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.
