Moving a portable building in the city is one thing—but what happens when your cabin is tucked deep in the trees or perched on a hillside miles from pavement? At Outback Transport LLC, we specialize in relocating sheds, cabins, and other portable buildings from even the most hard-to-reach spots in Northern Idaho and the Greater Spokane area.
We’ve moved structures out of thick forestland, across narrow gravel roads, and over mountain terrain that would intimidate most. It’s not always easy—but it’s what we do best.
The Realities of Remote Relocation
If you live off-grid, on acreage, or in a remote part of the Inland Northwest, your portable building is likely resting on uneven ground, behind locked gates, or at the end of a bumpy, winding road. Traditional transport companies might avoid these jobs—but we embrace them.
We know that not all properties are designed with access in mind. That’s why our equipment and methods are built to adapt to unconventional routes and unpredictable conditions.
Gear That Goes Where Others Won’t
Outback Transport is uniquely equipped to take on these types of rugged jobs. Here’s how we prepare:
- Custom Skids: These let us slide your building safely into position, even over dirt, grass, or rocky patches.
- Off-Road Trailers & 4×4 Trucks: Not every road is paved, and our fleet is ready for whatever the trail throws at us.
- Pilot Car Services: For oversized buildings or tricky navigation, we bring an escort vehicle to ensure traffic safety and clear communication.
- Experienced Drivers: Our team knows how to maneuver large loads around tight bends, through soft ground, and up or down steep inclines.
A Closer Look at the Moving Process
Every move is different, but our general approach includes:
1. Planning & Communication
We start with a conversation about your location, building size, and access. If the route looks complex, we may scout it in person or review aerial maps to develop a plan.
2. Preparing the Site
We help you identify any prep work needed, such as removing fencing, trimming trees, or creating a clear path for extraction or delivery.
3. Loading with Care
Using our custom skids and specialized tools, we carefully lift and load your structure while minimizing disruption to your land.
4. Traveling the Backroads
From narrow mountain passes to muddy farm tracks, we get your building from point A to point B with as little stress as possible.
5. Placement at Destination
Once we arrive, we’ll position your structure exactly where you want it—ready for use the same day in most cases.
We Know the Inland Northwest
We don’t just work here—we live here. From Bonners Ferry to Grangeville, Moscow to Spokane, we’re familiar with the roads, weather, and terrain that make each job unique. Whether it’s spring runoff, frozen ground, or dusty summer slopes, we plan accordingly to avoid unnecessary delays or damage.
Real Jobs. Real Terrain.
We’ve transported:
- Mini cabins off grid near Orofino
- Utility sheds through rolling pastureland in Post Falls
- Large structures down tight switchbacks near Clarkston
We’ve even moved specialty buildings like coffee kiosks and tool barns from one rural property to another. Each project is a custom job, and we treat it that way.
