To move a container once the wheels are on Dobson devised a 4-piece hitch that slides, pins and locks into the container’s lower front corner casting holes. I do the same on the opposite side and the weight of the container is distributed over the 5,000 to 6,000-lb. container weighs about 5,000 lbs., so I jack and block up one side with a 3-ton barn jack, then slide the wheel in place. Two locking pins hold it in place, and the same is done on the opposite side.ĭobson says the wheels are easy to install using a high-lift jack. The frames slide into one of the fork openings when the container is jacked up on one side. He took a pair of wheels from a mobile home and mounted them on frames made from odds and ends of steel plate, angle iron and tubing. “My dolly and wheel system works real well for moving them short distances.”
Eliminate the problems associated with permanent mounted casters and get the job done easier with removable wheels by MCS.“I sell and deliver empty shipping containers and needed a way to move them,” says Arizona retailer and handyman Ken Dobson. Buy one set of removable wheels and use them with all of your containers. Easily manuever heavy loads and make your job easier. Keep your portable storage containers centered. When winching on and off of trailers or roll back trucks, the swivel wheels can be adjusted to always keep the container square to your truck or trailer. The built in manual swivel makes it easy to move portable storage containers anywhere. They are strong enough to handle 10,000 lb loads. The pneumatic wheels will not damage driveways.
With dual pneumatic wheels large enough to roll over unpaved surfaces, unleveled ground, rocks and even curbs, these bad boys can go anywhere. The removable wheel system by MCS solves these problems. the average cost of 4 casters can add up to $500 to the cost of a portable storage container. Casters get stuck in the ground on unpaved surfaces, they can break off when winching containers on and off, they can sink into pavement on hot days damaging driveways, locking pins sheer off, they are not easy to stack and worst of all. This causes all kinds of problems in the real world. Most containers come with permanent casters mounted to each container.
Removable wheels are the best solution for moving portable storage containers.
