Container moving carts are designed for moving ISO shipping containers and heavy equipment around job sites without cranes. These heavy-duty mover machines are found at ports, warehouses, and industrial operations. Browse our selection of container carts built for heavy-duty use.

Container Carts for Heavy-Duty Operations

Moving shipping containers and heavy equipment around job sites doesn’t have to mean calling in cranes or accepting that containers stay put once positioned. 

Container moving carts change that. 

These machines let even a single operator safely and efficiently move and reposition heavy-duty containers without fuss. They’re designed to handle serious weight—up to 60,000 lbs in some cases.

Where Container Carts Get Used

While the most common application is repositioning containers at ports and terminals between storage areas and loading zones, warehouses also need to relocate storage containers around facilities as operations change.

Construction crews use these carts to position modular containers where they're needed, and industrial operations move heavy equipment containers around yards for maintenance and storage.

Product Features to Look Out For

Twist-Lock Security: Twist-lock connectors that engage container corner fittings securely. This is the same connection system used on over-the-road container chassis that ensures safe transport.

Heavy Load Capacity: Working load limits to 67,200 lbs handle most container and equipment moving requirements.

Low Profile Design: Containers that sit just 21-42 inches off the ground, minimizing loading height and improving stability during transport.

Durable Construction: Sandblasted, primed, and painted steel frames resist corrosion. Ideal for outdoor use in ports, construction sites, and industrial environments.

Movement Options: Pneumatic tires handle rough terrain while casters work well on smooth surfaces. Optional towbars give you the choice of vehicle towing if required.

Why Use Container Carts

Single Operator Movement: One person can safely move containers that would otherwise require crane time or multiple workers. Reduces labor costs and scheduling delays.

Cost-Efficient Transport: Moving containers with carts costs less than renting a crane for repositioning. No waiting around for heavy equipment availability.

Flexible Positioning: Place containers exactly where needed. Easy to adjust placement for optimal workflow or storage efficiency.
