Container Moving for Schools and Local Authority Buildings

At Container Mover, we provide expert container and modular unit relocation services to schools, colleges, and public sector buildings across the UK. Our system is designed for sites where space is limited, lifting is restricted, or safety is a key concern, such as school grounds, council depots, libraries, community centres, and office estates.

Whether you need to reposition a classroom unit, move a storage container, or site a welfare facility on tight-access public land, we make it easy, safe and disruption-free.

Types of container we can move

Educational and local authority sites often require temporary or long-term units for additional space, but cranes and lorries aren’t always an option. Our no-lift, ground-level handling system allows us to move and precisely position:
‍

Modular Buildings

We specialise in moving modular classrooms and cabins

Welfare units

Easy relocation of welfare units without the need for lifting equipment
