6ft Shipping Container
6 foot shipping containers offer 5 cubic meters of space and are the smallest we have on hand. Their lighter weight compared to standard sized containers makes them easier to transport not only with a forklift, but within an 8ft or larger container. These containers are ideal for usage in space restricted areas such as in residential sheds for secure, safe storage of equipment or valuables. 6 footers can be modified to include shelving or extra security.

Why Choose a 6ft Shipping Container in Perth?
Our 6ft shipping containers for sale or hire in Perth offer compact yet secure storage solutions, perfect for residential spaces, small business properties, or construction sites. Thanks to their modest external dimensions (1.83m length x 1.55m width x 1.90m height), these containers conveniently fit where larger units like high cube containers cannot, providing efficient, secure storage for your valuables and goods. Ideal for locations requiring extra security, these containers can be fitted with a robust lock box depending on your specific needs.
You can buy or hire new or used 6ft containers to match both your budget and your project’s timeline. We maintain a wide variety of container types, including standard and high cube units. Whether you’re storing household goods or equipment for sales, we have the container solution for you.
Best Situations for Using a 6ft Shipping Container
A 6ft shipping container is often the preferred option when space efficiency and flexibility are more important than raw storage volume. Because of their compact footprint, these containers are particularly well suited to environments where access, placement, or visual impact needs to be carefully managed.
They are commonly chosen for:
- Residential properties where larger containers would dominate the space
- Temporary storage during renovations or short-term projects
- Secure storage on sites with limited access or weight restrictions
- Applications where containers may need to be relocated frequently
In situations where a standard 20ft or 10ft container would be excessive, a 6ft container provides a practical alternative that still delivers the strength, security, and durability associated with full-size shipping containers. This makes them a smart option for customers seeking a balance between usability and minimal site impact.

Advantage / Uses
They are often used on residential premises as storage for garden tools or equipment, small portable workshops or secure storage of valuable sporting equipment for sporting clubs at sporting ovals / facilities. They are also ideal as a small storage option at construction sites or other premises where space restrictions apply.
The obvious advantage of mini containers is that they are highly portable, you can shift them with a standard forklift and transport them within empty, bigger containers. When purchasing small containers in bulk this ‘Babushka effect’ can save you on delivery costs as we can load multiple small containers inside one another and deliver them as a single unit which can then be unpacked and used as multiple small storage solutions. To further save space at your site, the 6, 8 and 10 footers can be stacked on top of other containers.
Modifications
Small shipping containers can be modified to include shelving for categorized storage, a roller door for easy access or with a lock box for extra security depending on your specific requirements. They can also be modified to include windows, personnel doors, air conditioning and insulation for solutions such as mobile security boxes, ticket booths or mini workshops.
Common modifications include: Insulation | Access Doors | Equipment Racks | Shelving / Workbenches | Lighting & Power Points | Custom Painting | Ventilation | Lock Boxes
