Shipping Containers for Sale in Brisbane
Shipping Containers Brisbane has one of South East Queensland’s widest ranges of containers for sale. Whether you need secure storage for your business, a site office for a construction project or a custom build for a cafe or bar, we can supply the right container and deliver it to your door.
All of our containers for sale are inspected before they leave the yard. You can choose brand new (one-trip) units, which look their best and suit fit-outs, or quality used containers that are wind and water tight and offer excellent value for everyday storage.
Types of Containers for Sale
We stock and build a full range of container types, so you only pay for the features you need:
- General purpose containers – the everyday 10, 20 and 40 ft storage and freight container.
- High cube containers – an extra 30 cm of height for tall items and conversions.
- Side opening containers – full-length side doors for fast access.
- Open top containers – crane-load tall and heavy cargo from above.
- Flat rack containers – for vehicles, boats and oversized loads.
- Refrigerated containers and insulated containers – for temperature-sensitive goods.
- Dangerous goods containers – bunded and ventilated for fuels and chemicals.
- Site offices, container cafes and container bars – fitted out and ready to use.
- Container shelters – turn two containers into a large covered work area.
Choosing the Right Containers for Sale
The right size depends on what you are storing and how much room you have on site. A 10 ft container fits tight spaces and suits tools and small equipment. A 20 ft container is the most popular choice for home, farm and business storage. A 40 ft container doubles the floor space for stock, machinery and larger fit-outs.
Think about access too. If you will be loading pallets or bulky items often, a side opening container can save a lot of time. If you need to keep goods cool or dry, look at insulated or refrigerated options. Our team can talk you through the choices and recommend containers for sale that suit your budget.
Why Buy Containers for Sale From Shipping Containers Brisbane
We are a local Brisbane business with our own team, trucks and yard. That means clear pricing, honest advice and fast delivery across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions.
Every container we sell is built to the international standards used for intermodal freight, so it is strong, secure and stackable. We can also modify any unit with extra doors, windows, shelving, lighting, power, insulation and air conditioning.
Delivery and Site Preparation
Before delivery, make sure the ground is firm and level and that the truck has clear access. Most containers for sale are delivered on a tilt-tray or side-loader truck, which needs room to manoeuvre. We will confirm the best delivery method when you book.

Containers for Sale FAQs
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
How much do containers for sale cost?
Price depends on size, condition and any modifications. Used 20 ft containers are the most affordable option, while new, high cube and modified units cost more. Call us or request a quote for current pricing and stock.
Do you deliver containers across South East Queensland?
Yes. We deliver across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, and can arrange transport further afield on request.
Can I modify a container after I buy it?
Absolutely. We can add roller doors, personnel doors, windows, whirly birds, shelving, lining, insulation, power and air conditioning, either before delivery or as a later upgrade.
Do I need council approval for a container?
Rules vary between councils and depend on how long the container stays on site and what it is used for. Check with your local council before placing a container permanently.
New or used – which should I choose?
New containers suit fit-outs and customer-facing uses where appearance matters. Quality used containers are ideal for general storage and offer the best value. Both are wind and water tight and lockable.
Do you deliver outside Brisbane?
Yes. We deliver across South East Queensland and can arrange delivery to regional Queensland and interstate. Ready stock is typically dispatched from our Brisbane yard within 48 hours of order.
