FAQ’s

Looking to learn more about 20ft Double Door Shipping Containers? We’ve answered some of the common questions our sales team gets asked.

  • Yes, you can hire a Shipping Container for as long as you need. Alternatively, if you prefer to make a more permanent investment, we also offer the option to purchase a Shipping Container.

  • Delivery is typically quick. Once your agreement is finalised, we’ll allocate your container and arrange for a local contractor to handle the delivery. This usually takes just one or two days, and sometimes even the next day.

  • Standard shipping containers – the minimum hire period is 3 months.

    Specialised shipping containers – the minimum hire period is 9 months.

  • The advantage of hiring a Shipping Container is that it offers a reduced upfront cost compared to purchasing, making it a more budget-friendly option. Additionally, hiring provides flexibility, allowing you to adjust your storage needs as they change. You can easily off-hire the container when it’s no longer required, saving on ongoing costs and offering the convenience to scale up or down as needed.

  • Some of the many benefits of using a double door container include:

    • Increased accessibility: Allows loading and unloading from both ends, improving efficiency and flexibility.
    • Time-saving: Saves time when accessing the container, especially in busy environments.
    • Space-saving: Can be placed in areas with limited access, as either door can be used without repositioning the container.
    • Versatility: Ideal for businesses requiring frequent access or rotating stock.

  • In construction, they’re popular for storing tools, equipment, and materials with quick access on-site.

    Retail and events businesses use them for pop-up shops, mobile displays, or event setups where open access at both ends improves layout and flow.

    Logistics and warehousing companies benefit from the ease of loading and unloading pallets or oversized items from either side.

    They’re also used in manufacturing, agriculture, and even emergency response, where accessibility and speed are critical.

  • While a standard single door container has doors at one end only—making access limited to that side—a double door container opens at both ends, offering far more flexibility.

    You should consider a double door container if you need quicker access to items, plan to store long or bulky goods, or want the option to load and unload from either end. They’re ideal for improving workflow in busy environments, or when storing goods that are frequently moved, whereas single door containers are better suited to long-term storage where regular access isn’t required.

    Wow, where to start. Massive move from Victoria to rural Tasmania and Brady Evans and the entire Container Traders team made the transition seamless. I made many challenging requests and each one was met with professionalism and kindness. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting the job done right with the benefit of dealing with great humans! They certainly won over this discerning middle aged woman!

    I was recommended by a colleague to call Amy at Container Traders to hire some 20 Foot containers. I can see why! Amy made the process so easy from the minute we started speaking to arranging the delivery. Not only did Amy know her Product and Company knowledge backwards, she was very pleasant to work with as nothing was a problem! Can’t recommend them enough – thanks again Amy! Warwick.
