Shipping Container Services

It’s important to be confident with your shipping container transport provider in getting your container from a to b. With Bridging Distances, we’ll ensure a smooth solution-based service to check off all your requirements. We’ll help ensure the proper equipment is scheduled for your container by going over the shipment details with one of our specialists. We have great experience moving these containers using tilt-and-load, HIAB, flatbeds, step decks, and RGN trailers across Canada & USA. Whether you have a 5′, 10′, 20′, 40′, or 53′, we can help you move it. Our Services include container pick ups from homes, businesses, ports, and rail yards. A shipping container is a big, standardized steel box used to store and move goods efficiently between homes, business, storage facilities, intermodal yards, ships, trains, and trucks without needing to unload any cargo in-between. It has corner castings (heavy-duty fittings) so cranes can lift it and so containers can lock together when stacked. Standardized sizes means that ports, ships, rail cars, and trucks are all built to share the same formats, which is what helps speed shipping and make it relatively affordable. Each container is labelled with it’s payload and tare weight, payload meaning the maximum amount of weight that the container can be, and the tare weight meaning the empty weight of that container.

The size, weight, distance, site access and time of year all play a role in determining the cost to move a container. A full 40' requires a much different setup compared to an empty 20' container, so it's important for us to pair your job with the right equipment and crew.

Go with Bridging Distances and you’ll be paired up with an experienced logistics expert who will put together permits, choose safe routes, and keep you in the loop from start to finish.

All of our moves are fully insured and completed by CVOR-compliant drivers. Every trip is unique and different in it's own way, which is why it's important to plan for the unexpected that way your container arrives smoothly and in the condition it left in.
