I know there are folks that have shipped a glider and trailer in a 40 foot container and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good company that ships containers from the West Coast (LA area) to Australia. Does anyone have any company recommendations?
Thanks, in advance - Renny

Renny, I might have some stuff that needs to go to Australia. Please contact me off-list.

Will do...Thanks!

It's been 15 years since I bought my current glider. The shipping company plastered stickers on the trailer front and back. The stickers were exceedingly difficult to remove, even with a hot air gun.

If you're shipping, might consider putting masking film or maybe plastic removable rattle can spray front and rear.

Guessing that would have been Ro-Ro?

Re 2G comment, I loaded the container in the yard of Primary's warehouse. The loadmaster took the container off the trailer with a forklift, and replaced it when loaded.
If you watch this done, it is normal that the container is not level. This helps when lowering the fittings on the container onto the those on the trailer.
On the return trip it was unloaded at a warehouse with plenty of docks.
If you can't get to the yard, organise the loading at a place with a loading dock. Long trailers and ramps aren't an easy thing to deal with, dual forklifts is interesting too.
