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 use container traders regularly on large site jobs to store all our materials and supplies. Great company to work with, container arrives on time, drivers are very skilled at unloading and loading. Can hire for short or long periods, always easy to extend time, only hire company we use for containers. Recently purchased a new container for permanent storage, same great service from them.

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.
