Built for WA Conditions

Every shipping container is engineered for durability in tough Australian conditions. With steel floors and weatherproof seals, they’re ideal for long-term use and for safely storing goods—dangerous or otherwise. Corten steel construction ensures containers resist corrosion, especially in coastal Australia.

Each shipping container we offer is wind and watertight, vermin-proof, and can be fitted with lockboxes or side access doors. They’re perfect for residential, commercial, or industrial use across Western Australia—whether you want to buy or hire containers for remote construction sites or backyard projects.

We also offer used containers that meet all safety and durability standards. If you need a quick solution, these affordable container units are available immediately. Ask us for a quote that includes delivery and GST so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all new containers actually “new”?
Yes. Our “New Build” and “1 Trip” containers have only been used once – shipped directly to our depot in Australia. Each container meets standard ISO requirements and is available with full documentation and quotes with GST included.

What’s the difference between GP and High Cube containers?
General Purpose (GP) containers are standard height (approx. 2.6m), while High Cube containers are around 2.9m tall. High Cubes offer extra internal space and are often used for taller equipment, conversions, or dangerous goods where airflow and separation are key.

What shipping container delivery options are available?
We deliver across Perth and Western Australia using tilt trays, HIABs, or side loaders. Whether you’re buying or hiring a container, we’ll help choose the best method for your site and provide an accurate quote with all fees, including GST.

Can containers be modified after delivery?
Yes, but it’s typically easier and more cost-effective to complete container modifications before delivery at our Bibra Lake workshop in Australia. We also supply pre-modified container units and can add features for dangerous goods or refrigerated storage use.

Do you offer long-term hire options?
Absolutely. Long-term container hire is available for businesses and individuals across Australia. It’s a great option if you’re unsure whether to buy a shipping container outright, especially for temporary storage of dangerous goods, equipment, or refrigerated items. Hire fees are flexible, and GST-inclusive quotes are available upon request.
