Shipping Container Hire in Melbourne

We hire shipping containers from 6ft to 45ft for storage on site, during a renovation or build, or while you are between premises. Containers are delivered from our Tottenham yard across Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate, usually within 3 to 5 days.

We deliver it, you fill it, and we collect it when you are finished. Call 0490 477 000 and we will work out what suits your site and how long you need it.

What people hire containers for

Renovating or building

Somewhere secure and dry to put furniture, tools and materials while the work is going on. Sits on the driveway or the block and comes away when you are done.

Business and site storage

Stock, equipment, tools and records. Cheaper than a storage unit when you need the space on your own site, and you have the key.

Moving or between premises

Pack at your own pace rather than to a truck schedule. Useful when settlement dates do not line up or a lease ends before the next one starts.

How container hire works

Short or long term. Whether you need a container for a few weeks during a build or ongoing storage for years, give us a call and we will work out what suits your situation.

Sizes. From 6ft for garden gear and household overflow, through 10ft and 20ft for trade storage and site use, up to 40ft for bulk storage or a full household. Not sure? Tell us what you are storing and we will suggest a size.

Condition. Hire containers are wind and watertight, with sound doors and seals. They are working containers rather than showroom pieces – expect some surface rust and faded paint.

Security. You hold the keys. The container stays on your site for as long as you need it.

Delivery and site access

Containers are delivered by tilt tray. A tilt tray needs clear straight-line access of roughly twice the length of the container, plus room to bring the truck in and out. Watch for overhead power lines, low branches, narrow gates and soft ground. Where access is tight, a side loader or crane can reach spots a tilt tray cannot.

The ground should be reasonably level and firm – a container carries its weight on its four corner castings, so uneven ground can twist the frame and make the doors hard to open. Timber chocks can be supplied on request, and our drivers can guide you on levelling at the point of delivery.

We hire across metropolitan Melbourne, western Victoria, the north east, the south west and Gippsland. Buying instead? See our containers for sale.
