20ft Half Height Shipping Containers
Half Height Shipping Containers for sale stand at half the height of a standard 20ft Shipping Container, with a fully open top for loading heavy, dense materials by excavator, front-end loader, or conveyor belt. A removable hard lid locks down for dust containment during transit. The lower profile keeps the centre of gravity low and keeps dense cargo like ore, coal, gravel, and scrap metal within the rail weight limit.
Available in used 20ft grade with full ISO corner castings for stacking, crane lifting, and intermodal transport, Half Height Shipping Containers are widely used across mining, construction, and recycling.

“We needed a 40ft container quickly for my business, Fork Force Australia. Right from my initial contact the entire transaction was seamless and smooth. Nick was in contact almost straight away and made everything run great. They even delivered our container earlier than expected. I would highly recommend these guys.”

Amy was fantastic. She was able to assist with all my questions, and I was very happy with the quoted price. Very fast delivery, they even delivered it from Sydney to Canberra on the same day I paid for it! If you’re lucky enough to get Amy, you won’t be disappointed. Container Traders was by far the best place I tried, unlike the other companies.
