Shipping Containers Melbourne

Shipping Containers Melbourne – New and Used

Looking for shipping containers in Melbourne? We keep new one-trip and used B grade containers for Melbourne customers in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, plus high cube and side opening options. Every container we sell is wind and water tight with working doors.

Our Sunshine yard sits in Melbourne’s west with easy access to the Western Ring Road, so we can get containers out quickly across the city.

Choosing the right container in Melbourne

Most Melbourne buyers end up with one of three options. A 20ft shipping container is the all-rounder – it fits most driveways and holds the contents of a three-bedroom house. A 40ft container gives you twice the floor space for not much more money, and it’s the pick for farms, builders and businesses. If space is tight, a 10ft container squeezes into spots nothing else will.

On a budget? A used shipping container is still wind and water tight and costs less. Need full-width access? Go for a side opening container. Storing tall gear? A high cube gives you an extra 30cm of height.

Buying shipping containers in Melbourne

When you compare shipping containers Melbourne suppliers offer, look past the sticker price. Ask what condition the container is in, whether a lock box is included, how it will be delivered and what the freight costs to your postcode. We put all of that in writing before you pay.

Our shipping containers Melbourne customers buy most are new 20ft boxes for home and business storage, used 40ft containers for farms and building sites, and high cubes for workshops and conversions.

Planning to keep your container long term? Check the rules for your block on the Victorian planning website or call your local council. Most of the shipping containers Melbourne customers buy for temporary storage need no approval at all.

Local tip for Melbourne

Melbourne’s cold nights and damp winters can cause condensation inside a container. Vents help, and a layer of insulation makes a big difference if you’re turning it into a workshop or office. Sit it on sleepers so water can drain away underneath.

What Melbourne customers use containers for

• Secure storage on building sites and in commercial yards
• Farm and rural storage for machinery, feed and chemicals
• Extra space at home during renovations or a move
• Workshops, site offices and lunch rooms
• Container homes, granny flats and container pools

We deliver containers across Melbourne on tilt trays and side loaders. Tilt trays need a clear, straight run and firm ground; side loaders need room alongside the truck. If you’re not sure your site will work, send us a few photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
