40' Shipping container wheels

[mikester]

Does anyone have any links to shipping container wheel kits that use the low speed AG wheels with 6 on 6" bolt circle and 4.5" hubs?

I want to move a container but I don't want to have to buy an extra set of wheels and tires to do it.

No idea about your question but this guy shows how he moved a container. Somewhere in the video he cuts an axle in two and spreads it out. Ends up he mounts it near the centerline of the container to carry most of the weigh. It might help you figure out any problems you might have.

All the kits I can find use 6 on 5.5"

Something like these. I already have 5ton running gear but I don’t want to cut them up

all the kits online seem to be geared towards using 6x5.5” or 8x6.5” light duty 3,800lb or 3,3500 lb trailer tires/wheels. My running gear wheels use 6x6” ag wheels

Could you buy something like that and put your hubs on the axle (spindles) of that container axle kit?

Perhaps buy a spindle (trailer axle) for a couple hundred bucks and put your hubs on it?

You may have to get the new axle from some farm equipment suppliers to get them to fit your wheels?

I don’t know of anything that works for your situation so will stop replying now!
