Moving Container
I have a 20’ shipping container which is located on waste ground. It is standing on a pair of 4” square hollow sections. I need to slide the
container side ways on the steels about 20 feet. I plan to use a turfer (or endless chain if required), but I’m having second thoughts as to whether
it is feasible. I don’t know why but I have a feeling we’re going to put a squeeze on and nothing is going to happen.
Its not possible to use a hiab lorry without taking down walls and over heard cables, crane would do it but I don’t want to go down that route for a
number of reasons.
Has anyone ever done this or similar?

If it's not fastened down, the Tirfor is strong enough and you have a good anchor it should do the job, Can you move each end a bit at a time ?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

They weigh about 4 tons so shouldnt be too hard to move.
Some round logs to roll it on??

You'll be able to shift that with a very big bar. We've moved a few 40 foot ones with a JCB loadall to push roughly then a big bar to
finish off.
