Shipping Container Transport & Recovery Atlanta, GA

Atl Heavy Duty Towing provides specialized shipping container transport and recovery services throughout Metro Atlanta. We move 20ft, 40ft, and 53ft shipping containers — whether loaded on chassis or grounded — using Landoll tilt-deck trailers, step-decks, and heavy-duty flatbeds. Our team handles intermodal drayage support, rail yard pickups at CSX Fairburn and Norfolk Southern Austell, and on-site repositioning for construction, logistics, and storage customers. We specialize in container chassis breakdowns: when a motor carrier breaks down with a loaded or empty container on the chassis, we recover the entire combo without damaging the box or cargo. Our rotator wreckers and Landoll units allow safe extraction even in tight Atlanta locations or off-road job sites. Services include: loaded and empty container moves between rail yards, warehouses, and job sites; grounded container lifts and placement using mobile crane support when needed; 53-foot domestic container transport (high-cube units); chassis recovery and container securement after breakdowns or accidents; intermodal terminal support (Fairburn, Austell); and storage container delivery for construction and events. All moves are performed with proper weight verification, securement, and DOT-compliant equipment. We coordinate with rail operators and provide real-time updates for fleet managers and freight forwarders. Pricing for container transport typically starts with a hookup fee plus per-mile rates depending on container size, loaded weight, and distance. We offer upfront quotes and work directly with commercial insurers. Typical ranges: $350–$850 hookup + $8–$15 per mile. Available 24/7 with 45-60 minute response across I-75, I-85, I-20, I-285, and GA-400 corridors. Call (470) 458-0020 for immediate container transport or chassis recovery in Atlanta.
