Twice the length for nowhere near twice the price. It's what the cropping country buys — chemical, fittings, spare parts and a bench along one wall — and what any operation storing at scale ends up wishing it had bought first.

A 40ft arrives on a sidelifter, so you want roughly 30 metres of clear working room and ground firm enough to take the legs. On black soil that second part is the whole conversation — see the delivery page before you pick the spot. Guide prices, ex GST.
Guide pricing only, ex GST — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what's in the yard that week. Ring (07) 4516 5999 and we'll give you a real number, not a range.
Guide pricing starts at $2,600 used and $5,500 new, ex GST. Freight depends on your address — a drop in Toowoomba or Oakey is a very different number to Goondiwindi or Tara. Ring (07) 4516 5999 and you'll get one delivered figure rather than a range.
Yes. Ask us and we'll send photos of the actual unit with the serial number visible before it's delivered, and you're welcome to look at it in person by arrangement.
Toowoomba, Dalby, Oakey and Pittsworth are commonly the same week. The western and southern runs out to Miles, Tara and Goondiwindi depend on the truck schedule, and after rain on whether the black soil will carry a loaded truck. We confirm a window when we quote.
Cargo-worthy and new single-trip units are wind and watertight — that's checked before they leave us. As-is units are cheaper and are not sold as watertight, and we'll tell you plainly which grade you're looking at. Watertight means sealed against rain from above; it does not mean sealed against rising water.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. A container is watertight against rain from above, not against floodwater. Once water rises to the door seals it gets in, and then the box holds it. What protects your gear is height — siting the unit above the flood line, up on blocks, on the high point of the block. An empty container is also buoyant and can float in deep water. The genuine advantage is that a container can be lifted and moved to higher ground before a rise, and it gives you dry lockable space while you're putting things back together afterwards.
One call covers grade, availability and freight to your address.
