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.

Container Traders were a great company to deal with, we needed them for an interstate move with a young family and found it an economical and much easier way to move. Lachlan and the truck drivers were very understanding and patient and we felt very looked after. Great communication and fast action.
