Great 40ft high cube. Excellent height for our inventory – much more practical than standard height. Good value and delivery was smooth.

Grant A. – March 26, 2026

This 40ft has transformed our property storage situation in Wagga Wagga, NSW. It arrived on a tilt-tray and was positioned exactly where we needed it in one go. The condition is very good for a used unit — some surface marks on the exterior but everything structural and functional is excellent. We use it to store equipment and feed for our cattle property. Worth every cent.

Good experience from order to delivery. The used 40ft arrived in solid condition — tight seals, clean floor, working lock boxes. There’s a small dent on one panel which was mentioned in the product description so no surprises. Delivery to our site in Adelaide, SA was arranged quickly and the communication was good throughout. Competitive pricing too.

Brad S. – March 26, 2026

Ordered a used 40ft for our warehouse overflow in Gold Coast, QLD. Genuinely impressed — the unit is solid, the doors close flush and lock properly, and the floor has no soft spots. The interior is dry and clean, perfect for pallet storage. Delivery via sideloader was prompt and the driver was experienced with tight industrial yard access. Best price I could find in Australia for a 40ft in this condition.

Shipping & Delivery

Australia Wide Container delivers shipping containers Australia-wide, with fast dispatch from our nearest depot to your site. We offer two professional delivery methods and can help you choose the right one for your access and ground conditions.

Tilt-Bed Truck Delivery (Recommended)

Our tilt-bed (roll-off) trucks place your container gently onto the ground without the need for a crane or forklift. This is the most cost-effective option for residential, commercial and rural sites with reasonable straight-line access.

Site access requirements for tilt-bed delivery:

Minimum 20 m (≈65 ft) of straight clearance for the truck to reverse and tilt
3.6 m (≈12 ft) of width clearance
4.9 m (≈16 ft) of vertical clearance — watch for tree branches, power lines and awnings
Firm, level ground capable of supporting the container and truck weight

Flatbed Truck Delivery

If your site has limited access, sloped ground or you need the container placed in a tight spot, we can dispatch the container on a flatbed truck. You will need to arrange a crane or forklift on site to unload.

Site access requirements for flatbed delivery:

Minimum 20 m (≈65 ft) of straight clearance
3.6 m (≈12 ft) of width clearance
4.3 m (≈14 ft) of vertical clearance
Side access required for the lifting equipment
Forklift must be rated to at least 4,500 kg (≈10,000 lbs) for a 20ft container

Site Preparation Checklist

To ensure a smooth delivery, please confirm the following before your scheduled drop-off:

Clear, unobstructed access for a semi-trailer
No overhead obstacles — trees, power lines, eaves or signage
Firm, level ground — gravel, compacted earth, concrete or pavers all work well
Let us know in advance if conditions are wet, soft or muddy so we can plan accordingly

Delivery Timeframes

Order delivery is typically completed within 10–30 days from the date your order is confirmed, depending on your location and depot stock availability. Remote and regional deliveries may sit at the longer end of this window — our team will confirm an exact ETA when your order is booked in.
