Why Choose a 10ft Shipping Container?
Compact storage with site-specific delivery

Compact footprint — useful where a larger container will not fit, subject to delivery access.
Versatile uses — suitable for many residential, trade, construction and business storage needs.
Steel construction — appearance and condition vary by grade and individual unit.
Security options — locking arrangements and optional lockboxes should be confirmed for the quoted unit.

Age, appearance, dents, corrosion and previous repairs vary between individual units. Ask to inspect the quoted container or request current photos before purchase. Any proposed modification is assessed against the container’s condition and the intended use.

10ft Container Delivery & Transport Across Sydney & NSW
Delivery is assessed for your site
We deliver 10ft containers across NSW, subject to stock, route, site access and suitable truck availability. Hire is generally offered within approximately 200 km of Wollongong.
Before quoting delivery, we assess: the landing position, access width and height, clear approach space, overhead power lines, ground conditions and suitable truck parking and manoeuvring space.
Typical access guide: a tilt tray needs at least 6 m height, 2.8 m width (more is preferred) and approximately 18–20 m clear in front of the landing point. A Hiab needs similar width, no overhead power lines and suitable truck parking and manoeuvring space. A side loader needs approximately 3.5 m width, 35 m length, 7 m height and clear space beside the truck.
Free site inspections are available within the Illawarra when access needs to be checked.
Tilt Tray Delivery
The ideal option for sites with easy access, allowing for seamless unloading by tilting the tray so the container slides smoothly into place.
Hiab Crane Delivery
Need a container delivered over obstacles or into hard-to-reach areas? Our crane-equipped trucks ensure smooth placement where other methods won’t work.
