Portable buildings offer convenience and flexibility, but what happens when you need to relocate one? Whether you’re moving to a new property, repositioning a structure on your land, or selling a portable building, professional transport is essential. At Outback Transport LLC, we specialize in moving a variety of portable buildings across North Idaho, Spokane, WA, and beyond.
So, what types of portable buildings can actually be moved? Let’s break it down.
1. Storage Sheds
Sheds are one of the most moved structures. Whether it’s a garden shed, tool shed, or large workshop, we can safely relocate it to your desired location. Sheds with skid foundations are generally easier to transport, but we assess every move to ensure safe handling.
2. Cabins & Tiny Homes
Portable cabins serve as vacation retreats, hunting lodges, or even full-time residences. Tiny homes, whether on wheels or a solid foundation, require expert transport to prevent structural damage. We handle these moves carefully, making sure your home arrives intact.
3. Prefabricated Office Buildings
Businesses often use prefab office buildings for temporary workspaces or mobile offices. These modular structures are built for transport, but they still require professional handling to ensure a smooth relocation.
4. Mini Barns & Livestock Shelters
Farmers and homesteaders frequently need to move chicken coops, goat shelters, and small barns. These agricultural structures are built to withstand the elements but still need careful transport to avoid shifting or damage during the move.
5. Coffee Stands & Small Business Buildings
If you own a coffee shop, food stand, or mobile business, relocating your structure could be the key to expanding your reach. We’ve helped business owners move their small commercial spaces efficiently, allowing them to set up shop in new locations without hassle.
6. Utility Buildings & Workshops
Portable utility sheds and workshops are valuable spaces for homeowners, hobbyists, and businesses. Whether you’re moving across town or just shifting to another part of your property, we can transport these buildings safely and efficiently.
7. Single-Wide Mobile Homes (Case-by-Case Basis)
Although mobile homes are designed for transport, not all movers handle them. We evaluate single-wide mobile homes on a case-by-case basis to determine if they can be safely relocated.
How Do You Know If Your Portable Building Can Be Moved?
Not every structure is easy to relocate. Here are the key factors we consider before transport:
- Size & Weight – The larger and heavier the building, the more specialized equipment is required.
- Foundation Type – Buildings with skids or runners are ideal for transport, while those on concrete slabs may require additional preparation.
- Accessibility – Clearances for roads, power lines, and tight turns impact whether a building can be safely moved.
- Structural Condition – The building must be stable enough to withstand the move without breaking apart.
