A physical yard with our name on the gate, stock you can walk around, and a person to answer questions in front of the actual container rather than over a photo.
A lot of container selling in regional New South Wales is a website and a mobile number pointed at a depot in Brisbane or Sydney. The unit you buy is one you have never seen, described by someone who has never seen it either, and the first time anybody looks at it properly is when it comes off the truck at your place.
That is not how this works. The stock is here, on the south side of the river, and if you are anywhere between Iluka and Nambucca you can be standing in front of it inside an hour or so. Buying a container is a few thousand dollars on a thing you will keep for twenty years. It is reasonable to want to see it.
A working spread rather than a fixed catalogue — cargo-worthy 20fts most of the time, 40fts through the yard regularly, new single-trip units in and out, and as-is stock at the cheap end which we will point out the faults on before you ask. High cube and dangerous goods units come in to order more often than they sit in the row, so ring ahead if that is what you want to look at.
Stock genuinely turns over. What is here on a Tuesday is not necessarily here on the Friday, which is the honest reason we do not publish a live inventory page — a stale list is worse than no list.
South Grafton sits on the southern approach to the Clarence crossing, which means you can reach the yard from the highway in either direction without going through the centre of Grafton or over the old bridge. If you are towing or driving something long, that is the whole reason to come to this side of the river rather than the other.
If you are collecting, come with the right vehicle and your own restraints, and tell us the day before so the unit you want is not blocked in behind three others.
1a Reid St, South Grafton NSW 2460. It is on the south side of the river, in the industrial pocket off the highway, and our sign is on it.
Ring (02) 5616 9099 first. It is a working yard rather than a showroom, so a call means someone is there to meet you, open the units you want to see and move a truck out of the way if one is in the road.
Yes, if you have the gear and the vehicle for it. Tell us when you book so the unit is accessible and ready rather than three deep in a row. Bring your own restraints.
Everything worth checking. Open the doors and work the locking bars. Stand inside with the doors shut and look for daylight at the roof line, the corners and the door seals. Walk the floor and feel for soft patches. Look under the door sill where rust starts. If you would like us to walk it with you, ask.
A call means the right units are accessible and someone is there to open them for you.
Or skip the form entirely.
