Why Store Your Container With Us?

Shipping containers are the backbone of logistics, but between trips they need somewhere solid to sit. A 20-foot container fully loaded can weigh up to 24 tonnes, and not every piece of land is suitable. We connect container owners with verified yards that have compacted hardstand or concrete, adequate delivery access and the right gate dimensions to handle containers of every standard size.

Whether you are a logistics company parking a stack of 40-footers between port runs or a homeowner using a single 10ft container for a renovation, the search process is the same. Browse real yard photos, compare pricing and check delivery access before you book. No calls to depots, no guessing whether the gate is wide enough.

Container storage in Australia covers a broad range of use cases. Building companies use containers as on-site storage that needs somewhere secure between projects. Importers hold stock in containers while distribution is arranged. Homeowners moving between properties use containers as a short-term alternative to self-storage. All hosts on this platform are identity-verified and listings include the surface type, gate dimensions and access hours.

10ft Containers

Compact and easy to place. Great for personal storage or small business inventory. Fits in most yards and driveways.

20ft Containers

The most common size. About 6 metres long. Most yards can accommodate one or more 20ft containers on hardstand.

Tips for Storing Containers

1

Check the surface

Containers are heavy, especially loaded ones. Make sure the yard has compacted gravel, concrete or solid hardstand to prevent sinking.

2

Confirm delivery access

A tilt-tray truck or crane needs room to manoeuvre. Ask the host about gate width, overhead clearance and turning space before delivery.

3

Ventilate if possible

Shipping containers can get hot and humid. If you’re storing goods that are sensitive to moisture, consider a vented container or using moisture absorbers.

4

Secure the doors

Use a quality lock box and heavy-duty padlock on your container doors. Standard padlocks can be cut in seconds.

Container Storage FAQs

How much does container storage cost?

Rates depend on container size, location and how long you need the spot. A single 20ft container in a regional yard typically costs $30 to $60 per week. Metro and port-adjacent yards run higher. A 40-footer in a busy metro area might be $80 to $120 per week. Browse listings to compare current pricing in your area.

Can you stack containers at the yard?

Some yards allow stacking, but it depends on the host and their equipment. Ask before booking if you plan to stack.

How does the container get delivered?

You arrange your own delivery via tilt-tray truck, crane or side-loader. Make sure the yard has adequate access for the delivery vehicle.

Can I access my container contents?

Yes. Check the yard’s access hours. Many yards offer 24/7 access so you can get to your container when you need to.

Is my container insured while stored?

You’re responsible for insuring your container and its contents. Check your existing policy or arrange storage-specific cover.

Can I use the container as a site office or storage room?

Some yards allow it, depending on the host and local council rules. If you plan to use the container as a site office with power, ventilation or personnel access, tell the host upfront. Standard storage yards may not permit ongoing human occupancy.

Do I need to arrange my own delivery, or does the yard handle it?

In most cases you arrange your own delivery via a tilt-tray truck, crane or side-loader. The yard provides the space. Confirm with the host that their access gate and driveway can handle your delivery vehicle before you book.
