Container & Cabin Moving by Hiab, with a driver
Eynesbury Group moves shipping containers, portable site cabins and portacabins with our Hiab crane lorries, and every move comes with one of our drivers to work the crane. We lift it on at one end and set it down at the other, so you need no crane or forklift on site.
Every lorry runs from our yard in St Neots. Most of our work is across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, and we move loads anywhere in the UK.
Moving a container or cabin by Hiab
A Hiab is a lorry with its own crane. Our driver lifts the container or cabin onto the lorry, brings it to your site and sets it down within reach of the crane, onto a yard, a field or a building site.
Tell us what it is, its size, whether it is empty, and the pick-up and drop-off postcodes. We will confirm the right lorry and the price before anything is booked.
What we move
- Shipping containers: storage containers for yards, farms and building sites, lifted on and off the lorry.
- Portable cabins and site offices: portacabins and site offices moved between sites or set down on a new one.
- Something else: send us its size and weight and we will tell you straight away whether a Hiab is right. See Hiab Hire
Before the lorry arrives
- Empty it if you can: an empty 20ft shipping container weighs about 2.3 tonnes and a 40ft about 3.8 tonnes; the exact figure is marked on its doors. Anything left inside adds to the lift, so tell us if it will be loaded.
- A firm, level base: have the spot ready where it will sit, level and firm enough to take its weight, and tell us what it is.
- Room for the lorry: the lorry needs to stop close to the drop-off point, on firm, level ground for its stabiliser legs, with clear space above, away from cables and branches.
- Lifting from the road: some councils license mobile cranes used on a road, verge or pavement, and need notice. If our lorry will have to stand on the street to lift, tell us when you book and we will check what your council needs.
