Is this container right for your project?
Used standard 40ft shipping container (Dry, ISO 42G1) sold as-is, with condition and watertightness unconfirmed. Assess a written defect report and repair needs before selecting any storage or conversion use; structural, lifting and freight suitability are not established by this grade. Applicable statutory consumer rights remain. Reference size: 12.19 m long, 2.44 m wide, 2.59 m high.
A standard design
Corrugated steel walls, doors at one end and a timber floor. Confirm the actual unit's condition, lifting points and assessed capacity before lifting or stacking it; the original container design does not establish the safety of a damaged or altered unit.
As-is: assess the actual condition
Condition, structural suitability and watertightness are unconfirmed. Obtain a written defect report and assess repairs before choosing a use. The description does not remove applicable statutory consumer rights.
40ft container delivery: access and unloading
Enquire about delivery to Australian states and territories, subject to supplier, route and site confirmation. Coverage, lead time, transport and unloading charges depend on the postcode and site assessment. Request delivered price and confirm the full amount before agreeing to buy. Islands, remote locations and northern communities may require separate transport arrangements.
Allow for a footprint of about 12.19 × 2.44 m, door opening and the proposed vehicle and lifting equipment. Ask the delivery team to assess gate width, turning space, overhead obstructions, ground bearing capacity and outrigger space. Confirm the actual unit weight and lifting points; access and crane reach cannot be approved from container dimensions alone.

Questions about the 40ft used as-is container
What is the price of a 40ft used as-is container?
Quote required for this specification. Request a quotation in AUD including applicable GST, delivery, unloading and any mandatory charges. Availability and the total depend on the proposed unit, postcode and site access. An enquiry does not place an order.
Where do you deliver, and how much does delivery cost?
You can enquire about delivery to Australian states and territories, subject to supplier, route and site confirmation; availability must be confirmed for your postcode. Delivery and unloading costs depend on your postcode, truck access and unloading method. Ask for a written quotation including applicable GST, delivery, unloading and any mandatory charges after access and the planned location have been checked. Tasmania, islands and remote sites may require separate transport arrangements.
What needs to be prepared on site?
Confirm land-use approval and any building permits with the local authority. Agree load-bearing ground, foundations or supports for local soil, wind and drainage conditions, vehicle access and the unloading plan with the supplier and a competent site professional. Mention overhead power lines, narrow gates, slopes and buried services. A generic footprint is not a foundation design or lift plan.
Can I see the container before confirming?
Request recent photos and, where possible, an inspection of the proposed unit before agreeing to buy. For a used container, they show the real condition of the doors, floor and walls.
Cargo-worthy, wind and watertight used or as-is: what's the difference?
Cargo-worthy describes a unit offered for freight use: verify inspection, current CSC examination status and carrier acceptance. WWT describes wind and watertight storage condition, not shipping certification. As-is means condition needs careful assessment; ask for a written report. Applicable consumer rights still apply.
