Making a Box Trotters Move Can include Shipping Your Car Inside Your Container for Maximum Savings and Protection from road debris In Easy Steps...
Step 1: (On most applications, our customer will have loaded all personal property from inside the residence into the front of the container-cars are usually loaded last) You will set up your own scheduling with a local tow truck company that you will call and handle all arrangements. You may be able to find a tow truck operator at this link: Towing Or, you may want to try the Super Pages. You drive or have the tow truck operator winch your car up onto a "roll-back" truck.
Step 2: Once your car is up on the bed of the "roll-back" truck, the operator uses hydraulics to level the bed of the truck.
Step 3: The "roll-back" truck operator slowly and carefully backs the "roll-back" truck to meet the back of the container.
Step 4: The car is driven or pushed into the container from the "roll-back".
Step 5: The car is driven or pushed into the container from the "roll-back".
Step 6: The car is driven or pushed into the container from the "roll-back".
Step 7: One of the most important steps is securing the car. In this shot, you'll see how 2 x 4 wood blocks are screwed down to the floor of the container and around each wheel to prevent the car from moving during transit.
Step 8: As an added securing step, tie down straps that can be tightened by tensioning ratchets, are tied between the car and the floor of the container.
And, as you can see, a motorcycle can be added if you prefer.
