If you can pull it off the back of the trailer and get some cribbing under it and the pull the trailer mostly out from under it and then put some more cribbing by the other end. Get the trailer out of the way then use some high lift jacks to lift it off the cribbing and slowly work it down by removing the cribbing a layer at a time from each end.
Re-reading your situation you can’t get it past the trailer wheels going towards the back?
Same methodology, jack it up and place some cribbing or crossmembers under it until you can get the trailer out from under it then lower it down.
What I am wondering is how an 8x8 shed is between the wheels of a trailer. By description it can't be a deckover. Love to see a picture of the trailer with the shed.
I don't think you will be able to haul it in front of the wheels because the weight will be too much on the tow truck and raise the front tires to loose steering control. Can you get a flat bed trailer?
Another question, what material is this shed made of, how much do you think it weighs and does it have a floor in it? This info will help you get answers for hauling and removing.
If not, I wonder if you can lay the shed on the trailer with 4x4's under it. When you get home, slide longer posts underneath (outside the wheels of the trailer) and build-up with jacks / cribbage so that you can drive the trailer out, then lower it down slowly
Hmmm... sounds dangerous ? I dunno. That's my my novice-self would try and probably break something / someone in the process
That’s what I was thinking but after further review I think I’m going to use my brother in laws deck over and maybe dads diesel truck or pay a towing company
My neighbor was looking into buying a pretty good size shed some time back. We figured to load it onto my 31ft deckover tandem dually with my 12,000# winch and unload the same way.
I would call and have crushed aggregate delivered to set the building upon. It gives a nice, level surface, it keeps animals from digging under the building and it keeps the building clean and neat. Make the pad at least 10' x 10' so you have the building sitting on the pad with it larger than the foot print of the shed . This keeps the water running off the roof from splashing on your building and getting it muddy. .
10' x 10' = 100 sq foot, assuming 1' thick, which equal
100 sq ft x 1' depth = 100 cubic feet / 27 = 3.7 cubic yards,
Have 4 cubic yards of Crushed Aggregate Delivered.
Use the extra to build a nice ramp to the shed door.
Last year I paid $38 per yard delivered or this should cost about $160

I agree Sully, but the OP would be far better off using a PT ramp. My neighbor used gravel for his ramp and he spends more time grading it back up to the shed than he does using it to get into the shed. Level and low is the best thing for sheds.
I built a ramp for my shed out of crushed aggregate and once packed down, just from driving over it, its hard as concrete and doesn't move. Crushed aggregate is very different than gravel or stone. Not only does it compact very solid, it also hardens with moisture. It's also much more dense and doesn't shift around like gravel does.
The road I built with crushed aggregate is like a paved road now after 7 months instead of a gravel road. The "powder and dust" from the crushing process acts like a binding agent to the crushed aggregate and turns the road into a solid surface as it gets wet and dries.
It doesn't kick up the gravel like a gravel road does, it doesn't kick up the dirt and dust the way a gravel road does.
I buy grave;\l from my county road department. I can get a small dump truck load or a large dump truck load. They sell by the truck load once a week for county residents.
Set it on several 4x4s or larger. Park under a big tree and lift it off with a chain hoist attached to the 4x4s. You can also go between two big trees and run a chain between them for a hoist mount. Drag it to the desired location.
You can also do it with cribbing and several jacks but the tree is easier.
If you put the shed on with the door facing the rear of the trailer you could just leave it on the trailer and have a portable shed. You'd keep it off the ground and minimize rot plus you'd have a deck out front!
