A small shipping container is a cost effective, secure solution for small storage requirements. You can hire a 10 foot self storage space in multiple 10 footers with different access requirements.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions About 8ft Containers in Perth

What makes an 8ft container ideal for secure storage?
8ft containers offer compact yet highly secure storage solutions. Their robust construction and standard security features—including reinforced doors and integrated lock boxes—make them ideal for safely storing valuable equipment, tools, or household items, especially in locations with limited space.

How are 8ft shipping containers delivered around Perth?
We primarily use specialised tilt tray trucks designed for container transport. Tilt tray vehicles allow containers to be delivered safely to almost any site, even those with tight access or uneven terrain, ensuring convenient placement and minimal disruption to your premises.

What is the difference between a standard container and a high cube container?
A high cube container offers extra internal height compared to standard containers—typically an additional 30 centimetres. This extra space is perfect for larger items or when using the container as a mini-workshop, portable office, or secure storage solution requiring shelving or equipment racks.

Can I add extra security to my container?
Yes, additional security measures, such as robust lock boxes, are among our most popular modifications. A lock box is a welded steel housing protecting your padlock from tampering or forced entry, greatly enhancing the security of your stored belongings.

Are these containers suitable for both residential and commercial use?
Absolutely. Our 8ft containers are versatile enough to handle both residential and commercial needs.
