Types of Shipping Containers We Offer

ABC Containers offers one of the widest ranges of shipping containers for sale and hire in Australia. Our stock includes new and used shipping containers, from standard to dangerous goods and high cube options, available in a variety of sizes and conditions to suit virtually every application. Here’s a breakdown of the key shipping container types we offer:
Standard ISO Containers
These general-purpose standard ISO shipping containers are ideal for basic storage or transport needs. Built to international standards, they are waterproof, windproof, and suitable for most goods.
High Cube Containers
With an extra foot of internal height, these high cube shipping containers offer more volume without a larger footprint. High cube containers are ideal for tall equipment, pallet racking, or modified applications like accommodation or site offices.
Side Opening Containers
These containers feature dual side doors that open along the full length, offering flexible loading options. This container is great for construction sites, workshops, and pallet access.
Refrigerated Containers
Also known as reefers, these insulated containers maintain controlled temperatures for goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
Dangerous Goods Containers
Compliant with Australian safety regulations, these dangerous goods containers are built for hazardous materials and include features like bunded floors, vents, and lockable doors.
Insulated Containers
Designed to reduce heat transfer without using mechanical cooling, insulated containers are ideal for electronics, wine storage, or self-storage in variable climates.
Modified Containers
We build custom container solutions, including portable buildings, site offices, workshops, first aid rooms, crib rooms, and more.
Bulk Containers and Flat Racks
For heavy-duty applications like grain, sand, and machinery, we offer open-top containers, flat racks, and bulk container transport options.
