Hiring length times?
Short-term hire suits events, harvest and peak trading periods, while long-term hire suits ongoing site storage. Ask us about reduced rates for hires over longer time periods.
How much does it cost to hire a container?
It depends on the container type and size, how long you need it and where it is going. Call (08) 9335 6299 or request a quote, and we will give you a fixed price that includes delivery and pick-up.
Can I hire refrigerated containers for an event?
Yes. We hire refrigerated containers for events, catering and hospitality, from a single weekend to a full season. Book early for peak months, e.g. November–February & major holidays.
Can I hire a container and buy it later?
Yes – if you decide to keep it, we can easily organise the permanent purchase of the container.
Do you sell new and second-hand containers?
Yes. We keep new and second-hand dry, refrigerated and insulated containers in our yard.
What sizes are available?
We stock 8-10ft, 20ft, 40ft high cube. Not sure which size you need? Tell us what you are storing, and we will recommend one.
Can I inspect a container before I buy it?

Do you supply offshore containers?
Yes. We supply offshore containers for the marine and resources sectors and perform certifications. Contact us with your load and lifting requirements.
Can you modify purchases?
Yes, whether it a dry or reefer container, we regularly perform additional modifications and additions to our sold stock (at an additional cost). Keep in mind that requested mods push back pickup dates.
What temperatures can a refrigerated container hold?
Our units hold set temperatures from about -25°C to +25°C, so one container can work as a cool room or a freezer. Confirm your product requirements with us, and we will match the right unit
What power supply does a refrigerated container need?
Our refrigerated containers are either 3-phase 415V, 32A or 1-phase, 240V / 15-amp. If there is no suitable power on site, we can advise on generator options.
Can you add lighting, shelving and safety features?
Yes. We fit internal lighting and safety features such as internal safety release, alarm, and can add shelving, ramps, PVC strip curtain] to suit how you work.
What happens if a unit breaks down during my hire?
Call our service line on (08) 9335 6299 and a technician will respond quickly even on weekends.
What kinds of modifications do you do?
We convert containers into electrical switchrooms, modular workspaces and site offices, residential units and cafes, and we add doors, windows, lighting and fit-outs to standard containers.
How long does a modification take?
It honestly depends on the job. You will get a timeline with your quote.
Can I supply my own design?
Yes. Send us your plans, or even a rough sketch with measurements, and we will work through the details with you before quoting.
Will my modified container need council approval?
That depends on how and where it will be used, so check with your local council. We can supply drawings and compliance documents to support your application.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver across the Perth metro and Southwest WA region. Delivery is quoted up front, based on distance and site access.
How is the container delivered?
We can organise delivery by tilt-tray / side-loader / HIAB truck. Let us know about any tight access, overhead power lines or soft ground when you book.
How should I prepare my site?
You need firm, level ground and clear access for the truck. Placing the corners on sleepers or pads helps with drainage and keeps the doors opening smoothly.
Can you collect or relocate a container?
Yes. We pick up hire containers at the end of your hire. However, you must contact us to organise the container pick-up.
After the initial drop-off of the container, it is the responsibility of the client to organise shifting of it’s location.
