The extra height of the high cube makes such a difference. Bought it to store farm equipment and it fits everything we need. Good condition for a used container. Fast delivery to regional Queensland.

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 Bendigo, VIC was arranged quickly and the communication was good throughout. Competitive pricing too.

This 40ft has transformed our property storage situation in Sydney, NSW. It arrived on a tilt-tray and was positioned exactly where we needed it in one go. The condition is very good for a used unit — some surface marks on the exterior but everything structural and functional is excellent. We use it to store equipment and feed for our cattle property. Worth every cent.

Ordered a used 40ft for our warehouse overflow in Mackay, QLD. 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.
