Welcome To Steel Box Containers
Buying a shipping container is a practical and cost-effective way to create secure storage, additional workspace or a customised structure. This buyer’s guide from Steel Box Containers explains how to compare container sizes, conditions, types, delivery requirements and modification options before making your purchase. Steel Box Containers is the trading name used by Steel Warrick Lindsay, ABN 48 480 648 220.
Steel Box Containers supplies new, used and specialist shipping containers for residential, agricultural, construction, industrial and commercial applications in Australia, subject to current stock and delivery availability. The range may include compact storage containers, 20ft and 40ft units, high-cube containers, refrigerated containers, portable cabins, site offices, workshops and modified container solutions.
The most suitable container size depends on what you plan to store, the space available on your property, delivery access and whether the unit will be used for storage, business operations, construction, farming or a customised conversion.

New and one-trip shipping containers are commonly selected when appearance, condition and long-term service life are important. One-trip units have normally completed a limited initial freight journey and may show minor handling or transport marks. They are commonly selected for business storage, offices, retail units and customised conversions.
Used shipping containers provide an affordable solution for secure storage, farms, construction sites, workshops and equipment. Their stated grade and condition should be reviewed before purchase so the selected unit matches the intended use.
Different shipping container types are designed for different applications. Selecting the correct configuration can provide improved access, additional internal height, temperature control or a more practical layout for your project.
General-purpose shipping containers for tools, stock, machinery, furniture, equipment and commercial storage.
Additional internal height for tall equipment, shelving, machinery and container conversion projects.
Wide side access for loading pallets, bulky materials, machinery, retail stock and oversized equipment.

Customised units with windows, doors, insulation, electrical systems, shelving, partitions and ventilation.
Bespoke container solutions for offices, workshops, retail spaces, leisure facilities and specialist projects.
Before ordering a shipping container, consider where it will be placed and whether the delivery vehicle can access the site safely. Delivery requirements depend on the container size, access road, property layout, ground condition, overhead clearance and unloading method.
Ensure there is sufficient room for the delivery vehicle to enter, turn, reverse and position the container safely.
A stable and level base supports the container correctly and helps the cargo doors open and close smoothly.
Look for trees, powerlines, roofs, gates and other obstacles that could interfere with the unloading process.
Decide exactly where the container should be placed and which direction the doors should face before delivery.
