Used shipping containers for sale are a practical way to buy storage: lower entry price than new, with a steel lock-up that does the job. Through Container Build Group you can enquire about Brisbane depot used prices — we coordinate from South Lismore and quote delivery separately into SE QLD, the Northern Rivers, Gold Coast and NSW. Containers are supplied from our Brisbane depot partner and delivered anywhere in SE Queensland and NSW.

Full new + used matrix: shipping containers for sale.
What “used” means here
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. Used covers a range of history and appearance, so ask for photos and the available grade before you pay.
Typical external sizes (industry standard — confirm on unit): 20ft ~6.06 × 2.44 × 2.59 m; 40ft ~12.19 × 2.44 × 2.59 m; high cube height ~2.89 m.
When used is the right call
- You want maximum steel volume per dollar
- The box stays put once delivered
- Surface dents and paint wear are acceptable
- You may later send it to our Lismore factory for a full rebuild anyway
Many of our homes — including current options such as Lennox, Blue Tongue, Big Tiny House and Granny Cabin 40ft — and commercial projects start as working containers. If modification is the plan, tell us early so we pick a sensible shell.
Delivery
Delivery is extra. Northern Rivers and SE QLD are routine quote areas for us.
