The 20ft shipping container is our most popular size for Cairns customers. It strikes a great balance between storage capacity and footprint, making it suitable for residential properties, farms, building sites and small businesses. For larger commercial or mining applications, the 40ft container is often preferred. If space is limited, our 10ft containers are a compact solution that still provides substantial storage.
New (one-trip) containers are in near-perfect condition, having only made a single sea voyage. They offer the best appearance and longest lifespan, making them ideal for commercial applications or container modifications. Used containers are more affordable and still provide excellent structural integrity and watertight storage. All our used shipping containers for sale in Cairns are inspected and graded so you know exactly what you're getting.
We often deliver shipping containers within 24 hours to the Cairns region, subject to stock availability and your exact delivery location. For standard Cairns metropolitan deliveries, turnaround is typically very fast. Remote FNQ locations may require additional lead time.
