Condition grades explained
We sell new and used containers. If you need a specific grade (cargo-worthy, wind-and-watertight or one-trip), tell us and we’ll match stock.
- New / one-trip style stock — typically the cleanest shell for a long move life or a high-quality conversion. Confirm the exact grade when you enquire.
- Used — the economical choice for static storage and many site uses. Appearance and history vary; we’ll confirm what is available before you pay.
- Special types (reefer, insulated, open top, side opening, flat rack) — buy for the job they are built for, not as a generic store if you only need a locked box.
Delivery — Brisbane depot to SE QLD, Northern Rivers, Gold Coast & NSW
Delivery into south-east Queensland, the Gold Coast, Northern Rivers and broader NSW is available and quoted separately. Access (tilt-tray vs side-loader), site hardness and crane or forklift needs all change the number. Tell us your suburb or GPS pin when you enquire.
Pickup from the Brisbane depot can also be discussed if that suits your transport.
Choosing 20ft vs 40ft vs high cube
- 20ft general purpose — the workhorse for farm, yard and small-site storage. Typical external size about 6.06 m long × 2.44 m wide × 2.59 m high (ISO standard; confirm on the unit).
- 40ft general purpose — roughly double the length (about 12.19 m). Better when you want one lock-up instead of two 20fts.
- High cube — same footprint as the standard length, but about 2.89 m external height. Extra headroom helps storage racking and many conversion plans.
- 10ft — for tight footprints where a 20ft will not fit.
If you are comparing options for a build later, high cube is often the better shell. Talk to us before you buy if a conversion is likely.
Or get it modified
A raw box is only step one for many customers. At our South Lismore factory we design and build:
- Luxury container homes
- Granny flats and current cabin models such as Granny Cabin 40ft, Stingray Cabin 20ft, Big Tiny House, Tenterfield Studio Cabin, Wolverine and Byron Granny Flat
- Modular homes such as Lennox and Blue Tongue
- Commercial offices, bars, amenities and site buildings
Buy the shell through this enquiry, or ask us to supply and modify in one brief. Same contacts either way.
