Container Mobility Starter Kit
A Complete, Safer Way to Move and Level Shipping Containers
Moving a shipping container isn’t as simple as it looks. With weights exceeding 5,000-10,000 lbs when empty - and far more when loaded -containers demand the right tools, proper lifting points, and controlled movement. Without them, even small adjustments can lead to damaged containers, unstable placement, or serious safety risks.
That’s exactly why we created the Container Mobility Starter Kit: a proven combination of essential components that work together to help you lift, move, level, and secure a shipping container safely and efficiently -without guesswork.
Why We Built the Container Mobility Starter Kit
Over time, we noticed a pattern.Customers trying to move or reposition containers often purchased one item at a time—wheels without proper lifting points, levelers without safe attachment hardware, or straps without a secure movement plan. The result was frustration, delays, and sometimes damaged equipment.Instead of forcing customers to piece together a solution on their own, we bundled the exact components most commonly used together, ensuring compatibility, safety, and ease of use.This kit eliminates trial and error and provides a complete mobility foundation for shipping container owners.
What’s Included in the Container Mobility Starter Kit
Container Wheel Movement Kit
The Container Wheel Movement Kit provides a controlled way to roll a shipping container short distances - ideal for repositioning on a property, aligning placement, or adjusting orientation.
Why it matters:
Containers aren’t designed to be dragged
Forks and heavy equipment aren’t always available
Improvised methods often damage corner castings
Best for:
Property owners repositioning containers
Job sites needing minor relocation
Final alignment after delivery
Choosing the option with or without wheels/tires allows flexibility depending on whether you already have compatible rolling hardware.
Leveler Booster Bracket
Anyone can lift a container with our leveler lifting bracket
Designed to fit in the corner castings of your container, this small but mightly tool allows users to jack up their container with a common bottle jack
Either buy a bottle jack from us or ensure that yours has the lifting capacity of at least 6 tons
Ratchet Straps
Ratchet straps play a crucial role in securing loads and maintaining control during movement.
Common uses:
Stabilizing wheel assemblies
Preventing shifting during repositioning
Securing components during transport or setup
High-quality straps reduce sudden movement and improve safety—especially when working on uneven terrain.
Lifting Hooks (2-Pack)
Shipping containers are designed with corner castings - but not all lifting methods are safe.
The included lifting hooks create proper attachment points for controlled lifting and positioning.
Why they’re critical:
Prevent damage to container edges
Provide secure connection points
Reduce unsafe lifting improvisation
These hooks are essential for pairing with jacks, chains, hoists, or other lifting equipment during movement or leveling.
How the Components Work Together
This bundle isn’t just a collection of parts - it’s a system.
A typical workflow looks like this:
Leveler Booster Bracket is used to jack up the container to install the wheels
Ratchet Straps secure movement and positioning
Wheel Movement Kit allows controlled rolling
Lifting Hooks create safe attachment points
Each step builds on the last, minimizing risk and maximizing control.
Who This Bundle Is Perfect For
The Container Mobility Starter Kit is ideal for:
Property owners relocating containers on land
Contractors managing job-site containers
Farmers and ranchers adjusting container placement
DIY container conversions and workshops
Anyone without constant access to heavy machinery
Who it may not be for:
If you’re planning long-distance container transport or lifting fully loaded containers with cranes, specialized rigging equipment may be required instead.
Why Buying This as a Bundle Makes Sense
Purchasing these items individually often leads to:
Compatibility issues
Missing critical components
Higher total shipping costsR
eordering delays
With the Container Mobility Starter Kit:
Components are selected to work together
You save time sourcing parts
You avoid common setup mistakes
You get a complete solution in one orderIt’s simpler, safer, and more cost-effective.
