What could it suit?
A 40ft container can suit a larger volume of business stock or household storage. Think about how you will reach items at the far end; a floor plan can be more useful than the cubic capacity alone.
Before choosing this size
The long footprint makes site layout and delivery planning especially important. Check the approach and unloading area with the transport team before committing to a position.
Compare all three sizes and confirm the measurements of the actual container before ordering.
New or used?
New single-trip containers have made a shipping journey and can have handling marks. Cargo-worthy used containers have worked at sea and can have dents, repairs and surface rust. Ask about the actual unit, its doors, floor and weatherproof condition. As-is containers are not sold watertight.
Buying, hiring and delivery
Ask for the container, its condition, delivery charge and GST treatment in writing. Size, condition, availability, distance and the delivery vehicle affect the total. Let us know your suburb and preferred timing so the quote reflects your job.
The container footprint is only part of the picture. The truck needs a suitable approach, room to turn and room to unload. Send photos of the road, gate, driveway and placement area. Flag slopes, soft ground, branches and overhead services so the transport team can assess the job.
