8ft to 10ft Mini Shipping Containers
These compact shipping containers are a great solution for secure home, office or factory storage. With 8ft to 10ft options, they are perfect for keeping equipment or precious belongings safe. The strength and weather resistance of these smaller containers makes them ideal for home or workshop storage or shelter, as well as for cargo transport.
We can also provide a lock box, or enhance containers with a variety of modifications, from air conditioning to windows and ventilation.
As one of Australia’s largest providers of shipping containers, we offer well priced standard 8 to 10 foot (and high cube variations for extra capacity) containers.

We sell mini shipping containers.
We sell both new and used containers, with different grade options available.
New grade containers are safety inspected and carry valid CSC certificates, which is a requirement for international shipping.
If you wish to save cost for less serious applications, you can opt for a B or C grade container. B grade containers are still watertight and windtight.
