Moving a 20ft Shipping container without a crane. It was a challenge!

- I bought a 20ft shipping container so we could move house. But the delivery driver couldn't put it where I needed it so I got creative with my 105 Land Cruiser, my 4x4 80 series race car and a winch!

That is the most entertaining video about winching I have seen in a long long while. If in doubt Power Out 👍😀🇬🇧🇦🇺
LOL not my normal fair.
Well done Matt!
Thanks mate.
I found this video extremely entertaining, thanks Matt
Glad you enjoyed it!
as my father used to say: Nothing is greater than an idea that's time has come; or in this case a series of ideas of times that have come.
That’s a cool quote.
@@MadMatt4WD after all the comments I made in a couple of years since you visited here in the United States with Matt and Casey would you expect anything less from me? 🙄🙄😁🤣
Keep up the standard ay. :)
Watching this is like watching my father in-law, using whatever tools at his disposal and whatever means necessary to get the job done 😂😂😂 In all seriousness, great job moving that container I didn't even think it was possible in the first place lol.
Thanks. Yeah I wasn’t convinced I’d do it either.
Matt, over here you can rent "storage pods" that are basically 20 ft. containers. The retrieval truck has a 4 post jacking system for the container and the chassis backs in. Downside are neighbours with containers on their drives, some for many years ;) I try to follow the "I haven't touched it for a year so in the bin" methodology... Limited success ;)
Oh I’m chucking out heaps. Most of the container will be my workshop gear.
There were a couple moments I was on the edge of my seat. The important thing is that we learn as we go. Success ! Great rigging. Sometimes it's hard to say what is best until you see it moving. Loved the video, give us more.
Thanks I will.
Amazing! Men are really created by the creator to solve the most difficult challenges! I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Something my brothers do and dad would have done! I love the chuckle of this brother.
Thanks mate. It certainly was a fun challenge
The mans a genius 👏👏👏
Just another day in the Mad Matt house.
Love the passion.
Keep up the great work Matt. 👍
Thank you jack.
A man after my own heart, you gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done.
hahaha you must be bored, it was very entertaining, well done
Lol. Lockdown does strange things to us. 😁
@@MadMatt4WD oh yeah, it does 😆
I used to run a which truck in the oil field. (Texas heavyhauler) 2" cables, monster winch. Single line or 2 line depending on weight. A center pull makes life much easier. Where there is a will there is a way!! Mission complete!! Nice!!
At the end I worked out I could have rigged it so I pulled both sides together. Was a fun exercise.
It’s all about using what you have, whether that’s equipment, knowledgeable or tools. Growing up on a farm we’ve had a lot of these types of problems 😂
Nice. Yes I grew up on a remote farm and dad used to do lots of things like this.
Little moves, dead reckoning, small truck, barely enough trailer! Where there is a will there is a way! 😊
Ba ha! This is the kind of stuff I do. I can honestly say of all the years I've had a 4wd & winch (actually the same winch on a few 4wd's now) I have used my winch to do more things like this, shift huge rocks etc etc than I have to recover my 4wd. The winch on my trailer is rated much more than my 4wd one because I snig all sorts onto the trailer, more than just cars 🤣I'm so glad I'm not the only one who uses his winches, blocks of wood, logs, a ton of snatch blocks or whatever to shift things. Great Stuff!!👍👍
lol
I thought your undoing might have been the sideways winch off the small tree but it worked a treat. Well done.
I was getting desperate by that point. :)
Brilliant job sir, that winch is a great thing. So many people would have given up too soon and ended up breaking something.
That was truly amazing. Helpfully. I have a 20 ft container. So this definitely gave me some inspiration that I can find a diy method. thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
This was realllll good
This was the most interesting and entertaining video of you being you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I would have loved to join you in doing this task. Lots of fun figuring out angles and pull directions. Job well done.
You could have done it while I watched. 🤓🤓🤓
That was bloody epic!!🤣🤣
Lol.
Great video. I have done similar things in my lifetime, so I didn't have a single doubt that you could do it. You didnt have the trailer quite square with the container, at first, so, I think, that caused you a little extra work. Overall, a really great job.🤗🤗🤗
Thanks. It Was a fun process.
Well done proper bloke stuff
Yeah
Just in the process of buying a piece of land intend to build a shipping container workshop that's what lead me to your channel great content by the way
@@oldjcb thanks mate
This was absolutely great.
Love it
Cheers mate. Was a bit of fun doing it
Just a thought, sometimes letting the trailer pulling under the box, steering it with truck. If you get time watch a roll off truck pick up a full box. Dragging the box wears the bottoms of the box.
That’s a good idea
Examine how quick-attach commercial container mobility wheel kits lock into the corner fittings next time you move one. Then check out quick-attach jack point fittings too as either can be torch cut and welded in proper 4x4 gearhead fashion. I use a self-built big truck suspension air bag jack which easily raises one end of a forty-footer then toss scrap rims beneath (my favorite cribbing) and or log sections or 6x6 wooden chocks (drilled for rope pulls aircraft style and soaked in waste oil for preservation. I jacked and rolled (using horizontal pipe sections rolling on railroad ties I bought to support the ends of the placed container) to hand winch all my containers to final position while working solo. I'm an old cripple so anyone who isn't should have it easy. There are all sorts of container tricks.
I did look at the wheels but because I was only doing this once I didn’t see the sense in spending that money.
thank you for the great deal video on how moving sea contain to another spot
have good weekend
from friend
My Pleasure mate.
i would have just chained it to the back of the 80 and floored it
I did think about that but figured it would rip up the road.
@@MadMatt4WD or go full roman and roll it around on the spars
Lets see, car trailer...20' shipping container, hmmm, off road slide-on caravan!
Very entertaining and strangely satisfying.
Yes it was strangely satisfying.
@@MadMatt4WD I'm sure for you as the "doer", but I just watched...:)
Nice job on that last rigging set up for getting on the trailer will keep that one saved lol
I wish I thought of it earlier.
Awesome, big thumbs up 👍👍👍, hahaha, if in doubt power it out
I like your winching techniques.. but where's your hi lift jack ?? woulda made clearing the front lips easy
Never even thought about grabbing it.
At some points the trailer was twisting so much I didn't believe it will be straight after this exercise anymore. :-D Pulling sideways with this amount of force would kill 95% of trailers! Good job and a great trailer!
Yes i saw that and thought better stop pulling. It did slide the 105 sideways. The trailer is fine though.
I would have set up the winching vehicle beside the container so it would pull pretty much straight back.
What do you see as being the advantage over my positioning?
@@MadMatt4WD well, I believe it would avoid pulling the trailer sideways, but even more, it would pull the trailer back against the box while pulling the box forward towards the trailer
Wouldn’t that put the winching vehicle in harms way. Definitely better the way Matt did it.
@@47Rolling harm's way of what? The container wasn't in any danger of rolling. I don't know that it would be better, but it is how I have always done stuff like this. Well, actually I probably would have went and got a winch mounted on the trailer because I am weird, but...
@@trd4d putting a winch on the trailer! I mean seriously the whole thing was about doing the job the best you can with what you have. If you are going to go to the trouble of getting that done you may as well get a Franna out. Can we just keep it real for once. Even the fact Matt was wearing hi vis is a bit of a stretch from real life of doing stuff around the house in thongs and boardies
Mad Matt (unstoppable ). That was awesome and did anyone die,stuff the stingrays that say oh that was dangerous bla bla bla. The towie should of done his job in the first place.👍🇦🇺
LOL Just getting the job done. I was seriously pissed he couldn't get it done. I even cleared some trees and stuff while he was there to make even more room for him. Then i sulked for a few days till i came up with this plan.
No damage or injuries , successful job I reckon Matt 😎👍🍻 lol 😂, mission accomplished !
Yeah man :)
Ingenious and hilarious😂😂
Lol thanks mate
Nicely done.
Thanks
So what I have done over here in the states is attached a hitch reciever to the front of my truck. This allows you to hook the truck up to the trailer from the front and do a straight line or double line straight pull. Safer, faster, easier. In this case you could use the trailer jack or some blocks so the trucks front suspension wouldn't have to take the weight of the container. Once loaded chock the trailer tires so it doesn't move, turn the truck around and reattach then go where ever you heart desires. I got put into a position like this once and never wanted to be put there again.
Yes I’ve seen the front hitch before.
Never never tell a good ole boy that it can’t be done 👍🏼
Lol. Red flag to a bull
Your little trailer needs s pull point in the middle front!
I would have put some concrete blocks or cribbing down before pulling it off the trailer so that it was not on the ground. I prefer to have them off the ground far enough that I can easily get underneath them if I ever have to do any work on them or modifications. It also makes it easier to remove any pest that I might have shot or poisoned that managed to get under the container.
This was only in place for a month till we had it loaded out.
@@MadMatt4WD -- Yeah, that's different... I'm talking about ones that get put on farms or ranches that end up being there for *years* -- basically until they rust away...
Yeah, the single middle point and lots more horizontal 8 foot rollers!
Yeah I should have made a middle hook point.
Move a container... Successful...
No one died... It's a win...
Smart
Thats how I see it but what's more the risks we're managed.
This is a great vid ! True thinking outside the box! (Pun intended)
Ha Ha Ha
Nice one :)
Incredible
I've gotta do something like this with my 3x6 cabin. I've got logs, chains and a Vitara. There's so much mud at my block I'm guessing I'll need some hardwood planks so the posts don't disappear.
Have fun. 😁
@@MadMatt4WD
It's a little bit daunting. If you have any advice, feel free to share it. I have to swing it 180° and move it 20 metres.
Great job mate......next one will have to be a 40 footer!!!! hahaha
You are kidding lol. Imagine the overhang of that. 🤪
@@MadMatt4WD after seeing just how ingenious you are mate, I'd say you'd have no dramas at all.....just need to cobble-up a dolly to put under the other end...hahaha
Send it :)
Outstanding ingenuity... you started out using thecegyptian log roll, why didn't you st with that?
Also, why didn't you turn it around to pull it in forward, and not put timbers under it vs right on the ground?
Perpendicular, horizontal, lateral and gravitational forces were working against you which may have been significantly mitigated by the ancirnt log roll vs slide method.
At the end of the day you accomplished what you set out to do... good on you man.. good on you.
The logs split in the end and also couldn’t deal with the angle coming up to the trailer. It’s a very tight spot with a gate at the front of the car. This was the only way I could come at the container.
@@MadMatt4WD Thank you for the reply and you did an awesome job, inspiring "get it done" approach.
Nice work mate that’s a McGiver effort there 😂
Oh yeah. I mcgivered something. 🤪
Nice demo matt
Thanks mate.
Loved it haha Mad Mat
Cheers mate :)
matt to the rescue again... and I wasn't even looking for 4x4 stuff
:)
Well done !! .. tilt tray towing wants $150+ bucks to move mine at same distance as yours.. I'm getting some big logs 😁😁
Do it
Nicely done brother
Thank you! Cheers!
good effort!
I try
On my Jeep WJ I have a 12000lb winch in the rear reciever which makes loading things on the trailer a breeze.
That would have been sweet this day.
Cool
love your work mate... cant help but think though that the 'drag it across the wood' might have been the easiest just putting logs infront of it as needed? No trailer at all? you know... like the Egyptians :D
I did try logs but the ones I had didn’t work.
Mad effort 😂
Please check on the trailer frame and hinges.
Lol. I give my trailer regular maintenance as it has to do some fairly hard work.
Matt, is this to pack up for the big move? I used to route containers on the east coast of the US to and from Europe... I guess you don't have a mate with forklift blades for his front end loader ;)
Yes moving north. We’re in lockdown so my options were very limited. I’ll probably have to get a franna to get it out of there.
@@MadMatt4WD franna?
it's a 18 - 50 tonne generally 25tonne mobile crane terex brand franna
@@brentmcd12 Thanks Brent.
That must be a very small workshop if it's going to fit in there!
LOL I'm chucking a lot of dare I say it "junk"
I didn't think of the right way to rig it, but I did guess everything that would go wrong each time you rerigged.
Well now where were you when I needed you
Absolute mad lad.
Ha Ha
love it
Nice work!!’
Thanks.
Do you want me to drop it off up the back there near the trees, it won’t be a problem?
No mate just leave it here so I can make a vid about winching 😀
Oh lol. No I tried to get him to put it up there and he refused. He said he couldn't get the truck around the corner. He did try but didn't have the skills. I tried to talk him through it.
@@MadMatt4WD ha no worries mate taken in jest thank you 👍 It was an entertaining and informative video, thanks for sharing
Love ya work. :)
When in doubt throttle out!!!!
🤪🤪🤪
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MadMatt4WD a pretty similar challenge is waiting for me -to pull two 20 foot containers across an industrial estate and place them inside a hangar. Sounds like fun, isn't it.
@@h4z4rd42you can buy little wheels that fit into two corners of a container and you can tow it.
@@MadMatt4WD I'll have to place them close to each other as those are double containers making one room along the long sides, so I'll make "swing" arms with wheels attached to the short end of the container. And the forklift will do the heavy lifting... ;)
Well there you go. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Ha ha
Hey man!! Where u been?? No videos I miss u man
Sorry dude. We did a video a while back explaining why. Check it out
Was wondering same..hope all is well
You'd probably could have just dragged it with the 80, and with how hard that ground looks youd probably just need a rake to clean up afterwards.
and take the handbrake off and pull the cruiser under.
No way I could drag it. It would have dug in.
@@MadMatt4WDmaybe, maybe not, the 80 would have towed it easy. Used to pull these onto the back of my 5t canter back in the day before I brought a proper tilt tray used to pick the front wheel up and all before it dropped down on the deck 😂
'Hell of a rigging job.
Yeah it certainly was.
Hope you're doing okay, haven't seen anything new in a while.
Go back a video or two and I explain why. Thanks for checking in.
Matt - Were you looking at the back of the container instead of your trailer wheels when you were backing? It looked like you were trying to back a longer trailer than you have.
No not that I recall. I lost sight of the track because of the trees and turned it too hard.
Perfect :-)
💪😁thanks
should have run the winch under the trailer to the stump then back to the back of the container to straighten it
The stump is quite rotten. Otherwise I agree with you.
yepp
get shipping containers delivered by tow trucks is easy but since you moved it the truck may not pick it up as it is not when it was placed(i know this as i use to deliver 20 footers)
i have put a container in one spot and customer moved it and i could not access it to remove it and they had to pay for a crane to remove it and they were not happy about it as it cost $3k+
Once this is loaded the tiltray won't be able to pick it up and load it onto the semi for the next leg which is 1000Ks. I've always know i'd have to get a franna to move it the next step.
@@MadMatt4WD i have moved loaded containers on a tilt tray that is why i said it
Oh ok. But how do you load a semi
You have a winch for a reason. Pull the container to you or the truck to the container.
@@MadMatt4WD that is the fun bit we have to meet the semi at a container yard to use their container lift or at a trailer loading ramp and slide if off on to the semi.
You best show us what goes inside now
Ha ha. Junk! 🤪🤪🤪
ForkWich would be a easy solution
I don’t know what that is but this was not an easy way to move it
@@MadMatt4WD czcams.com/video/9PN_Vj-erAU/video.html
Esos rollizos de madera no me gustan nada de nada, en su lugar yo pondría en la plataforma unos raíles de acero con un sistema de ruedas metálicas soportando al contenedor y que se deslizaran.
The timber didn’t work at all. It was a cheap solution. I thought about making up steel rollers but steel is expensive even second hand.
you forgot to say hold my beer
Lol
Is “pear shaped “ good or bad?
lol. It’s considered bad in this situation. 😂
Buy yourself a floor jack LOL
I did
No biggie! wheel kits and a tractor.
Yeah didn’t have either. I looked at making a wheel kit though.
Personally, I'd have just welded a single point to the middle of the container.
I did think about that and probably should have
I hope you hired that trailer and didn't borrow it off one of your mates 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s mine.
Well then... In that case, you should have borrowed a mates 😂 "hey Joey, sorry about the trailer, here's a carton of beer" 🍻
Ha ha ha.
I would have just towed it with the cruiser.
I considered that but figured it would dig up my road a bunch.
Why don't people use shipping container modified tanks to store solar energy? For example, automating concentrated solar thermal power to pump water from the low tank to the high tank during sunny day and release water to drive electric generator and back to the low tank during the night.
You can search "Burning Stuff With 2000ºF Solar Power!!" "DIY shipping container pool" "solar power water pump" and GREENPOWERSCIENCE for a lot of examples.
Actually, potential energy of the tank themselves can also be used for generating electricity already. Of course, you need to use a lot pulleys or hydraulic jacks for that.
Because the box style container is not designed as a water vessel which should be obvious. To learn more, study "pumped hydro" for real world successes at scale. Containers are great for getting views from people who don't know anything about containers but also don't bother looking seriously or they'd have no questions to ask.
Plus sides.....heaps less dodgy then any tilt tray driver would have done, you still have all your fences and plants and whatever else is in your yard...... plus you haven't lost any brain cells by talking to one of them😂😂...........
Ha Ha Ha :)
Why didn’t you just skull drag it
I didn’t want to dig up the road
