20ft & 40ft Double Door Shipping Container hire

A Double Door Shipping Container for hire opens from both ends, so you stop wasting time digging through to the back. The 20ft Double Door handles most setups where access matters more than volume. The 40ft High Cube gives you the length to store bulkier gear or split the container into two separate zones. Minimum hire is 9 months, with delivery and collection sorted by our team.

Double Door Container hire, backed by an Australian team

When you hire a double door container from Container Traders, you’re working with an Australian-based team from quote to collection. Quotes come back within 48 hours, and delivery is typically under a week once confirmed. Upfront you’ll pay delivery freight, collection freight, and your first month’s rental. We’ve been hiring containers to thousands of Australians since 2016, and most of our work still comes from repeat customers and referrals.

Frequently asked questions

  • That is not an issue at all. You are welcome to hire your shipping container for as long as you need it.

    If you decide to keep it for a long period, just let the Container Traders team know.

  • Double door containers from Container Traders offer the same heavy-duty security as a Standard Container. They are built with robust Corten steel and are wind and water tight. Lock boxes can be added on both doors for added security.

  • For our standard shipping container range, the minimum hire period is 3 months, while specialised units require a minimum commitment of 9 months. We recommend hiring for at least these durations to ensure the total cost remains economical once you’ve accounted for the initial delivery and collection fees.

  • How much can a rental 10ft shipping container hold?

    A 10ft container is a great compact choice for a one-bedroom apartment or about 4 standard unstacked pallets of business stock. It fits easily into a single car space, making it perfect for tight residential driveways or small-scale commercial sites.

    How much can a rental 20ft shipping container hold?

    The 20ft container provides enough room for a 2–3 bedroom home or approximately 10 standard pallets of inventory. It’s a reliable medium-sized storage solution for both personal relocations and warehouse overflow.

    How much can a rental 40ft shipping container hold?

    For major projects, the 40ft container offers double the volume, comfortably holding a large 4-bedroom home or up to 21 standard pallets of commercial goods. It is the best option for high-volume industrial storage or total home moves where everything needs to fit in one secure unit.

  • A Double Door Shipping Container (tunnel container) features double doors on both ends rather than just one. This design is perfect for drive-through loading and easier inventory access. At Container Traders, we offer a large range of 20ft and 40ft sizes.

  • Standard Shipping Containers only open from one end, but you can upgrade to a Double Door Shipping Container to get doors on both ends. If you need even more access than that, our Side Opening Containers are a great way to open up the entire side of the container for easier loading and unloading.

  • Hiring with Container Traders is designed to be as easy and stress-free as possible, providing convenience that traditional storage can’t match. We focus on quick project turnarounds and reliable nationwide delivery, ensuring your container arrives exactly when and where you need it across Australia.

    One of the biggest perks for our customers is that we handle all the logistics. Your payments are automated each month, and when you’re done with the unit, we simply come and collect it from your site. Unlike off-site rental storage, hiring a container gives you the ultimate convenience of having your gear securely stored right on your own property with 24/7 access.
