Fully Insured and Safe Container Shipping Services in Louisiana

Container Transport ensures every load is protected against damage before it’s dispatched. That’s done by fully insuring it and ensuring a team of professionals handles it. We’re careful when loading your containers on different types of trailers and ensure they’re well-secured before dispatch.

When filling out our quote form or speaking to an expert, mention if you require loading assistance so we can make arrangements in advance. Our team is trained to load and unload containers carefully, but that’s done at an extra fee. When our driver and rigger crew arrive at the pick-up location, they inspect your container and fill out a bill of lading form. That documents the state of your container before transport and is later used to help us confirm if it was delivered safely. Contact our team today for container shipping services you can count on in Louisiana.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get a Container Shipping Quote?

To get a quote for moving containers, you can call Container Transport or visit our website. Click the get quote tab, usually at the bottom of the home or about us page. Sometimes, the tab is on the menu section. Give details of what you want to ship, in this case, a container. Next, you need to give information on the final destination of your container. Before you get the quote or estimate, submit your personal information, including your name, phone number, and email, to receive your free quote for moving containers.

What Kind of Trailer Do You Use to Move a Container?

Moving containers requires the best trailers that can handle heavy or wide loads. The choice of a suitable trailer depends on the container size, 20 feet or 40 feet, and weight. 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.

How Do You Load a Container on a Trailer?

Loading a container on a trailer or truck requires specialized equipment or tools. 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.

Do I Need Permits to Ship a Container?

Yes, permits are a vital requirement when shipping a container locally or internationally. Some local, state, international, and federal guidelines, regulations, and laws require you to have permits based on the type of goods you are transporting and the final destination of your cargo. As a renowned legitimate transportation company, we navigate the shipping industry and regulations to ensure our clients get all the necessary permits to ship their containers safely without legal issues.

Do You Provide Cranes for Loading and Unloading Containers?

Yes, we have cranes that help us load and offload your container from trailers and other means of transportation. The numerous cranes for loading and unloading include crawler, tower, overhead, floating, and gantry cranes with different applications. Tower cranes are state-of-the-art equipment that can lift containers to and from trailers during intermodal shipping. Overhead cranes help in lifting heavy containers in our shipyards.
