  6. Rated 5 out of 5

    Tom H. – March 26, 2026

    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.

  7. Rated 5 out of 5

    Peter K. – March 26, 2026

    Used these guys for two orders now and both times the service has been great. The 40ft high cube is perfect for what we needed. Solid quality and well priced compared to competitors.

  8. Rated 4 out of 5

    Amanda S. – March 26, 2026

    Reasonable condition as described. Minor surface rust but completely watertight. Good communication from the team and delivery was on schedule. Happy to recommend Cargo Co.

  9. Rated 4 out of 5

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

  10. Rated 5 out of 5

    Brad S. – March 26, 2026

    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.

  11. Rated 5 out of 5

    Grant A. – March 26, 2026

    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.

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.
