Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We transport 10ft and 20ft shipping containers using heavy tilt tray vehicles. 40ft containers are not supported.

Containers should generally be empty or have securely fixed, evenly weighted contents to prevent shifting during tilting.

A tilt tray truck requires approximately 15 to 20 metres of straight clearance in front of the placement spot to tilt and pull away.

Accident Damage Is Present

Body or panel damage requiring careful positioning during loading.

Wheels Do Not Roll Normally

A seized wheel or damaged axle may require skates or specialist gear.

Vehicle Is Bogged or Difficult to Access

Restricted driveways or difficult collection points need extra planning.
