    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    Well .............PLAN 2.0: Point out the flaws please! 1. Find a way to weigh the existing container and plan load weight of future containers. 2. Search the trucking boards for a good price to haul the heavy containers to Tenn. Possible multiple truck for same day loading. 3. Method for...

    I think this would work to lift the container for loading depending on lifting height. It appears that the forks would fit in the side pockets as well. A balanced load would be essential

    I think I could build a set of them. for a fraction of the cost. Not as automated but functional

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    The way I figure if I can just get them on to ground in Tenn. I will pay a crane service or rent an all terrain fork truck on moving /stacking day and set them in place. I know it will be expensive but with planning I can minimize the amount of time needed. A special thanks to you for taking...

    Yes the quonset one is one of my favorites We are moving away from florida ...cost of living and over crowding make it not so great any more. We may have a buyer for our property. . During the busy season 20,000 cars drive by a day.... I want it cooler and not so congested.

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    This gives me insight to what I have to look for and why. I am use to doing everything myself. My goal is basic, decent house, workshop low overhead and security. Moving 600 miles makes it more complex. I have been using semi trailers for my workshop for years. Summertime in Florida inside a...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    Great points! Thankyou I have one container so far. I am planning on anchoring all the shelves in place and covering the fronts with plywood for the rough ride of loading/unloading, The idea is this one will be a storage room as is. Fill the center isle with stuff on wheels or pallets for...

    I like the logic. The sandy soil on the florida end would be an issue. The rest is solid idea

    BEAT ME! BEAT ME!...LOL I won't get butt hurt. I want a plan that will work. I am getting a feeling that equipment failure is a real concern. I normally would think 8k miles on a low miles diesel truck would not be a concern. Is it because of the age of the truck?

    Everything you said is true. I think they make a portable scale that is used to weigh trucks. It has separate sensors for each tire that link together to get the total weight. I will research it. Thanks for the insight

    You got the idea about clearing property. Using the winch boom to get things out of the way to make room. I have used come alongs and pulleys with cables to make sure the the trees fall where they are suppose to. It would be a luxury to have the power and weight of the wrecker to speed things...

    Thanks for the information. You are right the pintle hitch HD trailers are expensive. Is there a good way to tow a step deck trailer with the wrecker? or would I have to go with standard 5 ton 6x6 truck. to move the low weight containers. It seems odd seeing the high towing weight numbers on the...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    Thanks.. I realize it will not pick the container up. I am in hopes it will be able to pull/winch the container on to the trailer and adjust position on the ground. Thanx again

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    We are planning on moving using shipping containers to pack everything in. I have large workshop, household items, tractor and implements. I estimate 6 forty foot containers. We will use the containers to construct the new workshop after the move. A couple of the containers will weigh more...
