ContainerCo have an experienced team who can help you find the container that best suits your storage or modification needs.

You can arrange your own transport or have our team arrange it for you. The container can be delivered by Hi-Ab/Crane truck or Swinglift truck. We can help you choose the best form of transport.
All council regulations are different, we suggest contacting your local council if you are not sure.
If you are a first time customer and are hiring a container, you will need to make a payment covering fees for the first month, as well as transport to and from your premises (if required). After the first payment, the charges are paid monthly. Purchased containers are paid for prior to delivery. Payments can be made by Credit Card or Online Banking.
We have short and long term leasing options for our containers. The minimum hire period is 30 days. There is no limit to the length you can hire the container for.
Once you are finished with your hired container call our office and we will collect it for you. Please give us as much notice as possible to collect your container.
Did you know that soft furnishings such as sofas, mattresses, couches, etc. contain moisture? If you are storing products that have moisture already present in them, and your container is going to be left untouched for an extended period of time, it is wise to consider using a dry pole which absorbs moisture from the air within the container. Ask your sales rep for details.
Your container must be placed on solid firm ground with clear access for the truck to deliver. If the container is placed in a paddock or grassy area, keeping it off the ground using railway sleepers or blocks is best. Allowing air to circulate under the container will reduce the risk of moisture, rust and subsequent damage to the container.
If you buy a container from us you can take it overseas as long as you purchase one that has a valid Container Safety Convention (CSC) certification to prove it is seaworthy. We can help you with this. Our hire containers cannot be taken outside of the country.

Shipping Container comes in three standard sizes. We stock 10ft containers, 20ft containers and 40ft containers. For more details check Shipping Container Sizes. We also have special shipping containers for projects that are oversized, dangerous goods, or goods that require easy access into the shipping container. Our team also offer shipping container modifications NZ wide, in our main centre workshop.
Our containers are safe, secure and come with optional lock-boxes, but if you do have valuable items, it is best to insure the contents and container. Check with your insurance company for details.
It's possible to get your container painted in most colours. Our most popular colours are brown, green, blue and grey. Most of the paints that we use are water-based and eco-friendly. Keep in mind, though, that the darker colours retain more heat.
