HOW TO move a shipping CONTAINER without a trailer! Use a Dolly. Sea can. Transport.

- Built by Wide Vision Metal Fabrication, a quick way to move a 40 foot shipping container (or other sizes) is to roll a dolly under it, attach a hitch on the other end, and go!

Full length videos coming soon on the Dolly/Hitch build as well as a "story" style video on the actual move.
We are waiting! Super cool idea. The dolly must pass a check by the Road authority? In my country it is compulsory.
Can you post the dolly/hitch build. I’m desperate to find a mover after selling my property but nobody around here will move a container except for out of state movers. I just want to move it two miles
Now that is what I call a solution to a tricky problem. What a great idea.
Absolutely brilliant! It’s about time I get to see that crane in action
If you'd stayed here another day, you could have seen the crane in action. I would have used the crane and lifted you up into our dead elm tree so you could trim some branches for us. :) lol
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
I love it, Walt. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Hello from the Netherlands and thanks for the video
You're welcome and greetings from the Center of the USA! :)
That is a great idea! Nice job.
Nice intermodal service!
It worked great! Now I have to decide if I want my customers to find out I can move containers. It might turn into another business venture given the demand for containers right now!
Now that is using your head and skills to make work like this easier .
Hell I want the truck. Lol
Awesome idea.
I can see our local transport inspectors eyes bulging already if I tried those sort of shenanigans here!
It's completely legal. Check out Dyna Dolly for a commercially made version designed for use with a pickup.
Great idea. Could you do a walk around video on the truck especially the tire and wheel setup along with the crane.
I should do that! I did a truck walk around video long ago, but that was before the switch to these tires, among many other changes. An update video is on the list. Thanks!
Good idea.
I like that where can you get that set up
How to move a container without a trailer? Easy, just pick it up with a your common everyday household crane and put it on a mini trailer. LOL.
🤣 😭
Brilliant
How about a update on your international tire and wheel setup. It has been a long time since any update on them and some pics would be nice also,keep up good work.
That sounds like a good idea! I'll add it to the video to do list. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
What is that hitch called? I need a hitch like that to move my container.
Awesome.
Would this setup work on a 20ft container?
20ft shipping conatiner's are the same format as 40ft shipping container's, just shorter. So yes is the answer.
40 ft high cube containers weigh around 10k empty. Those axles are 5 lug 3500lb, so you're a little light weight there. Cool idea though.
Howdy Don! This one is not a high cube. The TARE is 7650 lbs on this container. There's a couple walls inside, so I rounded to 8,000 lbs, then add some more for the hitch and dolly frame. I set the center of the axles 150 inches from the rear, so there should be 6145 lbs on the dolly and 2155 lbs on the hitch. Theoretically, of course, as I didn't go across a scale to make sure. The springs on the axles don't appear overloaded. Also, the hubs were cool to the touch when I parked it in my drive after an 84 mile journey. I think it's good! :)
Dolly… few $7,000 thousand… used truck $90,000,… hitch attachment another $ 3,000 😅…
Do you have a video showing how your built this or do you have a build list and how you built it. I would like to built for a project coming where I need to move 4 40ft Shipping Containers. I can weld, all the time but don't know your built blue prints details. If you have any information please help I would like to built it. Thank you
I'm still working on the build video. email Matthew at widevisionmetalfab at the gee mails if you want more information.
@@WideVisionMetalFab Awesome thank you I will email him. I was watching your other videos Awesome.
How do I find someone that has this. I need a 40 foot container moved from my property to another a couple of miles away.
Only empty?
Yep.
Where do you buy those attachments?
The hitch and dolly? I built them.
@@WideVisionMetalFab I would love to buy them if that was possible
If you didn't have to use a crane it would be more economical.
Would this setup work on a 20 ft container?
