Reliable Container Transporters in Florida

Florida is a big container hub with some of the biggest ports in the country, and we’re happy to have offices located here to help serve businesses and individuals. We transport containers safely from ports to businesses, business to business, warehouses to businesses, and all other locations. Once you provide us with the shipment details, an expert will handle the rest. Providing the correct details for your container is advisable to get an accurate transport estimate. That includes the size, dimensions, pick-up and drop-off locations, dates, whether you need loading assistance, and other important information. With that, we’re able to choose a suitable trailer for transport and ensure your container is dispatched on time. Depending on your containers' weight, number, and size, we use trailers such as flatbeds, step-decks, lowboys, hotshots, and RGNs. If you don’t have loading or unloading equipment, let us know so we can come prepared. That is offered at an extra fee.

Our container transport company has numerous types of trailers that handle oversized, heavy, or wide containers. Our logistic agents can recommend lightweight and high-strength chassis trailers because of their outstanding maneuverability, flexibility, and ability to carry 20-foot, 40-foot, and extended containers. We also use flatbed trailers that have adequate strength for container hauling. Another trailer option to hire is the Gooseneck, which can carry light to heavy containers.

Shipping container movers first ensure the container is in perfect condition, free from damages, holes, or issues that can damage the things inside. Next, the shipping specialists moving the containers ensure the trailer is parked in the best position for proper loading. It should have all the required tie-downs to hold the container securely for safe transportation. Our container transport company uses cargo lifters, such as top pickers, driverless AGVs, forklifts, and cranes, to lift the cargo and properly position it in the trailer for securing and transportation.
