Container Towing & Transport

Safe, Reliable Shipping Container Transport Across Newcastle & the Hunter

Need a shipping container moved? Whether you’ve just bought a storage container for your backyard, need one shifted between sites, or you’re relocating a loaded container across town, NewLake Tow Trucks has the equipment and experience to get it there safely.

We provide professional container towing and transport for 10ft and 20ft shipping containers across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, and the wider Hunter Region. Using purpose-suited tilt-tray trucks, we load, transport, and place your container exactly where you need it, no cranes, no fuss, no damage.

Available 7 days a week, we handle everything from single residential deliveries to ongoing commercial container movements.

What We Transport

Our container transport service covers:

10ft shipping containers

Compact storage and site containers, ideal for residential blocks, small yards, and tight-access properties.

20ft shipping containers

The standard shipping and storage size, moved safely on our tilt trays, whether empty or loaded.

Empty or loaded containers

We transport both empty containers and containers loaded with goods, tools, or stock. Just let us know the approximate loaded weight so we send the right truck.

Storage & site containers

Moving a container between job sites, or shifting a storage container to a new property? We handle site-to-site relocations across the region.

Because our quote system already accounts for container size and whether it’s empty or loaded, you’ll get an accurate estimate up front, no guesswork.

How Container Towing Works

Moving a shipping container isn’t the same as towing a car, it takes the right truck, the right access, and a bit of planning. Here’s how we make it straightforward:

  1. Get a quote. Use our instant quote tool or give us a call. Tell us the container size (10ft or 20ft), whether it’s empty or loaded, the approximate weight, and the pickup and drop-off addresses.
  2. We check access. Container transport relies on tilt-tray access at both ends. We’ll confirm there’s room for the truck to position, level ground to load and unload on, and that the ground is firm enough to drive on.
  3. We load and secure. Our tilt trays lower to ground level, letting us slide the container on and strap it down securely, no crane required for standard loads.
  4. We deliver and place. We position the container where you need it, on level ground, ready to use.

Site Access & What to Have Ready

The smoothest container moves come down to access. Before we arrive, it helps to know:

Not sure about access? Give us a call and we’ll talk it through, we know the region and can usually work out the best approach before we even leave the yard.
