Shipping Container Movers

Shipping Container Movers

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.

🏗️ What Is a Shipping Container Move?

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.

⚙️ Specialized Equipment, Skilled Professionals

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:
