Container Moving for the Construction Sector

At Container Mover, we offer a specialist container and unit relocation service tailored to the unique demands of the construction industry. From modular buildings and portacabins to shipping containers of any size, we move and position essential site units quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption, even where space or access is limited.

Whether you're managing a busy city-centre site or navigating a complex rural project, our equipment and expertise make us the ideal partner for tight-access construction environments across the UK.

Our innovative Container Mover system allows for precise manoeuvring and final placement without requiring cranes, forklifts, or disassembly- saving time, reducing risk, and eliminating costly access restrictions.

Why construction contractors choose Container Mover

  • Zero need for cranes or lifting gear: we eliminate height and access issues
  • Fast, efficient turnaround: we minimise downtime and stay on schedule
  • Perfect for confined or high-risk sites including city centres and operational locations
  • Full site surveys and RAMS provided, supporting your H&S and project compliance
  • Nationwide coverage- we operate across the UK

We work with a wide range of contractors, developers, and construction professionals,  from large national firms to independent builders needing expert support with tricky site moves.

Final positioning specialists

Transport is only part of the challenge. We specialise in final positioning, carefully manoeuvring units into place with millimetre precision, whether inside a warehouse, along a narrow driveway, or on uneven ground. Where traditional delivery falls short, Container Mover gets the job done.

Why construction contractors choose Container Mover

At Container Mover, we understand the demands of modular and offsite construction- speed, precision, and minimal disruption on site. Our service is built to complement your process by offering a flexible, efficient way to move and position modular buildings, pods, and offsite-constructed units in places where cranes or forklifts can’t operate.

Whether you're installing welfare units or temporary site buildings, we ensure safe, accurate placement, even on restricted-access plots or uneven terrain. Our specialist moving equipment allows us to manoeuvre and site finished units with care, reducing risk of damage to finishes, foundations, or surrounding structures.

We can work directly with your install team or act as a final-stage delivery partner, supporting:

  • Just-in-time delivery to construction sites
  • Internal positioning within warehouses or compounds
  • Complex placements in built up or residential areas
  • Sites with limited space or no crane access

Our hands-on, safety conscious approach- including full RAMS documentation and pre-delivery site assessments- ensures your modular builds are handled with the professionalism your clients expect.

Reliable, adaptable, and engineered for modern construction methods, Container Mover helps you deliver offsite construction with confidence.
