FAQs

Container Works are consistently getting high quality new and used stock. Currently in stock we have 20 and 40 foot containers available.

The Container Works team will work with you to ensure you find the right container that best suits your requirements. Our sales team will ask you what you will be using your container for and help point you in the right direction.

Container Works can arrange for your container to be delivered or moved. To ensure a safe and efficient delivery, please advise us of any obstructions (like overhead wires and overhanging branches). This assists us in determining the most appropriate truck and avoids the need for multiple delivery attempts.

Your container will need to be placed on firm and level ground. If you are going to place your container in a paddock, we highly recommend you use blocks to lift the container off the ground as this allows for air flow.

All containers are built from tough/heavy steel. Depending on the container you’re looking to hire/purchase we have containers available with lock boxes.

Council regulations vary so we recommend contacting your local council to find out before purchasing or hiring.

Payment is required prior to delivery or pick up. You will be emailed an invoice which can be paid by credit/direct debit.

Payment for the first 2 months hireage and transport is required prior to delivery or pick up. After this you will be invoiced at the end of each month for the following month.

Contact Container Works once you have finished with your container and we can arrange a collection and advise of transport costs to have the container collected.

Yes. Container Works may buy back the container based on market value and transport costs at the time.

The majority of our containers have a number of air vents to allow for air circulation which helps to eliminate or prevent condensation. However, if your contents stored in the container are damp, or contain moisture, or you take moisture into the container on a rainy day then it is possible for the container to develop condensation issues (this is the exception and doesn’t generally happen).

If you are putting anything susceptible to damage from temperature extremes into your container we recommend that you look at purchasing a container liner to prevent condensation. The liner keeps your container at a consistent temperature preventing condensation and moisture damage (we have liners available). Alternatively you could add a moisture collector into the container to absorb any dampness.

Container Works have a small range of different colour containers available for sale and hire. Additionally you can have your container painted in any colour you would like however this will incur an additional cost.

Yes – Container Works containers are wind and water tight. Unless you choose to purchase a C grade container.

Yes. Please contact your insurance company to explain your needs. Your previous history with that company, the location of your container and the length of time the contents will be stored inside the container will be factors your insurance company considers before issuing a policy.
