What shipping containers can we tow and transport?
We provide container towing services for a wide range of container sizes and conditions.
10 foot shipping containers
These compact containers are well suited to smaller loads, storage, or sites with limited access. Measuring approximately 3 metres in length, they are commonly used for:
- Tool and equipment storage
- Small scale goods transport
- Tight urban or restricted access locations
20 foot shipping containers
The most common container size, 20 foot containers offer approximately 33 cubic metres of capacity. They are widely used for:
- Household goods
- Retail and commercial inventory
- Machinery and equipment
Their balanced size makes them suitable for many container tow truck applications.
40 foot shipping containers
These containers are approximately 12 metres long and are designed for bulk or oversized loads. They are often used for:
- Commercial and industrial freight
- Long haul transport
- High volume storage and logistics
We regularly provide shipping container towing for 40 foot containers using suitable transport equipment and site planning.
We can also tow and transport:
- Empty shipping containers
- Fully loaded shipping containers
- Damaged containers
- Bogged or stuck containers
No matter the condition, we ensure your container is moved safely and securely.
Is your shipping container stuck?
If your container is bogged on soft ground or difficult terrain, standard vehicles will not be sufficient. Extracting a container safely requires a specialised container tow truck and experienced operators.
Nationwide Towing & Transport regularly assists with recovering stuck containers from agricultural land, construction sites, festivals, and event locations. We assess ground conditions, access, and load requirements before completing the recovery to minimise risk and damage.
