Container transport for 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers

We transport a wide range of sea containers and site containers, including:

  • Standard 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers
  • Empty and loaded containers, subject to weight and access checks
  • Storage containers
  • Site office containers
  • Refrigerated containers
  • Containers used for workshops, construction sites and tiny home projects
  • Containers being moved between depots, yards, homes, farms and worksites

Before your job is booked, we confirm the container size, estimated weight, pickup location, delivery location and site access. This helps us select the correct truck and avoid delays on the day.

The right truck for the job

Different container moves require different equipment. WestAus operates a heavy-duty fleet that includes side loader trucks, tilt trays and heavy transport vehicles capable of handling containers up to 36 tonnes, depending on the job requirements. A side loader is often the best option when a container needs to be lifted directly on or off the ground and positioned accurately beside the truck. A tilt tray may be suitable for certain container moves where access, weight and placement conditions allow it.

Preparing your site for container delivery

To help your container delivery run smoothly, clear vehicles, machinery and materials from the access path before the truck arrives, and make sure the ground is firm, level and suitable for heavy vehicles. Check for low trees, power lines, eaves or shade structures, confirm which way the container doors should face, and allow enough room for the truck to position safely.

What we check before moving your container

Shipping container transport is not just a matter of sending a truck. A safe and efficient move depends on careful planning.

Before transport, we may ask about:

  • Container size: 10ft, 20ft or 40ft
  • Approximate container weight
  • Whether the container is empty or loaded
  • Pickup and delivery addresses
  • Site access width
  • Overhead trees, power lines or roof structures
  • Ground surface and slope
  • Where the container doors need to face
  • Whether the container must be placed in a particular orientation
  • Clearance for the truck to enter, turn and exit safely

If a site has tight access, uneven ground or limited clearance, let us know early. Our team can advise whether a side loader, tilt tray or another heavy transport option is likely to suit the job.

Container Transport FAQs

The cost depends on the container size, weight, pickup location, delivery location, distance, truck type, access conditions and placement requirements.

A short metro move for an empty 20ft container will usually be more straightforward than a long-distance move for a heavy 40ft container with tight site access. The fastest way to get an accurate price is to call WestAus with the container size, pickup suburb, delivery suburb and any access details.

The truck depends on the container and site conditions. Side loader trucks are commonly used when a container needs to be lifted on or off the ground and placed beside the truck. Tilt trays may be suitable for some container moves, depending on weight, access and placement requirements.

WestAus will recommend the right vehicle after checking the container size, weight, access and delivery location.

Yes. Weight is one of the most important factors in container transport. A loaded container may require different equipment, additional planning or specific handling compared with an empty container.

If your container is loaded, tell us what is inside and provide the estimated total weight. This helps us confirm whether the move can be completed safely and legally.

Yes. WestAus provides container transport across Perth and regional Western Australia. We regularly assist with metro moves, industrial transfers, rural deliveries and longer-distance container relocations.

Call us with your pickup and delivery locations so we can confirm availability and provide a quote.

Before delivery, make sure the truck has safe access to the placement area. Clear the route, check for overhead obstructions, confirm the door direction, and make sure the ground is firm enough for a heavy vehicle.

Tell us about any tight driveways, soft ground, slopes, low trees, power lines or restricted turning areas before the job. This helps us plan the move correctly.
