20ft Container Delivery & Haulage in London

We provide specialised 20ft container delivery and haulage services across London, the South East, and the South of England. Our fleet of rigid HIAB vehicles allows us to collect, transport, and position your containers with precision. Whether you are setting up a site office, require secure storage, or need to relocate assets, we manage the entire process from collection to final placement.

Working with construction companies, event organisers, and commercial businesses, we solve the logistical challenges of moving bulky, heavy items in restricted urban environments. Conventional transport often requires you to hire additional mobile cranes or forklifts to unload, adding cost and complexity to your project. Our HIAB-mounted cranes eliminate these hurdles by handling the offload directly from our vehicle, ensuring a smooth delivery even on sites with limited space.

Our team handles a wide range of container movements, from delivering empty units to busy city centre construction sites to relocating loaded containers for industrial clients. We have the capability to handle loaded container moves, provided the total weight is under 4 tonnes. By combining expert lifting with reliable road haulage, we provide a consistent service that keeps your project or site operations running without interruption.

Our London container transport service

Our container transport service relies on rigid lorry-mounted crane vehicles that serve as both the transport platform and the lifting equipment. This dual functionality is essential for delivering 20ft containers into tight yards, restricted building sites, or onto prepared foundations where access for larger machinery is physically impossible. We place containers exactly where your team needs them, reducing manual handling and site preparation time.

Our drivers are highly skilled in HIAB operation, possessing the necessary qualifications to conduct lifts safely in complex environments. Upon arriving at your site, they perform a thorough assessment of the ground stability and overhead clearance before commencing any lifting activity. This diligence ensures the safety of your team and protects your assets during the critical loading and unloading phases.

Safety and compliance form the foundation of our work. Every delivery includes the required documentation and lift plans to ensure you remain compliant with relevant health and safety standards. Our vehicles undergo rigorous, regular maintenance to ensure they perform reliably under heavy loads. We take full responsibility for the lift, meaning you have one point of contact for the entire logistics chain, simplifying your administrative burden.
