Storage container rental can keep furniture, equipment or stock at your premises. Choose a container delivered to your site, or self-storage where you take your goods to a provider's premises. Compare the size, access and total cost for your dates and postcode.
With delivered rental, you arrange a suitable location for the container on your land. With depot self-storage, the container stays at the provider's premises. Decide which arrangement suits your goods and how often you need access before requesting quotes.
A container delivered to you
Your goods stay close to where you use them. Plan the container location, truck access and door opening.
Space at a professional's premises
You bring your goods to a container placed at the centre. Look for a convenient location for your journeys and opening hours.
Rental rates are quoted by the provider for the size, dates and location you need; this page does not publish a verified Australian rental price sample. For a delivered container, give your postcode and site access details. A container purchase price does not describe a monthly storage service.
For delivery to your site, itemise rental, outward and return transport, lifting, positioning and any cleaning or repair charges. For depot storage, itemise the space, access terms, transport of your goods, insurance and any administration charges. Request the total including applicable GST and confirm the minimum charge and notice period.
Prepare my storage rental quoteMeasure the bulkiest items and estimate the packed volume. Keep space to access goods you will need to retrieve during the rental.
33.2 m³Typical internal volume, before storage
For storing furniture, equipment or stock. Keep a walkway if you need to retrieve items regularly.
67.7 m³Typical internal volume, before storage
For a larger need. Check available space and loading organisation along the whole length.
76.3 m³Typical internal volume, before storage
To add height. Check door clearance and the height of items, including packaging and support.
The geometric volume is not fully usable once furniture, packaging and walkways are added. For a compact size, side opening or special dimensions, choose 'Other size' and describe your needs.
| Dimension | 20ft Dry1CC / 22G1 | 40ft Dry1AA / 42G1 | 40ft High Cube1AAA / 45G1 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| External lengthDetermines the footprint and transport size. | 6.058 m | 12.192 m | 12.192 m | ISO 668 |
| External widthIdentical across Series 1, regardless of length. | 2.438 m | 2.438 m | 2.438 m | ISO 668 |
| External heightThe only thing 'High Cube' means: 305 mm more. | 2.591 m | 2.591 m | 2.896 m | ISO 668 |
| Door opening widthCheck the clear door opening against the load and handling equipment; it can be smaller than the internal width. | 2.34 m | 2.34 m | 2.34 m | typical |
| Door opening heightConfirm the clear door height before loading; sufficient internal height alone does not establish that an item will pass through the doors. | 2.292 m | 2.292 m | 2.597 m | typical |
| Internal volumePublished volume for the fleet example, before stowage and securing. | 33.2 m³ | 67.7 m³ | 76.3 m³ | typical |
| Internal floor areaRounded from the reference internal dimensions above. | 13.9 m² | 28.3 m² | 28.3 m² | typical |
Display conversions are rounded; confirm the original specification before fabrication or loading.
Interior dimensions, floor area, volume and openings are typical reference points. Request the specification sheet for the model offered, taking into account any modifications.
Door clearance must be checked with the item, its packaging and handling equipment. For heavy equipment or racking, ask for the allowable load and its distribution on the floor.
Request a total with the same dates, the same size and the same services. Ask for a distinction between included services and additional costs.
Rental charges + return transport + unloading and siting + options and end-of-rental services.
Describe the address, access and location. Ask about billing dates, extension rate and cleaning, repair or site restoration terms.
Rental charges + transport of your goods + optional services and insurance to be confirmed.
Confirm access, minimum billing period, notice period and any admin or exit fees. Also allow for journeys needed during the rental.
Manage the deposit separately: it is a cash advance if refundable, not necessarily a final cost. Check the return conditions.
Show the gate, bends, height obstacles and desired location. Have the vehicle access, handling, supports and door clearance validated by the relevant parties.
Describe goods sensitive to moisture, temperature or dust. The supplier will be able to specify the container features and suitable equipment.
Ask for a clean interior, suitable floor and working doors. On handover, note the condition, seals and any signs of water ingress with the rental company.
A standard container does not guarantee controlled temperature or humidity. Specify winter freezing, summer heat and moisture limits for your goods so that any insulation, heating, ventilation and monitoring can be designed for the actual climate and use. Insulation alone does not maintain a temperature.
Condensation depends mainly on the humidity present and temperature variations. Ask for details on the measures planned for your goods and their monitoring during storage. Ventilation, insulation and moisture absorbers address different situations; no single piece of equipment proves that sensitive goods will be kept in the right conditions.
Tailor the request to the value and nature of the stored goods.
Check that the contract covers your goods and the intended use. A 'secure' mention alone does not specify the insurance cover.
Do not treat an ordinary steel storage container as an approved chemical store. Before booking, disclose fuels, aerosols, gas cylinders or other hazardous goods and check the provider’s restrictions. Give the assessor the product safety data, quantities and proposed handling; a lock and ventilation grilles alone do not establish a safe arrangement.
Assess hazardous products before use: compatibility, leaks, ventilation, ignition sources, fire spread, spill control, emergency procedures and safe access. Review the safety data sheets, applicable state or territory WHS or OHS requirements for labels and worker training, and local dangerous-goods, fire and environmental rules. A standard shipping container is not automatically an approved chemical store. This page establishes no universal storage quantity or separation distance.
A container located in a depot is itself a form of self-storage. To compare with a unit inside a building, look at the practical conditions of use.
Opening hours, parking, distance between vehicle and rented space, any floor level and handling equipment.
Useful dimensions, height, opening, moisture protection and conditions suitable for your goods.
Rent over the planned period, transport of goods, services, insurance, notice period and entry or exit fees.
