A 20ft shipping container for sale is still the most common box people ask for — farm storage, site lock-up, tools, or the shell for a cabin later. Through Container Build Group you can enquire about new and used 20ft general purpose containers at current Brisbane depot pricing. We work from 39 Habib Drive, South Lismore NSW. Containers are supplied from our Brisbane depot partner and delivered anywhere in SE Queensland and NSW.

Typical dimensions
ISO 20ft general purpose containers are typically about:
- External length 6.06 m
- External width 2.44 m
- External height 2.59 m (standard) or about 2.89 m for high cube
- Internal volume roughly 33 m³ on a standard GP (order of magnitude — confirm on the unit)
Treat these as typical industry sizes, not a survey of the exact box you will receive. Door opening and internal clearances vary slightly by maker and age.
Condition
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. Tell us what you need the box for — static storage, occasional moves, or a conversion — and we’ll help choose the right unit.
Common uses
- Secure yard or farm storage
- Tools and materials on construction sites
- Overflow for workshops and clubs
- Starting shell for a granny flat / current cabin such as Granny Cabin 40ft or Stingray Cabin 20ft, or a commercial fit-out at our Lismore factory
If the end goal is a liveable or commercial fit-out, say so up front. Buying the right height (standard vs high cube) early saves pain later.
Delivery
Delivery into SE QLD, Gold Coast, Northern Rivers and NSW is quoted separately. Access and unload method matter — send a pin and any site notes with your enquiry.
