10ft, 20ft & 40ft Shipping Container Hire

Hiring a shipping container is an affordable alternative to a storage rental or lease. The 20ft is the popular hire size, on flexible terms from three months, with better rates the longer you hire. On the Gold Coast it suits builders needing a site lock up, businesses holding stock through a busy season, and households between homes. Ask our team to compare hire against buying on 1300 89 89 70.

Container delivery across the Gold Coast

We deliver shipping containers across the whole Gold Coast, from the northern estates down to the border. Popular areas include Southport, Nerang, Robina, Coomera and Burleigh Heads. We work with local transporters to get your shipping container to you affordably.

How we deliver to the Gold Coast

Your shipping container starts it journey from a local Brisbane depot. It comes down the M1 Pacific Motorway on one run, direct to your Gold Coast site.

Unsure if your site can fit a shipping container and delivery truck?

A shipping container needs space to sit and room for the delivery truck to get in and unload. Access can be harder on canal blocks at Mermaid Waters and narrow estate streets around Pimpama, and overhead powerlines or soft ground also affect delivery. If you are unsure, call our team on 1300 89 89 70.

Frequently asked by our Gold Coast customers

  • Timing depends on the size and grade you order and what stock we are holding when you book. The Gold Coast runs on a single truck movement rather than a backload, so it is one of the easier areas for us to schedule.

  • Every Gold Coast order is loaded at a local Brisbane depot, then comes down the M1 Pacific Motorway and is unloaded at your address by tilt tray, hi-ab or side loader truck.

  • We deliver right across the Gold Coast to homes, businesses and sites. Popular areas include Southport, Nerang, Coomera, Helensvale, Robina, Burleigh Heads, Currumbin, Ormeau, Yatala and Tugun. If you don’t see your suburb, call 1300 89 89 70.

  • New Shipping Containers generally cost 60-70% more than Used Shipping Containers. However, considering their longer lifespan, lower maintenance needs, and higher resale value, they offer excellent value for money.

  • A 40ft Standard Shipping Container weighs 3,400kg empty (tare) and can carry a maximum load of 27,080kg.

    A 40ft High Cube Shipping Container weighs 3,820kg empty (tare) and can carry a maximum load of 26,580kg.

  • 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.

  • Yes, but used 10ft Shipping Containers are hard to come by in 2026 in Australia. The 10ft isn’t a standard size made at the factory like 20ft and 40ft Shipping Containers. Most are custom-fabricated by cutting a 20ft Shipping Container down and welding on a new end wall, which is why they’re almost always bought new and built to order. They’re usually kept by the original buyer too, so very few come up on the second-hand market.

    That’s why we typically recommend buying a new 10ft Shipping Container, or a used 20ft Shipping Container, which is often better value.

*Shipping Containers Pricing exclude GST and delivery. For current pricing, please contact Container Traders.
