The one most people end up with, and the one we sell most of between Iluka and Nambucca. Enough room for a tradesman's whole kit and a bench, or a house of furniture while a build drags on, and it arrives on a standard tilt-tray so the delivery stays simple and the cartage stays sensible.
| Used, cargo-worthy grade | from $2,200 |

| Hire | from $27 a week |
Grades matter. Cargo-worthy is the grade we check wind and watertight before it leaves the yard. As-is units are cheaper again and are not sold watertight — they may have a patched repair, a soft floor patch or a door seal that no longer seats, and we will point out exactly what is wrong with one before you buy it. New single-trip units are sealed and unmarked. If a container has to keep rain off what is inside it, buy cargo-worthy or better.
Cargo-worthy used units — checked wind and watertight — start from $2,200 and new single-trip from $3,300. Hire starts from $27 a week if the need has an end date on it. Guide prices, ex GST.
Guide pricing only, ex GST — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what is in the yard that week. Ring (02) 5616 9099 and we will give you a real number rather than a range.
It is the largest container that arrives on a plain tilt-tray, and that single fact decides most purchases here. A 40ft needs a sidelifter and roughly thirty metres of working room with ground firm enough to take the legs. On a river flat after a wet fortnight, or on a sandy coastal block, that is a real constraint. A 20ft goes almost anywhere a delivery truck can get to.
The typical Clarence buyer is a trade or a small business — the mowing contractor at Junction Hill, the boat maintenance outfit at Yamba, the builder working through Maclean — who needs lockable storage that will not be broken into and does not need council approval as a structure. A 20ft with a lock box does that for less than a decent shed and can be sold on later.
The second big group is households. Renovations here have a habit of running long, and rental stock in the valley is tight enough that people often need somewhere to put a house full of furniture for months rather than weeks. A 20ft in the yard beats a storage unit in town on both price and access after about three months.
Guide pricing starts at $2,200 for a cargo-worthy used unit and $3,300 new single-trip, ex GST. Cartage depends on the address — a drop at South Grafton is a different number to a hinterland block behind Bellingen. Ring (02) 5616 9099 and you will get one delivered figure.
Almost always, physically. The question is getting the truck to the spot, not the footprint. Six metres of container needs roughly twenty metres of straight run behind it for a tilt-tray to slide it off. Corner blocks and blocks with a straight drive are easy; a tight side gate with a bend in it usually means a crane.
Every cargo-worthy unit is checked wind and watertight before it leaves the yard — doors sealing, no daylight at the roof line or corners, floor sound. As-is units are cheaper and are not sold as watertight. We will always tell you which grade you are being quoted.
Grafton, South Grafton and the immediate valley are commonly the same week. Coffs, Woolgoolga, Maclean and Yamba depend on the truck run, and hinterland blocks depend on the ground being dry enough to get in. We give you a realistic window when we quote, not an optimistic one.
For a container placed as temporary storage on a property, usually not — but it depends on the council, how long it stays and whether you are altering it. Clarence Valley and City of Coffs Harbour both publish guidance. If it is going to be a permanent structure or a habitable conversion, assume you need to ask them first.
