Explore our full range of shipping containers for sale

Rockhampton customers often need more than standard storage. Our specialised range includes Refrigerated, Dangerous Goods and Side Opening Shipping Containers. The beef trade here runs refrigerated stock for cold storage, dangerous goods stock keeps fuels and farm chemicals to code, and side opening doors suit forklift loading in the yards at Gracemere.

Buy a Modified Shipping Container in Rockhampton

We modify shipping containers at Burpengary in Queensland, then deliver direct to Rockhampton built to your spec. We build offices, workshops, switchrooms and one-off jobs, with insulation, electrical, doors and windows fitted before the build leaves.

Around Rockhampton that suits cattle properties wanting a lockable workshop or feed store away from the house, and crews running jobs out to the Central Highlands coalfields where a build has to land ready to use. Tell us the use and we will quote it to your spec.

Frequently asked by our Rockhampton customers

  • Stock comes from our Brisbane depot about 630km south. It travels up the Bruce Highway on a backload and is stored in a local Rockhampton yard. We use a local transporter to then deliver the container direct to your site.

  • Hiring this far out means paying freight twice over about 630km, once to deliver from our Brisbane depot and once to collect. Buying usually works out better value for Rockhampton customers. Ask our team to price both.

  • We deliver across Rockhampton, the Capricorn Coast and out into Central Queensland. Popular areas include Gracemere, Yeppoon, Emu Park, Mount Morgan, Marlborough, Biloela, Moura, Baralaba, Duaringa and Theodore. Call 1300 89 89 70 if your town is not listed.

  • Yes, shipping containers are built to withstand severe rain and hot climates. If you need to keep the inside cool, an Insulated Shipping Container is great for storing temperature sensitive goods. On modified builds we fit out the interior with 50mm EPS insulated panels, AC & whirlybirds to keep your team cool while they work.

  • Shipping Container workshops are good because they are affordable, dry, secure and transportable. They can be custom fitted to how you need them to be set up for your needs and they come in a variety of sizes and dimensions.

  • Yes, we can modify a Shipping Container to suit your specific needs. At Container Traders, we offer a wide range of customisation options, including the installation of doors, windows, insulation, shelving, electrical systems and ventilation. We can also create bespoke modifications for purposes like offices, storage, accommodation units, or even pop-up shops. Our experienced team ensures that all modifications are done to the highest standards, ensuring durability, safety and functionality.

  • 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
  • In a Standard 20ft Shipping Container, avoid storing anything that’s flammable, toxic, reactive, or legally classed as dangerous goods. Those products need compliant storage, ventilation, segregation and spill control, not a general-purpose shipping container.

    For flammable liquids and similar, use a compliant unit like the Container Traders 20ft Side Opening Dangerous Goods Shipping Container (bunded, ventilated, built to suit Class 3 storage requirements)
