10ft Shipping Containers
Side access is pinched, the setback leaves nothing to manoeuvre in, or all that is needed is a lockable spot for the mower, an air compressor and a wall of hand tools.

Dangerous Goods Shipping Containers
Storage built from the outset for flammable liquids and other dangerous goods — a bunded floor, ventilation high and low, internal shelving, and the compliance plate a workplace inspector will want to read.

The short version
Why people order this one
- Bunded sump floor sized to hold a spill inside the container instead of on your ground
- Engineered ventilation high and low, hazard placarding and a compliance plate
- Built and certified to the Australian Standard covering the class being stored
- Available in 10ft and 20ft, to buy or to hire
- Not a general purpose box with a label stuck on it — a DG unit differs from the floor up
A dangerous goods unit is a different container, not a modified one. The floor is a sealed bund sized to retain a proportion of what is stored should a drum split, the ventilation is designed rather than incidental, the fit-out inside is non-sparking, and a plate on the unit states exactly what it was constructed to. That plate is the document an inspector or an insurer asks to see.
Which standard applies comes down to what is going inside it. Flammable liquids, corrosives, oxidising agents and toxics each carry their own requirements, and a unit certified for one class is not automatically acceptable for another. Give us the class and the volume ahead of anything else — those two facts choose the container.
Nearly everybody enquiring about one already has a compliance date behind them. Mention it when you ring. DG units are more often built to order than found standing in a yard, and lead times run longer than a plain container, so the deadline shapes the answer as much as the specification does.

Lengths
Available as
20ft Shipping Containers
There is about seven metres of straight, reasonably level ground for it to sit on, and you would rather not discover in half a year that the bigger box was the answer.
40ft Shipping Containers
You have the space, the approach is genuinely open, and the aim is the largest amount of storage per dollar spent that anybody sells.
Other configurations
Something else in the range
General Purpose Shipping Containers
The plain box, and the right call about eight times out of ten.
High Cube Shipping Containers
Identical footprint to a standard container with another foot of height on top — 2.
Side Opening Shipping Containers
A container with doors running the full length of one side on top of the usual pair at the end.
Refrigerated Shipping Containers
Reefers — insulated panels all round, a stainless or aluminium interior, a T-bar deck for airflow, and an integral refrigeration unit built into one end.
Questions
Dangerous Goods containers, answered
What is a dangerous goods shipping container?
Storage built from the outset for flammable liquids and other dangerous goods — a bunded floor, ventilation high and low, internal shelving, and the compliance plate a workplace inspector will want to read.
What lengths do dangerous goods containers come in?
Dangerous goods units are built rather than found, and they turn up most often as 10ft and 20ft. What is achievable depends on what is on the production run and on whether anything finished is standing anywhere in the network. Tell us the class going inside it and the volume, and you get an answer on both the specification and the lead time in the same conversation.
Is a dangerous goods container watertight?
Grade settles that, not configuration. Cargo-worthy stock is inspected wind and watertight before it is released, and new single-trip units are sealed as well. As-is carries no watertight claim at all — it is priced on its faults, and those faults get described plainly and photographed on request rather than left to turn up with the truck. If whatever goes inside has to stay dry, start at cargo-worthy and do not drop below it.
Does a dangerous goods container cost much more than a plain one?
It depends which one is being asked about. A high cube sits only a little above the standard version of the same length. Side opening, refrigerated and dangerous goods units are different containers rather than modified ones — heavier, more complicated, and made in far smaller numbers — so they are priced accordingly. Describe what the container has to do and the realistic options get costed next to each other instead of the dearest one being pushed at you.
Can I hire a dangerous goods container?
Yes, across most of the range and into every state we deliver to. Hire makes sense where the container has an end date on it and buying makes sense where it does not, and the crossover between the two arrives sooner than people expect it to. Give us the period and the delivery postcode and it gets priced both ways in the one reply.
