Maximising cargo flexibility

Our new and used 40ft Bolster Shipping Containers are specifically designed to handle oversized, heavy and bulky cargo that can’t be accommodated in a typical shipping container. These containers provide a versatile solution for transporting large items such as machinery, construction materials, and industrial equipment.

40ft Bolster Shipping Containers are great for:

Transporting long industrial equipment – Ideal for pipes, steel beams, wind turbine blades, or prefabricated structures that are too long for standard containers.

Mobile pipe & cable rack – Turn it into a mobile rack system to store and transport large coils of cable, industrial piping, or conduit with custom brackets or cradles.

Stackable storage platform – Use to stack large building materials like precast concrete slabs, timber packs, or scaffolding while keeping them off the ground and mobile.

Heavy inventory storage – Perfect for storing and moving heavy inventory while maintaining forklift-accessibility for unloading.

How we deliver 40ft Bolster containers

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.

Steve.D

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.

Some said it was impossible but Lachlan helped me get a 40ft container delivered the next working day, and at the best price I could find after a massive ring around and having to handle some really dodgy dealers. I’m coming back for more!

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.

I purchased 3 new 20ft containers for equine hay storage.
Great communication, best price (of 5 quotes), seamless delivery. Love the single handle door opening too, much easier than my other tradition 2 bar ones. Overall a great experience.
