Moving a 20' shipping container Results
 

Thank you all for your kind advice and tips. On friday two of us moved in
into place, unfortuntley due to the weather I was unable to take any
pictures (it rained for most of the day). I ended up building a set of
rails out of 2" pipe sitting 2 x 8's as sleepers and rolled it along using
more 2" pipe as rollers and a couple of 5' bars as levers.

Every thing ran very smoothly and in a controled fashion, but if I was to do
it again I would of liked to of had another toe jack and an extra pair of
hand would not of gone a miss. I certainly would tackle a similar task
again. Once again thank you all for your advice.

Thanks for the feedback, and I am glad we did not lose a
participant.

Good luck with the rest of the project.

It's just like dice. You think it through. You place your bet. You roll
the dice.

I'm happy everything worked well for you.

Your comment:
"Every thing ran very smoothly and in a controled fashion..."
is the key that allows you to "back up and try again" if
necessary and keeps everyone safe. :)

Good work.

Congratulations and thanks for taking the time to come back and let us know.
I was actually wondering about you the other day.
