Really happy with this purchase. The container was exactly as described — a few dents here and there but totally functional. Great price for a used unit. Highly recommend Containers Direct!

Daniel R. – March 26, 2026

Good value container. Had some surface rust on the outside which was expected for a used unit, but it’s solid and bone dry inside. The customer service team was very helpful when I had questions.
Rated 4 out of 5

Grant A. – March 26, 2026

Solid unit. The condition was exactly as described by the team — winds, scuffs on the outside, but structurally sound and fully watertight. For the price of a used unit I was not expecting new condition and I got exactly what was promised. Delivery driver to our property near Newcastle, NSW was fantastic, very patient getting it into the spot we needed. CarGoCo seem like good honest operators.

Brad S. – March 26, 2026

Fantastic value. Picked up a used 20ft for our hobby farm in Shepparton, VIC and it’s in brilliant condition for the price. Some minor surface scuffs on the exterior which is totally expected for a used unit, but the floor is solid, roof is watertight, and the doors open and close smoothly. CarGoCo were upfront about the cosmetic condition before purchase which I appreciated. Delivery was spot-on — container is now storing all our equipment and feed perfectly.

Shipping & Delivery

Containers Direct 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.
