in shipping container relocation for residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
Whether you’re relocating a loaded 20-foot container across town or need an empty 40-foot unit hauled to a job site, our team is trained to move containers safely, legally, and efficiently.
Shipping containers are rugged and built for transport, but that doesn’t make them easy to move. Their size and weight require special handling, planning, and secure transport. Our team is equipped with the right tools and trucks to load, haul, and deliver containers wherever they’re needed—residential areas, farms, warehouses, construction zones, or business locations.
We provide a full range of container moving services for:
✅ 20-foot and 40-foot containers
✅ Loaded or empty containers
✅ On-site container relocation
✅ Cross-property container moves
✅ Delivery from ports or yards
✅ Scheduled and last-minute bookings
Whether your container holds furniture, equipment, supplies, or personal belongings, we handle every job with care, safety, and precision.
Moving containers isn’t a job for just any truck. We use heavy-duty flatbed trucks, tilt-bed trailers, and other specialized equipment to load and move containers securely. Our team understands how to:
📏 Position containers precisely, even in tight spaces
🧰 Use proper anchoring techniques during transport
🛻 Manage container weight limits and shifting loads
🚨 Comply with transportation regulations for safe delivery
From the moment we arrive to the moment your container is in place, we follow a system designed for safety and accuracy.
Our container moving service is popular for a variety of needs:
Many homeowners use shipping containers as portable storage or to hold furniture during renovations. We move containers between properties or on-site with ease.
Need a secure way to transport office files, equipment, or inventory? Containers offer flexibility and security. We’ll move them from location to location, on time and intact.
Shipping containers are frequently used as mobile workstations or tool storage on job sites. We can position and reposition these containers where and when you need them.
