Frequently asked by our Sydney customers

  • We deliver across Greater Sydney to homes, businesses and building sites, with deliveries going out across the city every day. Popular areas include Blacktown, Bankstown, Parramatta, Liverpool, the Sutherland Shire, Campbelltown, Camden, Windsor and the Blue Mountains. Call 1300 89 89 70 if your suburb isn’t listed.

  • Delivering shipping containers in Sydney typically takes place within 7 days of payment received. However, delivery times may vary depending on your location and local stock available.

  • A Standard 20ft Shipping Container is:

    • External: 6,058mm (L) × 2,438mm (W) × 2,591mm (H)
    • Internal: 5,880mm (L) × 2,350mm (W) × 2,385mm (H)

    A 20ft High Cube Shipping Container has the same dimensions but with an extra foot of height:

    • External Height: 2,891mm
    • Internal Height: 2,695mm

  • A 40ft Standard Shipping Container is 12,192mm (L) x 2,438mm (W) x 2,591mm (H) externally, with an internal size of 12,030mm (L) x 2,350mm (W) x 2,390mm (H).

    A 40ft High Cube Shipping Container has the same length and width but around a foot of extra height. For more info on 40ft Shipping Container dimensions, visit our dimensions page.

  • A 20ft Shipping Container suits most 3-bedroom houses, and a 20ft High Cube Shipping Container handles homes with more to move. The High Cube gives you 37.4 cubic metres of internal space and a 32,500kg max weight, enough for most family contents.

  • In 2026, a 20ft standard shipping container in Australia typically falls into an affordable entry-level price range for most buyers. Used 20ft containers generally range from $2,050 – $3,100 + GST, while new (one-trip) 20ft containers usually sit between $3,200 – $3,550 + GST, depending on condition, local stock and delivery to your region.

  • It really depends on what you value more for your project: a clean, long-term asset or a budget-friendly storage solution. Here is how the two grades compare:

    • New Build (Single-Trip): Best for longevity and street appeal. These offer the maximum service life and a professional look, featuring only minor scuffs or faint marks from their initial journey from the factory.
    • Used (Cargo Worthy): Best for utility and cost savings. While these units are roughly 15 years old and show the scars of sea service like rust and dents they come wind and water-tight, vermin-proof, and fully lockable on delivery.

  • 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.
