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.

Did the job we needed. Bought for storing machinery parts and it’s kept everything dry and secure. Good value.

Used this for on-site storage at our construction yard. Solid, watertight, and the price was very competitive. Will order again.

Really good experience overall. New container arrived in great condition — tight seals, quality paint, solid CSC plate. Only minor thing was a tiny surface scratch on one panel, but honestly for a brand new unit at this price I’m not complaining. Delivery to Perth, WA was smooth and the driver was helpful with positioning. Would order again without hesitation.

Ordered for our industrial site in Bunbury, WA 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.
