About grades: As-is units are sold as seen and are not sold watertight. Watertight applies to the cargo-worthy / wind-and-watertight (WWT) and new grades only — ask which grade a price refers to.

Asked about the 40ft
Is the 40ft price on this page what I'll pay?
No — it's a guide from Brisbane depot stock: used from $2,600, new from $5,500. What you pay depends on the grade and where it's going. Ring 0418 179 002 for a firm figure with freight in it, GST included.
Can I see the 40ft unit I'm getting?
Yes. Ask, and pictures of that exact container — serial number in shot — come to you before it's delivered. A depot visit can often be arranged too.
When could a 40ft be dropped off?
That turns on which depot is holding your size and grade, and which way the trucks are already running. We check stock while you're on the phone and agree the delivery day with you once the order is in.
Which grade should I choose?
Cargo-worthy or wind-and-watertight used units suit most storage. New single-trip suits conversions and anything on show. As-is units cost less, but they're sold as seen and are not sold watertight.
