How to Buy Shipping Containers in Melbourne

Quality Shipping Containers in Melbourne: What Are Your Options? 

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to buying or hiring a shipping container in Melbourne. Your options include:

Different Sizes

Our shipping containers in Melbourne range from 6ft to 45ft long. Our most popular sizes are 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, but we also stock mini shipping containers at 6ft and 8ft. If you need additional space, our high cube shipping containers offer an extra foot of height.

Container Type 

Our shipping containers for sale in the Melbourne area include reefer containers, insulated containers, office containers, dangerous goods containers and offshore DNV containers. We also offer a range of more unique shipping containers, including flat pack, open top, collapsible, full side access and bar containers.

Age

We have new and used shipping containers for sale in Melbourne. But no matter how old a storage container is, it will always meet our stringent quality standards, including a Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI) report, a Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) report, and wind and watertight (WWT) qualities.

Customisations 

You can purchase your shipping containers with customisations such as shelving units, bunk beds, lighting and more. Let us know what you need and we’ll work with you to find the ideal unit for your needs.

What Questions Should You Ask When Buying a Shipping Container in Melbourne?

It’s important to make sure that your container will meet your needs. With that in mind, ask the supplier these questions:

Does It Come With Quality Reports? 

At a minimum, your supplier should provide you with the Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) report. We’ll also give you your Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI) report.

Is It Wind and Watertight?

Wind and watertight (WWT) qualities are key to protecting your goods. 

What’s the Inspection History? Has It Been Regularly Maintained?

Ask about the last time the container was inspected and whether it met quality standards at the time. At CBOX Containers, we’ll happily provide this information.

Does It Have Security Features? 

Will it come with a locking door to protect against thieves, or will you have to provide the lock? All CBOX Containers’ stock comes with a lockbox, plus we sell additional locks as required.

Do You Deliver Shipping Containers to Melbourne? 

And if so, how much will that delivery cost you? And how long will it take? Delivery rates and times will depend on the shipping containers you’re purchasing. However, thanks to our depots, we can offer quick and affordable delivery.

Do You Offer a Price Match Guarantee?

You want to know that you’re receiving value for money. A price match guarantee like the one we offer at CBOX Containers will ensure that you’re not paying over the odds.
