Our Story: Addressing a Critical Gap in U.S. Container Handling
Container Movers is a nationwide container moving carrier specializing in the safe, efficient transport and placement of fully loaded and empty shipping containers across the United States. We deploy the most appropriate container-handling method for each move—including specialized sideloaders where available—to achieve precision lifting, reduced site disruption, and faster turnaround times. Through detailed site assessments, experienced carrier operations, and access to unique, specialized equipment, we deliver dependable container moving solutions for residential and construction sites, industrial facilities, ports, and distribution centers nationwide.
Founded to solve persistent challenges in U.S. container logistics, Container Movers was built around a simple principle: every container move requires the right equipment, the right planning, and the right execution. We focus on delivering consistency, safety, and technical expertise—particularly in environments where traditional methods create delays, added risk, or limited placement options. This operational discipline allows us to scale nationwide while maintaining precision, communication, and accountability on every move.
