Why Choose Equip Hire for Container Transport

Owner-Operated

You speak with Jack directly. Same person who runs the excavator hire side. Direct answers, transparent quotes, reliable service.

Northern Adelaide Local

Modbury Heights base reaches Salisbury, Elizabeth, Munno Para, Gawler, and surrounding areas faster. Same-day container service often available, subject to schedule.

Tight-Site Experience

Through our excavator hire business, we work narrow driveways, soft ground, and difficult-access sites every day. We plan placement and account for ground conditions.

Transparent Pricing

Container transport from $175. On-site relocations typically lower because we don't drive between sites. No hidden fuel surcharges, no 'we couldn't access the site' surcharge.

Reliable Equipment

Tilt tray maintained by in-house technicians. Hydraulic ramp, winch, tie-downs, and load-rated equipment all kept to standard.

Safe Load Restraint

Best-practice load restraint with rated tie-downs and chains. Hendrickson airbag rear suspension provides smooth transport for delicate container contents.

Site Access Considerations

Container delivery depends heavily on site access. Things to consider before booking:

Driveway Width & Gate Clearance

Our tilt tray needs adequate width to manoeuvre. Tell us about driveway width, gate clearance, and any tight corners on the approach.

Ground Conditions

Tilt tray weight + container weight = significant load on the ground at the placement site. Soft soil, recent rain, sandy ground, or ungraded sites may need additional planning.

Overhead Clearance

Standard 20ft containers are 2.6m tall plus tray height. Power lines, low tree branches, building overhangs, and pergolas are all considerations.

Final Position

Tilt tray placement is precise but limited by approach angle. If the spot you want isn't reachable, we'll work with you on alternatives.

Tell us about access in your initial enquiry. We've worked tight Northern Adelaide sites for years through our excavator hire business. We'll be straight about whether your site is workable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Email jack@equiphireau.com if your question isn't answered below.

No. Our tilt tray is sized for 20ft containers. 40ft containers require a semi-trailer or other larger transport. If you need a 40ft container moved, we'll happily refer you to an Adelaide operator who handles them.
Container transport from $175. Exact pricing depends on distance, container weight (loaded vs empty), and complexity. On-site relocations typically lower than longer transports because we don't drive between sites. We provide a transparent upfront quote before booking.
Port Adelaide pickups have specific access and certification requirements. Please call us to discuss your specific job; we'll either arrange the pickup or refer you to an operator with the necessary certification. For containers from non-port depots and yards across Adelaide, we can handle pickup directly.
Yes. Moving a container within your own property is one of our common services. Often quicker than longer transports because we don't need to drive between sites. We can usually handle on-site relocations same-day for Northern Adelaide.
Yes, within our payload capacity (typically up to 14 tonnes depending on configuration). Tell us approximate weight when booking; if it exceeds our capacity, we'll let you know upfront. Most domestic-storage loaded containers fit within our capacity.
Same-day container service is often available for Northern Adelaide jobs booked before 10am, subject to existing schedule. For Adelaide metro and Adelaide Hills areas: typically 1-2 day notice. Regional SA: 2-3 day notice depending on location.
Within our payload range, smaller portable buildings and site offices fit our tilt tray. Larger portable buildings often need different transport (specialist house-mover trucks). Tell us dimensions and weight when booking; we'll be straight about whether we can handle yours.
Driveway width adequate for the tilt tray. Gate clearance for the truck plus container height. Stable ground at the placement site. Overhead clearance from power lines, tree branches, and building overhangs. Tell us your site details when booking and we'll confirm whether it's workable.
Yes, goods-in-transit insurance applies to containers we transport. For high-value contents inside the container, mention this when booking.
We accept bank transfer, credit card, and cash. Established customers can arrange invoicing terms. New customers typically pay on delivery or completion.
