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.
Grant A. –
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.
