A system and method for moving cargo shipping containers includes a tractor with a first unit and a separate second unit. The first and second units grip the front and back ends of the container to lift it, using the tractor for the front chassis and the second unit for the back chassis. The cargo container becomes its own trailer. The second unit may be towed by the tractor behind the first unit, maneuvered into position at the back of the container, and then coupled to the container for lifting. The tractor may then position the first unit to the front of the container for attachment, and then proceed to a destination. Hydraulic cylinders operated off the tractor's power take off provide the lifting force.
