We offer our 40ft side opening containers in both brand-new or single used and a full range of second-hand grades, so you can choose the option that best suits your needs and budget.
- New (Single-Trip): These containers have made just one journey to Australia and are in near-pristine condition—ideal for modifications, long-term use, or when appearance matters most.
- Premium Used (A-Grade): Ex-rental units from our own fleet, typically under 10 years old, clean, wind and watertight—perfect for furniture, archives, or dry storage.
- Standard Used (B-Grade): With minor cosmetic wear, these are still structurally sound and watertight—great for tools, vehicles, or general storage.
- Economy Used (C-Grade): Best for farm use or budget-conscious buyers, these containers may show rust or dents and are suited for non-sensitive items.
You can explore our full grading system here to understand what each grade offers and how to make the right choice for your project.

The head office staff were also very easy to deal with, organised delivery quickly and were very helpful. I would definitely use this firm again.
