- Prescott Valley, AZ - Two Quad-city residents have invented a way to make moving storage containers easier, quicker and more affordable. The trick: turn the container into its own trailer.

That is genius. Great way to move empty containers to a new location without a lot of equipment. Would make it easy for people building tiny homes, storage buildings, etc from empty containers. Now we need to get Harbor Freight to make a version!
No. That setup will work well for repositioning one on a lot but not for moving one on a road. It can pull the container into places that a big truck can't fit into.
@@danielebrparish4271 : I understood that. Did not mean to imply one could take one down the street, especially on hilly areas.
@@danielebrparish4271 it's made to move mty containers for storage locally
@@danielebrparish4271 pulls the same as a lowboy.
Lol look at the size of the tow truck he’s using. Got one of those?
Amazing! I move 3 or 4 containers a day with either a flatbed straight truck, or low boy full size trailer for the 40', but this looks great! A little tedious to load, but when you don't have a flatbed, it works! Great job
Are u located in calif. I need a tow ?

I dont have any storage containers.
But this has my attention...
Nice system guys. Simple easy and strong. Good job.
Very nice. I made something simular for a one time tow and welded to container. Yours is impressive.
Totally impressive! Thanks for sharing.
This is a really old idea. Towing dolly. Early Holmes Wreckers had them as an option. But very nicely adapted for M/T shipping containers. Thanks for sharing.
Just seeing this video gives me a hundred ideas for legal transportation of these units.
Simple well thought out.These guys know what they are doing.Would go down big in my country.
Awesome! Those containers are fit to be towed. Cheers!
Cool variation on the classic tow dolly!
I used this company and met the owner. What an AWSOME delivery and pick up.
What’s the company?
Hey! can you give me the contact info of this company, id like to buy one of these units.
Please send this company contact phone number.
“awesome “
The units must be empty, no?
Contact info: gary@wasteoildiesel.com Our company is launching this system for moving any shipping container with a class 5 or bigger wheel lift equipped tow truck
Is this rig, the dolly available for purchase? I would like to buy two of them.
Gary Gates hello..has your company created something for moving trailers now...really interested.
Gary Gates ..containers i mean
Gary Gates still have some available ?
Massive wide turns with the wheels in the back end. Move the wheels up 1/3.
Look at the tractor trailer behind it at end of the video. Moving the wheels forward 8 to 10 ft would work perfectly fine
They have to be at the back because the pocket is there. Wheels at the back of a 40' container won't be any worse to drive around than a 53' trailer.
@@strite25 the containers are 40’, and that is a 53’ trailer at the end of the video...just sayin’....

Ya but you guys miss that the pins can only go in on the corners, putting the wheels in further would require a whole different fastening method
I thought of that years ago but never owned truck big enough. Glad you thought of it and actually made the device ❤
I see that TH-cam recommendations is bringing us all together again.
Nah I actually searched this xD
I was in the towing biz 30 yrs ago. Wish I had that setup.
I'm in love with this invention. I give this information a Nobel prize.
That is so cool and thanks for posting!
Awesome concept...
i been trying to think of a dolly like this in my head to make. given the unevenness of my property a semi would never get a container around my house and into my backyard. two of these would be nice. a dolly like this plus a healthy tractor would be the ticket to success.
Excellent idea!
I did this exact thing 8 years ago with mobile home axels , only problem is that with the wheels outside it winds up being over legal width, but I have used the carriage several times for short hauls anyway.
That's neat
Oh, I've seen how to defeat this. You get a "WIDE LOAD" banner and some yellow flashing lights.
Great idea hope you continue to develop things to put on highway
Best of luck
Are the dislikes from trucking companies that can no longer gouge people to move an empty container?
You obviously do not know the cost difference between having it trucked vs a wrecker do it.....trucking is WAY cheaper. The cheapest by far is hotshot provided it’s not weighted with stuff inside or heavy remodel.
@@JAleksandr 350 for the tractor trailer or 150 for this dude. Do you do math.
I was charged a 1100$ from a towing company to move a 40ft.
@@JAleksandrtrucking where I live is $800 to $1200 , I found a guy on Facebook who does it with a 3500 pickup and a trailer for $350.
@@jajajajajajajajaja867there's always going to be some dude with a 3500 who thinks he's making money if he covers his fuel and his hourly wage. A trucking company is going to be more expensive, and a towing company is almost always going to be the most expensive.
That's awesome. I've made it in my brain but you made it in steel. Nice work.
i thought i could smell wood burning
Good job guys
Wow, that is incredible.
One hell of a set up i have to give you that !
Excellent idea.
great vid.
We had those in the Army decades ago
Yep, But they were much bigger and the front section was steerable. You could tow with a deuce and a half quite easily
Very nice!
What a great invention.
Nice design guys! 🍻 👍
Thank you sir
I built a dolly for carrying containers a while ago. Mounted high, over wheels to keep it under the 8'6" limit. I'd have preferred low, but the wide load permitting wasn't worth it.
I mid mounted mine, with bolts and straps to secure it in place. Mid mounting the wheels also improves maneuverability, and allows a light weight tow vehicle without insane tongue weight.
Are those 3500 lb axles? Probably OK got carrying half the weight of the container, but not the whole weight of the container.
I've seen a few over width containers (8'6", or 10'). Your design looks expandable enough to move them.
I see lights, but no wires. Wireless with battery? What about brakes? The rear wheel appears to have drums.
Nice tow truck !!
This is a cool invention
Fantastic love when people use their minds
Hey that’s awesome idea kudos
Very useful and creative
Now that is a proper clever idea!
its a version of a Sleipner transport system. Mining and forestry industry been using that sort of system for decades where a "Truck" is put under a piece of equipment. The equipment (sea can) itself is the engagement attachment to the prime mover (towing unit)
TY
Are these legal to use on the road? I do see an issue with the wheels being so far back but I suppose its the same when they are in service.
👌 Thats brilliant.... it'll never work in Australia tho (we love destroying good ideas due to regulations) 😳
you must be cousins with commiefornia
Regulations suck big time,,but sometimes it's just saftey more than anything.
Same with us in Nevada, U.S.A. It wouldn't be able to go down most of the side roads.
@@dannysanders7611 Why not ? It's not much different than a large camper & weighs about the same .
@@banno6938 most of the roads out here are dirt not very even lots of big rocks and holes in ground. Need a little more clearance than what is given. I am sure it could be done but would be very slow going.
Is this for just towing around yard or for actually delivering say short distances less than 50 miles. It is a great idea that I have been looking at building, I would do Torsion axles to have some spring effect though.
So it's only strong enough to move those containers empty do to the weak spindles on the dollies. And would you need over sized permits since the wheels extend passed the 8ft wide mark?
Robert Murillo ... Not too hot on the Inglis, eh?
I was wondering if there's an info or sells package on this set up?
Whoa-boy, is that a low-boy...! Now figure-out how to hook-up several in-tandem and freak-out the driver of some late-model "roller-skate" as you hammer-on-by them on the highway.
Wonderful idea indeed
Great Idea! I would run a strap from axle over container to axle to ensure it doesnt bounce off.
The container corner castings are bolted to the dolly.
Now I know how a Wisdom Sizzler ride is set up because of this video!
Great idea
Just a modified tow dolly with longer bars and pins welded on. They also really need to be running a chain along with the wheel lift.
Wow!!! AWESOME!!!
very good!
Next thing you know, Red Green will put a ducting system down each side and hooked up to 53 gas powered leaf blowers. Get 'em all cranked up and create an air cushion under the box. Once it gets off the ground, just push it where you want it.
J W. just add skirting, and you got a hovercraft 👍
How legal is this to be on the highway? I love the simplicity of this! Is it for sale yet?
Above 2.4 meter width & small ring wheel diameter I don't think so
So cool!
This has to be for very localized moving containers around as the dolly at the rear has the container weight securing it to dolly, on an open road, one big bump and up goes the container off the dolly and disaster is not far away! Good idea for moving around in an enclosed area though..
They can get pinned in. You can see the hole in the bracket. Same way they are pinned together for shipping
Pretty neat!
How does it steer tho? Seems to me that you are missing a swivel point? Nor the trailer or the boom are able to turn
Ya it would be to wide load up here today to. Many changes have came
Lol , Yep I had the same design 7 yrs ago. A few problems with it. Glad to see someone else move forward with it.
Im working on a new one that makes it easier to move into tight places and wont get hung up on the ground in the middle when off the pavement.
Congrats. hope it works for you
Just slide a single dolly axle under the middle and plug the wheel units onto the outside. Use a load binder to clamp it to the body of the container.
Bulldog187th. why not mount an axle where this guy puts his jack stands, use the forklift holes in the container to secure the axle
smart set up
Simple but very effective.
I learned a lot from this
I've seen variation of this device used in the past. I have also seen one using the same principle for hauling wrecked
cars when they did not have a roll back wrecker available.
cool idea
Sea container, shipping container, or what I mostly call them is a CONEX trailer.
I suppose its good if you have that kind of tow rig just lying around.
Who doesn't? I think ive lost 7-8 of those sumbitches this morning. Jk
Is that why they put all the lights on them, to make them easier to find?
And only pulling it around the yard
I saw another video the same guy now has what appears to be an F450 equipped with just the tow bar and uses this system.
@@pauliewalnuts7088 no he delivers them to jobsites.
There is no brake system on those wheels, I do not know about the US but in the EU anything over 750 kgs being towed needs to have a breaking system in place, otherwise illegal to tow
John .Mitch
Yes but you can do what you want if you're not on the highway!
John .Mitch
That's a good point, brake assist, cz when the t/truck slows down to stop, all that weight is pushing it forward.
It does have a "breaking" system in place. The roof of the container could crack and crumple if the assembly takes a hard enough bump and the metal has fatigued. You know, like Khan.
As to your assertion that anything over 750 kgs (750kg) needing a "breaking" system which is obviously a misnomer (braking is correct), the weight you have indicated is pathetically low. In English measure, 750kg translates to approx. 1650#. For those of you who don't get that, it is the designation for pounds, not hashtags, in this circumstance. Over here, we tow cars and trucks of varying weights. Few, if any, weigh less than 1650#. Even though virtually all have brakes, the towing vehicle rarely activates the towed vehicle's brakes. In the case of a heavy duty wrecker towing a truck with a semi trailer attached, the towing vehicle often has hookups to use the semi trailer's brakes in conjunction with the wrecker's. The same hookups are used when towing a semi trailer without a truck in between. The extensions, of course, are not used in a direct tow of the semi trailer. Now, all this stuff is to point out that the braking systems in use on towed vehicles are limited to air brakes linked to the towing vehicle's air braking system. Any combination of vehicles far exceeds 1650# even in the lightest circumstances. I don't have a data chart on hand, but I think it's safe to say that any conventional car weighs in excess of 2000#. Most, well in excess. As to the fact that cars are equipped with brakes, towing them correctly with a tow truck requires that the brakes are inactive during the tow.
IMHO, the devices demonstrated in the video are designed for use in a very limited area to precisely place a container in a location that isn't readily accessible by conventional methods. Even though it could feasibly be used on the road, it doesn't have adequate ground clearance to accommodate the highs and lows it would encounter.
John, THAT is one of many reasons why we don't live in the EU.
Yeah, this isn't a legal highway usage setup
Looks like it would work great in a straight line.
awesome very cool
I think it is a great improvement of the dolly.
With the wheels that far back that can backup and park very tight.
Hardly an invention more of a design .... I like the pivot idea in the middle; i use a forklift chassis bar and wheels for the last 15 years.. pivot idea has thumbs up... Might be a problem on the road when you want to turn a corner so I can only presume this is for moving around a big yard
I hauled a load of scrap off with a 75 3/4 ton. Tipped the scales at 26,660 pounds. It was a 30 mile back road drive to avoid the fuzz. Axles handle more than you think.
That was pretty damn good
Stinger and dollies. Awesome.
what kind of tires are these? I mean the specifications please.
Rubber
Are you selling these ? if so , where's the link and the price ?
Where I can buy this please ? Do you have a branch in California ?
@courierVideo is the a place where we can get the specs for it....this is amazing with bigger wheels? it would be awesome to take camping!
Container Moving Solutions
hummm, like the idea -- and yes it is an invention. but as indicated below there are many concerns, the main ones being: what is the target application, what is the load capacity, what is the use effect on the container, and if hydrologics are used to actually get the tires under the container and properly support the container to what extent can a light duty truck safely handle the container?
good idea
but will it still cost the average Joe 300.00 + for a container to be delivered under 100 miles or will it allow the average Joe to get container from the shipper for less ,
I do not think just anyone can enter a shipping port facility were these are removed from the ship
!!!!Thank You for sharing this is GENIOUS!!!
well done
I love this home video, and I'm trying to make the same video but it still can not be as good as the video you created

This is great! How can I get one of these or contact the company that makes them?
I could build something like this
Does it only work on empty containers?
Where do you buy these?
Would it be easier to maneuver if the wheels were mounted towards the front more?
Yeah. too much tongue weight as shown.
Question? Any road legal requirements or permits?
Yep, slick. I need that and put a hitch on the back!
Robert Merrick k
Does this actually reduce any cost compared to a spine trailer and a forklift? Two wreckers were still required
Only one truck is required to lift and transport the container.
Wow!!! That’s nice...!
I'm in Arizona and need this setup! how about some contact info
