How to use

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Elevate the Container

  1. Use heavy machinery—such as a forklift, skid steer, or a dedicated container jack kit—to raise the rear corner castings (cornerstones) of the container off the ground.
  2. Place heavy-duty wooden block cribbing securely under the frame to stabilize and support the container weight while you work.

Step 2: Insert and Lock the Hub Bracket

  1. Take the specialized wheel lug hub bracket assembly.
  2. Insert the locking lug side of the bracket directly into the lower side opening of the container's rear corner casting.
  3. Twist the bracket upward into place to engage the internal mechanism.
  4. Pro-Tip: The heavy metal-on-metal contact point inside the cornerstone handles 100% of the vertical load weight once the container is lowered.

Step 3: Secure with the Support Strap

  1. Hook a standard ratchet strap to the top of the wheel bracket assembly.
  2. Run the strap up the side of the container and anchor it to the upper corner casting D-ring or structural top lip.
  3. Tighten the ratchet strap until the wheel hub bracket sits completely flush and vertical against the container wall.
  4. CRITICAL STEP: This strap is not load-bearing and will not snap under the container's weight; its sole function is to hold the bracket perfectly straight so the wheels do not lean inward or outward while rolling.

Step 4: Mount the Tires

  1. Slide your tire onto the hub assembly. The bracket is engineered with a standard 6-lug trailer pattern.
  2. Thread on the 6 lug nuts by hand, then use a wrench or impact socket to tighten them securely down to the hub.
  3. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 on the opposite rear corner of the container. Once both sides are fully assembled, carefully lower the container onto its new wheels.

What Our Customers Say

  • Josh L.

    Fast shipping and packaged well. Very heavy duty and well built. Glad I found these to easily move my container around. Well worth the money.

  • Omar S.

    made moving the shipping container a easy task. I recommend these. Despite un-even terrain they stayed in place with no concerns or issues. Easy on and off! Make sure you have a source for the appropriate Tire/Rim combination if you decide to purchase without the tire/rim sets. It was shipped and received quickly. Packaging is secure and protects the axles well. Definitely a top tier seller!

  • Matt H.

    Works fantastic! Just as described. So helpful moving 40 foot containers. I do recommend buying a heavy ply tire to go with these.

  • Leonard S.

    Shipping container wheels appear to be high quality and arrived fully assembled. Shipping time was fine. Made in USA!! no bolts needed is a bonus.

  • Travis K.

    I was honestly stressing about how we were going to shift our container across the yard, but this kit made the whole process way smoother than I expected. Once we got the brackets locked into the corners, it was just a matter of popping the wheels on, and we were finally able to get the whole thing moving exactly where we needed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the wheels attach to my container?

The wheel hub adapters insert into the container's corner castings and twist to lock into place, then ratchet straps secure them from the top corner casting to the hub. There is no bolting and no drilling, the kit mounts using the container's existing corner castings, so it leaves the container completely intact and is fully removable.

Can I really move a container without a crane or truck?

Yes, that is exactly what this kit is for. You jack the container up, mount the wheels, and roll or tow it to a new spot, no crane, no hauling truck, and no professional service required. It is built for moving and repositioning a container yourself, and because the equipment is reusable, you can do it again whenever you need to.

Does this wheel kit fit my container?

Yes. It fits both 20ft and 40ft shipping containers because it mounts to the standard corner castings that every shipping container has. That makes it a universal solution rather than something built for one specific container size or brand.

Do I need any other tools to use the wheel kit?

To mount the wheels you lift each corner, which typically calls for a jack (and a leveler or lifting bracket) to raise the container high enough to fit the hubs. Once the wheels are on, a tow bar lets you pull the container with a vehicle. If you want everything in one purchase, a mobility bundle pairs the wheels, lifting gear, and hitch together.
