We offer our 40ft 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.
