We provide fast and reliable shipping container delivery across Australia. Standard sale and hire containers are typically delivered within 24-48 hours, while specialised containers, such as refrigerated, open-top, or modified units, may require extra planning and time.
“Delivery was very smooth and driver communicated time of arrival. Office communication was always prompt. Container was in excellent condition, recently painted with locking box and durable flooring. Rates very fair, no problems recommending.”John G ★★★★★
Four truck types
Our fleet includes a variety of transport options to ensure your shipping container is delivered safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. The right truck depends on your container size, access conditions, and budget.
Tilt tray trucks offer the most affordable delivery method, with contractors charging by the kilometre. The container is positioned so the doors face the correct direction upon delivery. The truck must reverse to the drop-off point, where the tray tilts, sliding the container onto the ground. This method is best suited for locations with clear, open access and minimal obstructions.
Ideal for
10ft (3m) & 20ft (6m) shipping containers, empty or loaded.
When the site has obstacles like fences, trees, or limited access points, a crane truck is the best choice. The truck comes with an attached crane to lift and place the container exactly where needed. Due to its complexity and precision, crane truck deliveries come at a premium, with contractors charging an hourly rate rather than per kilometre. This method is ideal for difficult-to-reach locations or elevated placements.
Ideal for
10ft (3m) & 20ft (6m) shipping containers, empty only.
Side loader trucks are the preferred method for delivering large 40ft containers. The truck lifts the container from the chassis and lowers it directly beside the vehicle, ensuring minimal ground impact. However, unloading can only happen on the driver's side, making it essential to plan the placement before delivery. This method is highly efficient for sites with straightforward access.
Ideal for
40ft (12m) shipping containers, empty or loaded.
Super tilt trucks work similarly to tilt trays but cater specifically to 40ft containers. The truck reverses to the drop site, tilts the tray, and smoothly slides the container onto the ground. This method requires ample space and a level surface to ensure a smooth unloading process. It is a reliable choice for delivering larger containers in open areas without obstructions.

Tell us how you want to access the container doors. We load the container at our depot to suit, so the doors face the correct direction upon delivery. Side loaders can only unload on the driver's side, so it pays to plan the placement before delivery.
The right truck depends on your container size, access conditions, and budget. Tilt trays are the budget-friendly choice for 10ft and 20ft containers on open sites, crane trucks handle tight spaces, and side loaders and super tilts deliver 40ft containers.

Your container is best placed on a level surface. An uneven surface can stop the doors working properly and makes delivery and unloading difficult. We suggest preparing the site before delivery; placing sleepers or concrete blocks down is a good idea.
