Shipping & Delivery
Cargo Co 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.

Bought this as a site office base. The one-trip condition is outstanding — basically brand new. The dark green colour is sharp. Very pleased with Cargo Co’s service from quote to delivery.

Absolutely stoked with my new container. Ordered a 20ft from CarGoCo and it arrived right on schedule — tilt-tray delivery to our property outside Canberra, ACT. The paint finish is immaculate, doors seal perfectly, and the floor is solid hardwood. I’ve bought containers before and this is genuinely the best quality I’ve seen at this price point. The sales team answered every question I had without the usual runaround. Will definitely be coming back for a second unit for our farm.

Five stars, no hesitation. We needed a new container for our construction company in Geraldton, WA and CarGoCo delivered exactly what was promised. Brand new, one-trip condition — the original shipping stickers from Korea were still on the door. Structurally perfect, no dents, clean interior. Delivery driver was professional and placed it exactly where we needed. The price beat every other quote I got by a solid margin. Highly recommend.

Ordered for our industrial site in Darwin, NT and couldn’t be happier. New container, locked up tight, no rust, floor is spotless. Delivery was coordinated really well — they called the day before to confirm access and the truck arrived right in the window they gave us. Our site foreman commented it was the cleanest new container he’d seen come through. Great business, great product.
