How to shift a 23 ton shipping container?

[wasted years]

I've got a 23 ton container 10 foot 8 inch wide by 32 foot long to move from Chesterfield to CUmbria.
Because it is wider than a standard container I am told that a double hiab truck won't handle it, even dropped to the ground right next to the wagon.
I don't really want to hire a crane if I can due to the cost (quoted over a grand a day) , does anyone know of a wagon that could handle this load or have any good ideas?
The container contains a a large diesel generator and is worth quite a lot of money so dropping the clutch and setting her onto tyres is out!

Try Brian Carberry, on 01359252212
Other than that a single lift should not be over £1000, look for local owner operators.
