Get a price on a container
Give us the postcode, what is going in it and what the truck has to get past. That is normally enough for a firm number. Every enquiry answered within one business day — you hear back from a person, not an autoresponder. enquiries that land on a weekend are answered the next business day.

Usually faster, and you get somebody who can see what is standing in the yards this week rather than what a price list says should be.

Come and see them
51–55 Bromley Street, Cornubia QLD 4130
Logan corridor, a couple of minutes off the M1, roughly half an hour south-east of the Brisbane CBD and the same again north of the Gold Coast. Ring before you come out so the units you want to walk around are pulled clear.
Before you send it
Four things that turn an enquiry into a price
- The delivery postcode. It decides which yard the unit comes off, and that changes the answer more than anything else on the list.
- What is going inside. Tools, stock, furniture, feed, machinery, a fit-out. It is what settles the grade argument, because dry-and-sealed and cheap-and-solid are different containers.
- How long you want it. A fixed-length job usually points to hire; open-ended usually points to buying.
- Three photographs of the approach. One from the middle of the road looking in, one down the length of the driveway or track, and one of the ground it has to land on.
Those photographs are worth more than any description either of us could write. With them, the truck, the timing and the delivered figure normally come back in a single reply. Without them, the first thing you get back is a request for them, and that costs everyone a day. What the truck needs at your end is set out on the delivery page.
Finding us
Cornubia, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast
51–55 Bromley Street, Cornubia QLD 4130. Come off the M1 at the Logan side and it is a short run in — hardstand, room to walk around the units and somebody to open the doors for you.
Open Mon-Fri 7:30am-5pm, Sat 8am-12pm. Give yourself twenty minutes rather than five; almost everybody rethinks the size once a 20ft and a 40ft are standing next to each other.
Common questions
Getting hold of us
Is the 1300 number right for every state?
Yes. 1300 467 776 is the only number on the site and it reaches the same desk wherever you are ringing from. Nobody gets transferred to a branch to find out what is in stock.
Can I turn up at the yard without ringing?
You can, but you will get more out of the trip if you ring first. Cornubia is a working yard with machinery moving in it, and the unit you have driven over to see may be sitting behind two others. A phone call beforehand means somebody meets you and the containers you care about are standing clear.
Will I get a price on the phone, or does it have to be in writing?
Both work. Ring and you will get a number on the call for anything standard. Send the form and it comes back in writing with the grade, the size and the delivery to your address set out, which is usually what people want if they are comparing or getting it approved by somebody else.
What happens after I send the enquiry?
You hear back from a person, not an autoresponder. Enquiries that land on a weekend are answered the next business day. You get a person reading it, not an automatic reply with a reference number. If the details are enough to price it, you get the price; if something is missing, you get one short question rather than a form to fill in again.
What if I do not know what size or grade I need?
Then say exactly that. Every question on the form has a not-sure option sitting at the bottom of it for this reason. Not knowing which size or which grade the job wants is the commonest point at which people give up halfway through a container enquiry, and it is a two-minute conversation on the phone.
Can you hold a container while I get the site ready?
Within reason, yes. Once a unit is paid for it belongs to you and it can stand here while the pad goes down, the approval comes back or the builder finishes. What cannot happen is a specific container being reserved indefinitely against a maybe, because somebody else will want that one this week.
Do you quote on more than one at a time?
Yes, and it is worth flagging in the first message if you need several, because they may not all be standing in the same yard. Several units going to a single address generally travel better than the same number scattered across three sites, and that is useful to know while the plan is still on paper.
