Transporting large, bulky items such as 40ft shipping containers, expandable homes, pre-fabricated buildings, portable offices, and tiny homes can be challenging. These items are often oversized, heavy, and difficult to load or unload without the right equipment. Whether you’re moving across Melbourne, regional Victoria, or interstate, Red Tow has the perfect solution.
What Makes These Items Difficult to Move?
Unlike standard vehicles, containers and portable buildings do not have wheels or self-propelling capability. This makes traditional towing services unsuitable. Loading and unloading such large items often requires cranes or complex lifting setups, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
Best Options for Moving Containers and Tiny Homes
When it comes to transporting heavy and oversized items, you generally have two options:
Option A – Low Loader with Crane Assistance
This method uses a low loader trailer along with a crane to lift the item on and off. While effective, this process often requires additional equipment, operators, and space, making it costly and logistically challenging.
Option B – SuperTilt Trailer Transport
This is the most efficient and cost-effective method, and it’s where Red Tow excels. Our Extendable SuperTilt Trailer can self-load and unload without needing cranes or extra lifting equipment. This means fewer operators, lower costs, and faster turnaround times.
Why Choose Red Tow’s SuperTilt Service?
Our SuperTilt trailer is specifically designed for oversized transport jobs. It features:
- Hydraulic Tilt-and-Slide Platform – Provides a low-angle ramp for smooth loading.
- Extendable Deck – Perfect for long loads such as 40ft containers.
- Dual 10-Ton Winches – For controlled loading and unloading of heavy, non-movable items.
- Oversize Capability – We can handle up to 3.3m height and 3.4m width (permits can be arranged for larger loads).
This setup makes it ideal for moving:
- 40ft Shipping Containers
- Expandable and Pre-Fabricated Homes
- Portable Buildings and Offices
- Tiny Homes
- Caravans, Trailers, and Buses
How the Process Works
Once you book with Red Tow, our experienced operator will:
- Position the SuperTilt trailer at your site.
- Tilt the hydraulic deck to create the loading angle.
- Use winches to pull your container or home onto the platform.
- Secure it safely for transport.
- Deliver it to the destination as directed.
The entire process is quick, safe, and cost-effective compared to traditional crane and low-loader methods.
