Moving a portacabin, modular building, or storage unit can be challenging enough, but what happens when overhead power lines are in the way? With the right equipment and expertise, it’s not only possible- it can be done safely and efficiently.

At Container Mover, we understand the difficulties of moving units across grass and have developed solutions to make the process safer, cleaner, and more efficient.

Portacabins and modular buildings are popular solutions for schools, city centres, leisure facilities, sports clubs, and in residential areas. Their flexibility and speed of installation make them an attractive choice. However, one major hurdle often arises: how do you move them when space is limited?

Skating might work if you’re moving a single container across a short distance on a perfectly flat yard, but for most real-world sites, it’s a method with serious compromises.

To overcome the access limitations, we deployed our compact tracked Container Mover, designed specifically for navigating confined spaces. Each container was carefully moved through the tunnel in stages, ensuring safety and accuracy at every step.

The Container Mover team worked closely with Spotless Water to assess the site, and then used the Container Mover to reposition the unit smoothly and safely, without the need for additional machinery or invasive groundwork. The result? A perfect placement, carried out quickly and professionally, with minimal disruption to surrounding operations.
