How we deliver 20ft containers

Container Traders delivers 20ft Shipping Containers Australia wide. Our team works closely with you to choose the best, most cost-effective transport option for your site.

Tilt tray delivery

MOST AFFORDABLE OPTION

Tilt trays are the main delivery method for 10ft and 20ft containers, unloading from the truck’s rear by tilting the tray onto a flat surface.

Hiab delivery

PRECISE DELIVERY OPTION

Hiab trucks feature a crane at the front or rear, enabling precise container placement in hard-to-reach areas.

Side loader delivery

Great for 40ft Containers

A side loader is a semi-trailer equipped with swing lifts at both ends, allowing it to lift containers by their sturdy corner casts.

Flatbed / semi trailer delivery

EFFICIENT DELIVERY

Flatbed trucks are an affordable method of delivery but unloading requires a forklift or crane at the delivery site.
