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.

Customer Reviews
“We were very happy with all our dealings with Sam from Container Traders. He was extremely patient and very easy to work with. The container was just as he described. The delivery was very smooth and we were very happy with the whole process!“
Christine S.
“It is a bit of a minefield buying a container. I did my research and the guys at Container Traders Pty Ltd came out on top. Excellent communication, safe payment and my container arrived yesterday. It was seamless! I would highly recommend. Thanks Sam and Lachlan.”
Paula M.
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.

“Great service. Always available to discuss options for the container. Excellent communication about the delivery. Container itself is in great condition (it’s the second I have bought from Container Traders). I recommend the Container Traders team if you’re looking for a legit supplier.”

“Excellent service from Lachlan Wilson on purchasing a 40ft container for storage at our winery. He kept me informed on progress and delivery. Special thanks to the delivery driver who negotiated our steep windy drive and slotted the container in perfectly into a tight space.”
