Engineered For QualityDelivered With Integrity
Shipping Solutions PTY supplies certified new and used containers to builders, farmers, miners, councils and households right across Australia — backed by honest grading and delivery you can plan around.
Customer Focus
Every site is different. We ask what you are storing and how a truck gets in, then tell you what actually fits — including when a smaller box is the better buy.
Modification
Personnel doors, windows, vents, insulation, shelving and power. We turn standard steel into site offices, workshops and cool rooms built for Australian conditions.
Integrity
Grades are described the way the industry defines them. If a unit is Wind & Water Tight rather than Cargo Worthy, that is what the listing says.
National Reach
Metro and regional, from Cairns to Perth. Same inspection standard, same clear delivery quote, wherever the container is going.

Sizes, grades, delivery and site prep — the things worth knowing before you order.
Shipping Solutions PTY sells steel shipping containers into every state and territory. Whether you are storing tools on a job site, fitting out a farm shed, running a cool room or converting a box into an office, the goal is the same: get the right unit onto your site without surprises. Every container is inspected before dispatch, and current stock is listed in the full container shop.
Alongside standard boxes we carry container cabins and site offices, refrigerated reefers and modified units.
Which Size Fits Your Site
For most buyers the size decision is set by the ground and the access, not the cargo. Measure your approach and your pad before you shop, because a tilt-tray needs a straight run to reverse in and slide the container off.
| Size | External length | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 10ft | 2.99 m | Tight blocks, backyards and small sites. Easy to reposition later. |
| 20ft | 6.06 m | The workhorse. Fits a standard driveway and swallows a household or a crew’s tools. |
| 30ft | 9.14 m | An in-between length for sites a 40ft cannot turn into. Uncommon stock. |
| 40ft | 12.19 m | Bulk storage, long materials, and the usual starting point for larger conversions. |
| High cube | +0.30 m height | Worth it if you plan to insulate, line, or run pallet racking inside. |
New, Used And Refurbished
New and one-trip units were built recently and shipped once with cargo before sale. Clean paint, tight seals, straight walls — the right choice when the container will be visible on a property or cut and modified. Used units come out of the shipping fleet in two grades: Wind & Water Tight keeps weather out but shows dents, surface rust and patch paint, while Cargo Worthy is a higher bar still certified fit to carry freight. For static storage, wind and watertight is usually enough and costs less. Read the full breakdown in our container grades guide.
How Ordering And Delivery Work
Ordering is straightforward. Delivery is a flat $350 to any address in Australia — shown at checkout, the same whether you are in metro Sydney or regional Queensland — and payment is by direct bank transfer. Delivery takes 7–10 days from order. A tilt-tray places the container where you need it, so clear a level, firm, well-drained spot and keep the approach open. There is a 30-day returns policy; return freight and a restocking fee may apply. If this is your first container, the buyers guide walks through grades, access requirements and site prep in plain language.
