New and used options are available, ensuring affordability and durability for various storage or transport needs.

How does the shipping container hire process work in Melbourne?

Tell us your needs and we’ll recommend the right container and pricing. Quotes remain valid for 14 days. Once you accept, we email a secure payment setup link and a digital hire agreement for you to review and approve online, then we deliver your container to site. See our hire agreements.

How fast can a shipping container be delivered in Melbourne?

Standard sale and hire containers are typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours, while specialised containers, such as refrigerated, open-top or modified units, may require extra planning and time. Call our team on 07 3888 3751 to confirm a delivery date.

What type of access is required for container delivery in Melbourne?

Tilt trays and super tilts reverse to the drop-off point, so they need clear, open access and a level surface. Crane trucks suit sites with fences, trees or limited access, and side loaders unload on the driver’s side only. See our delivery options.

Can a shipping container be used for residential storage in Melbourne?

Yes. Our containers are used for on site self storage and furniture removals, and customers store items such as home furniture, vehicles and motorcycles, gym equipment and keepsakes. See container hire.

Can you deliver shipping containers outside Melbourne?
