Details

Guide pricing only — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what's in the yard that week. Ring (07) 4944 2211 and we'll give you a real number, not a range.

About grades: As-is units are sold as seen and are not sold watertight — watertight applies to cargo-worthy and new grades only.

Why buy locally

The weather here is the whole argument

Anyone can freight a container into Mackay. Fewer people can tell you which side to face the doors, how high to block it off the ground on a Marian flood plain, or why the unit that looked fine in a Brisbane yard photo will be streaked with rust in two wet seasons.

  • A Mackay number that a person answers — (07) 4944 2211
  • Built for the wet — every cargo-worthy unit wind and watertight before it leaves
  • Delivery from Paget out to Moranbah, up to Bowen and through the Valley
  • Mine-spec and DG units available, not just standard boxes
How our sales & hire work
Where we run

Three very different delivery jobs

The city and Paget

Most orders. Tilt-tray from the yard. Timing depends on what is on the ground and where the truck is, and we confirm it when you book. We know which Paget yards a sidelifter can turn in and which streets in town it can't.

Paget deliveries

West to the Basin

Moranbah, Clermont and the sites past them. Inductions, gate times, laydown access and compliant DG units — the questions get asked before dispatch, not at the gate.

Mine site deliveries

Valley, coast and Whitsundays

Sarina through to Bowen, up the Pioneer Valley and out to the northern beaches. Cane blocks, acreage and salt-air storage that a tin shed won't survive.

Regional deliveries
Clean container interior with marine ply floor, checked before delivery
Before it leaves

What "checked" actually means

It's an easy word to put on a website. Here it means someone climbs in, shuts the doors and looks for daylight. Floor sounded for soft spots. Door seals and gear worked so they'll still open when the timber's swollen in February. Roof checked for ponding, and any bare steel treated before it travels.

Ask and we'll send photos of your actual unit — serial number visible — before it's delivered. If it isn't right, it doesn't go on the truck.

Container Homes and Cabins in the Mackay and Whitsundays Region: The Honest Version

Wind ratings, council approval, site accommodation and what a container build actually involves between Mackay, the Bowen Basin and Airlie Beach — including where the idea works and where it doesn't.

Keeping a Container Cool: Insulation and Ventilation in the Tropics

Why a steel box bakes in a Mackay summer and on a Bowen Basin site, the insulation options ranked by what they cost you in space and money, and the ventilation that does half the work for almost nothing.
