How Container Transport Works
Here's how self pack container transport works:
Delivery: The delivery truck will arrive with the container and use a hydraulic system or crane to place it in the designated spot.
Packing: Once the container is in place, you’ll have the time you’ve allocated to pack it.
Loading: Once you have packed up your house, it's time to load the container. You can do this a little bit at a time or do it all in one day/weekend. It's entirely up to you. That's the beauty of self-pack container removals - you can work around your schedule.
Pick-Up: After packing, you’ll schedule a pick-up for your container. The same truck (or a different one, depending on logistics) will return to retrieve the container. The driver will use the same equipment to lift and load the container onto the truck.
Transport: The container will be transported to your new location or storage facility. Depending on the distance and the transport company, this could take a few hours to several days. Container transport usually includes fuel costs as well as minimal insurance so you may want to consider extra contents insurance.
Drop Off:Once your container arrives at your new home or location, the transport company will place it in the designated area, whether this is your driveway or on the street. Remember, you will need to pay a permit fee if parking the container on a street.
Unloading: Now the fun part! Unloading the container at your own pace and enjoying that fresh new home feel! Take your time, enjoy and take plenty of breaks.
Pick Up: Once you have finished unloading the container, a transport company will return to your home and pick up the container (if it's a container hire).
The process may sound complicated but it's actually really simple and one of the most convienent ways to move.
Benefits of Container Transport
The main benefit is container transport is often a lot cheaper than using a full service removalist company, especially if you’re moving interstate or to a regional or remote location.
Many removalists won't travel to remote and regional areas which is a shame. Best Rated Transport specialises in regional container transport so even if you are heading to, let's say, Weipa, or Mt Isa, we can assist in finding you with regional interstate transport.
Self-pack moves also allow you to move at your own pace and handle your contents yourself. General container transport hire allows you to keep the container for 30 days. We recommend having it at each location for 10 days with 10 days for transport. This gives you 10 days on either side to remove your contents and allows for a more relaxed loading and unloading process.

Transport You Can Trust
"What a fantastic company to deal with, right from my initial call to Katie who organised everything and was such a lovely person, to Ross the delivery driver who was so friendly and helpful he kept us informed every step of the way. Very pleased and furniture arrived earlier than anticipated. The cost was very good as well. I got two other quotes that were twice the price that it ended up being. Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to move"

"You just don't get service like this anymore. Super friendly super professional, nothing was too much trouble. Katie went above and beyond to insure the transport of our freight from Rockhampton Qld to Perth WA was nothing but a pleasant experience. Also a big thank you to Chris for the same level of service here in Perth. We could not recommend Katie, Chris and crew highly enough. A big thank you to all involved."
