  6. Rated 4 out of 5

    Gary P. – March 26, 2026

    Bought the cheap 40ft for extra storage on our building site. Does exactly what we need at a price that made sense. Minor cosmetic wear but structurally perfect. Cargo Co delivered when promised.

  7. Rated 5 out of 5

    Michelle C. – March 26, 2026

    Fantastic value for money. Used it to store tools and equipment on a construction project. The container is sound and secure. Would buy from Cargo Co again without hesitation.

  8. Rated 4 out of 5

    Brad S. – March 26, 2026

    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 Darwin, NT was arranged quickly and the communication was good throughout. Competitive pricing too.

  9. Rated 5 out of 5

    Grant A. – March 26, 2026

    Ordered a used 40ft for our warehouse overflow in Mildura, VIC. 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

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.

Need a Hand?

Not sure which delivery method is right for your site? Contact the Cargo Co team and we will walk you through your options, confirm the freight cost to your postcode and book in a delivery window that suits you.
