Modified shipping containers, custom built for NSW sites

We have built modified shipping containers for over a decade, and every unit arrives on your New South Wales site ready for work. Our work across the state covers everything from canteen shipping containers for local sporting clubs on the Central Coast to multi-container fleets for operators like WesTrac in regional mining hubs like Bulga, where crews need fit-outs to work from and store vital equipment on site.

Every build starts as a standard shipping container. Personnel doors, windows, roller shutters, insulation, lining, electrical and plumbing are all fitted in our workshop before the finished unit reaches your site.

FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most about containers and our services

Frequently asked questions

  • We deliver to any site across New South Wales that our transporters can access, along the coast and throughout regional areas. Popular delivery locations include:

    Area not listed? We likely still deliver. Give us a call and we can price up delivery to your area.

  • Our New South Wales stock typically comes through our Punchbowl Shipping Container depot in Sydney, direct from Port Botany. This depot carries the largest range of shipping containers we hold anywhere in Australia, with a variety of New Build and Used options alongside specialised stock for customers looking to get more out of their shipping container.

  • A used 20ft shipping container starts from $2,150* + GST, as of 27 October 2026. That price is Sydney based, and it shifts by region with local supply and the freight to your address.

  • Depending on where you are in regional New South Wales, a different route runs from our Punchbowl depot. We travel the main freight corridors: the M1 and New England Highway north to the Hunter Valley and Tamworth, the Great Western Highway west to Dubbo, and the Hume south to Albury. We also backload shipping containers to popular regional areas to keep delivery rates competitive, then deliver direct to your site.

  • We have modified shipping containers for jobs right across New South Wales, from site offices and workshops for mining operators like WesTrac in regional hubs like Bulga through to bar and canteen fit-outs for sporting clubs in Newcastle and on the Central Coast. Every build arrives ready for work. Email a sketch or description to [email protected] or call our team to price the build.

  • Buying a shipping container online in 2026 is difficult because scammers now use AI-generated content and sophisticated impersonation to create highly convincing fake websites. Protecting your investment requires looking past polished ads and verifying the actual business history and customer experiences.

    • Audit Real Reviews: Check independent platforms like ProductReview.com.au or Google Reviews for consistent, long-term feedback. Container Traders, for example, has an established track record with customers frequently praising specific staff members and reliable delivery.
    • Verify Identity & History: Cross-reference the seller’s ABN and physical yard location on Google Maps to ensure it’s a real facility, not just a virtual office. Scammers often copy the details of legitimate businesses to appear trustworthy.
    • Secure Payment & Contact: Use our phone number 1300 89 89 70 to confirm any quote; legitimate Australian companies will never demand payment via cryptocurrency or untraceable wire transfers.
    • The “Too Good” Rule: If a price for a 20ft container is thousands below market rates, it is almost certainly a scam.

  • Every project is unique, but for most Australian sites, the 20ft Container is the industry standard because it fits in most areas and is the most affordable way to secure high-volume storage.

    • 10ft Containers: 10ft Shipping Containers are the perfect solution for businesses or yards without much space but still want secure reliable storage.
    • 20ft Containers: These typically fit the contents of a 2 to 3 bedroom home and are the most versatile choice for residential driveways or business yards.
    • 40ft Containers: Best for massive storage needs like a 4 to 5 bedroom home or inventory for a business, though we suggest side-opening models if you regularly need to access the shipping containers contents.
    • High Cube Containers: If you are storing bulky machinery or tall pallets, this version provides an extra foot of vertical height to ensure everything clears the door frame comfortably.

    Still unsure which size is right for you? Discuss your project with Container Traders.
