Installing axles on a ISO 20' container..?

[islandguydon]

I have searched HI and lo for a way to install axles on a container, this was mentioned on the forum to me a few weeks ago and after careful thought it beats buying a M172A1 or buying a separate container trailer since I cant find a decent one of those either.

I just added pictures a few messages down.

Any suggestions........?

Here is a "dolly" that we used on one of Jason's (jasonjc) containers when I was passing through back in '06. It may not be your size, but I image they are available for all the standard containers.

I have help put them on moble home axles, even used the tongue too

Buy a bolster trailer......the neck extends out and you can bolt the container to the frame.

I have a drop side deuce bed mounted on one and there is plenty of room for the extra lenght of a 20 foot container.

They also sit lower to the ground than a regular trailer.

Bolster trailer pics? I'd like to see the results of a 'container on wheels'...

That looks to be a VERY useful idea. I like it's lower center of gravity! Thanks for the pict WM.

The problem is the container weights 22,000 lbs + 3000 when its loaded with the extra stuff I store in it. Will a bolster trailer handle the weight..? + its 9' tall.

13'6" is the max trailer height to be legal going down the road. Does anyone have a lead on a proper military 20' container trailer..?

Here are the pictures I have of the unit: Standard 20' x9' ISO

What will you use to move it with and where are you going? Dolly are great but not at highway speeds and anything homemade for 25,000 lbs will have DOT on you.
You should be able to find many semi-type civilian trailers to move your. Wayne

I think you mean empty with is 2200lb?

Std ISO box is 8' high. If you have a 9' that is a Hicube and can't use a M1022. I think M1022A1 will work for a Hicube.

Rated load capacity of M1022 is 15000lb (box with cargon). Tires will be the limiting factor on total load.

Trailer quite nicely. Backing a full trailer is a bit of a trick compared to bumper hitch.

Bolster trailers have a 4 or 5 ton capacity

A10 ton or larger equipment trailer would do the trick.
