Designed and Made in USA

Not cheap
imports.
Texas iron.

These are not cheap shipping container wheels made from 3rd world countries. Every kit is assembled by certified welders in Cypress, Texas, from USA steel — and tested before it ships.

QUALITY

Certified welders. DOT-guided design.All of our shipping container wheel kits are assembled in confidence by our Certified Welders right here in Texas. The shipping container wheels adhere to all DOT Guide lines in their design for engineering. Units are designed so when the weight of the container is on the shipping container wheels, the lug in the keyway is unable to rotate due to flat surfaces making contact.

ENGINEERING

Vertical + diagonal gusseting.All of the shipping container wheel kits we manufacture, and sell are engineered with vertical, and diagonal supports to the lug and the spindle. (Other designs sold online secure their units loosely in the ISO shipping container lugs using hardware bolts and straps not designed for the intended purpose.)

USA STEEL

Built to outlast the container.Our shipping container wheels are designed to last. Made from USA steel.

How to use Shipping Container Wheels

About one minute
per corner

NO SPECIAL TOOLS · WALKING PACE OR LESS
01

Lift the corner

Raise one end of the container with a jack or forklift until the bottom corner casting clears the ground.

02

Insert the lug

Slide the Lug head into the bottom corner casting. Flat surfaces seat against the casting so the unit cannot rotate under load.

03

Tighten & mount wheel

Snug the hardware, mount your wheel on the idler hub, and repeat on the other corner. About one minute per side.

04

Roll it

Lift the opposite end with a light-duty forklift or tractor and roll — walking pace or less.

Effortlessly Move Shipping Containers with Tow Bars and Wheel Kits

Video: Effortlessly Move Shipping Containers with Tow Bars and Wheel Kits

Our shipping container wheels provide container transporters an efficient way to pick up and drop off containers with limited damage to the shipping container or the ground surface.

Installation takes about one minute and allows your shipping container to be moved by using a light-duty forklift.

Shipping container wheels allow for a smoother, gentler and quieter process. Instead of dragging a container off or onto a truck or trailer bed, Shipping Container Wheels roll the back edge of the container into position with ease and precision.

One shipping container wheel kit includes 2 End Wheel assemblies come with everything you need.

When using Shipping Container Wheels, move the container at a slow speed, walking pace or less.

SafetyThese units are for non-public road use ONLY. Such as moving containers around a Ranch, Farm, Parking Lot or construction site for example. Operate at Low speeds. (Remember there is no brakes.) Never crawl or put any body part under a lifted container.

FAQ

answers

If you have more questions use the form below to send your question to us. Thank you!

How does it work?

These shipping container wheel kits are your fastest and easiest solution by quickly installing an Idler Hub Spindle into the bottom corner of a shipping container. Just insert the Lug head into the bottom corner of the shipping container. These units are secured tightly and unable to rotate or become disconnected while in use yet can be disassembled quickly. Now, you can lift one end of your shipping container and roll it to any location you desire.

Can these wheels be used on public roads?

The shipping container wheel kits are for non-public road use ONLY. Such as moving containers around a parking lot, farm, or construction site are just a few example. Operate at Low speeds. (They DO NOT contain a braking system.) We've tested our container wheel kits throughout the country moving containers throughout rough terrain, gravel parking lots, sandy soil and forests.

Can you make custom container wheels?

Yes, we can also make custom container wheel kits for any application.

Do the kits include wheels and tires?

No. Each wheel kit includes 2 spindle + idler hub assemblies with hardware. You supply the wheels and tires that match the bolt pattern you order — 5 × 4.5, 5 × 5.5, 6 × 5.5 or 8 × 6.5.

How fast can I install a set?

Installation takes about one minute per corner. Lift the end of the container, insert the Lug head into the bottom corner casting, tighten, and mount your wheel.
