The 20ft High Cube Shipping Container is the most popular choice for Adelaide customers, and most go with a New Build. The extra ceiling height makes it practical for a trade store or workshop, and it still fits a standard suburban driveway. For larger sites in the Adelaide Hills or industrial yards with the space, a 40ft High Cube Shipping Container is the next step up.

Buy a Modified Shipping Container in Adelaide
Container Traders converts standard shipping containers into custom-built workspaces. Lining, insulation, electrical, doors and windows are all fitted before delivery, so the space is ready for work the day it arrives on site.
Every Modified Shipping Container is easily relocatable. When the project moves or wraps up, the workspace goes with it. Electrical fit-outs connect to generators or site power and can be specced to mine spec or any other compliance standard your site requires. Send us the dimensions and what the space needs to do, and we’ll price it. The layouts below are a starting point.
