The small one. It fits behind a Toowoomba workshop on a quarter-acre block, into the corner of a town yard in Dalby where a 20ft can't be swung, or onto a house block in Oakey without eating the whole backyard.

Worth knowing before you ask: a 10ft costs more than a 20ft. They don't come off the ship that size — they're cut down from bigger units and rebuilt, so you're paying for a fabricator's time. If the space allows a 20ft, that's the better buy every time. Guide prices, ex GST.
Guide pricing only, ex GST — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what's in the yard that week. Ring (07) 4516 5999 and we'll give you a real number, not a range.
Guide pricing starts at $4,350 used and $6,400 new, ex GST. Freight depends on your address — a drop in Toowoomba or Oakey is a very different number to Goondiwindi or Tara. Ring (07) 4516 5999 and you'll get one delivered figure rather than a range.
Yes. Ask us and we'll send photos of the actual unit with the serial number visible before it's delivered, and you're welcome to look at it in person by arrangement.
Toowoomba, Dalby, Oakey and Pittsworth are commonly the same week. The western and southern runs out to Miles, Tara and Goondiwindi depend on the truck schedule, and after rain on whether the black soil will carry a loaded truck. We confirm a window when we quote.
Cargo-worthy and new single-trip units are wind and watertight — that's checked before they leave us. As-is units are cheaper and are not sold as watertight, and we'll tell you plainly which grade you're looking at. Watertight means sealed against rain from above; it does not mean sealed against rising water.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. A container is watertight against rain from above, not against floodwater. Once water rises to the door seals it gets in, and then the box holds it. What protects your gear is height — siting the unit above the flood line, up on blocks, on the high point of the block. An empty container is also buoyant and can float in deep water. The genuine advantage is that a container can be lifted and moved to higher ground before a rise, and it gives you dry lockable space while you're putting things back together afterwards.
One call covers grade, availability and freight to your address.
