Cargo & Freight Containers &/or Services

Cargo is the specific load that is carried by a vessel in a container. Freight can also mean the load that a ship is carrying or that is stored in containers. Types of containers range from steel containers, refrigerated containers, and insulated containers.

Cargo container services are able to supply new and used shipping containers for sale or hire, on both long and short term basis throughout Australia. The range of shipping containers available can include general storage containers, refrigerated shipping containers, dangerous goods containers and self-pack removal containers.

Shipping Containers can be delivered in several ways. The most cost effective way is to use an onsite forklift capable of moving a shipping container from a flatbed or skel truck. Tilt tray trucks are most often used for 10 and 20ft containers. These unload by tipping the tray and sliding the container off the rear of the truck. A clearance of 3.9m high, 3m wide and at least 25m in length is required so the truck can drive away. A side loader is generally used for 40ft deliveries. The container is dropped to the driver’s side of the truck approx. a metre away from the truck body. Side loaders can also be used for 20ft container movements. For the more difficult placements crane trucks are used which can move all size units to almost any position.

Container services companies can also carry out a wide range of container modifications which can meet any special requirements. Modified cargo and freight containers can be used for such diverse purposes as power sub stations, telecommunication repeaters, natural disaster response facilities, shops, bars, food outlets, marketing displays, and even art galleries.
