Condition and inspection
These containers have been in shipping service. Before delivery, each one is inspected, checked for leaks and cleaned. It is wind and watertight (WWT inspected) and fully fit for use.
Expect the normal signs of a used container, such as scratches, dents, colour variation, patch repairs and light surface rust. Doors, seals and locking bars are checked to make sure they work. The year of manufacture depends on availability, and we can confirm it before you buy.

Custom solutionsDelivery
Delivery is coordinated Australia-wide from the Port Macquarie. Processing takes 1–3 business days; delivery is typically 4–7 business days after processing. The standard charge is $745 per unit (incl. GST) within our standard service area and is shown at checkout once you enter your postcode. Remote, restricted-access, multi-unit and oversize deliveries are confirmed by quotation.
Tilt tray: A straight run behind the placement point (typically about 2.5× the container length plus the truck), firm level ground and clear overhead height. The most common option for 6ft–20ft units: the tray tilts and the container slides off onto the ground.
Side loader: Clear space along one side of the truck for the stabiliser legs and the two lifting cranes, and room to park parallel to the drop. Lifts the container off the chassis and sets it down beside the vehicle; the usual choice for 20ft and 40ft units.
Hiab / crane truck: Firm ground for the outriggers and a placement point within the crane's reach. Suits sites where the unit has to go over a fence or into a corner a tilt tray cannot reach; reach depends on the crane model and the unit weight.
Illustrative only. Figures are typical; we confirm the vehicle and access with you before dispatch.
Site access
Before delivery, check for a firm, level placement area, clear truck access and turning room, gate width, overhead power lines and trees, and soft ground after rain. A tilt tray typically needs a straight run behind the placement point; side loaders need clear space along one side. Our team confirms the right vehicle with you before dispatch.
Warranty
Pre-owned units carry a 6 months limited voluntary warranty from delivery covering structural integrity and weather tightness, excluding disclosed cosmetic wear. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by this warranty. Warranty policy · Returns
