Whether you need extra space at home, on a worksite, or for your business, Shipping Container Rentals offers Mackay and Bowen Basin customers two simple storage options: a shipping container unit delivered straight to your site or secure self storage at our shipping container yard. Both options use the same quality steel shipping container units, so the right choice comes down to access, space, and how often you need to access your belongings.

Which Option Suits You?

Deciding between the two often comes down to how long you’ll need the space. A short job favours a shipping container unit delivered straight to site, while ongoing storage suits self storage at our Mackay yard, where shipping containers stay secure until you need them again.

Either way, our team can help you get the right fit. SCR Australia backs both services with the same steel shipping containers used across our sales, self storage, and hire work, so you’re never choosing between quality and convenience, just the setup that suits your site and your schedule.

Still weighing it up? Contact us at SCR Australia and talk through your storage needs with our team. We’ll walk you through the solutions available, whether that’s a container on site, a self storage unit at the yard, or a mix of both as your Mackay project moves forward.

Storage On Your Site

If you need storage close at hand, we deliver a container directly to your home, business or worksite. This is the most convenient option for construction sites, renovations, moving house, or any job where you need regular access to tools, equipment, or stock without leaving your location. You choose the size, we handle delivery, and the shipping container becomes your own private, lockable storage space on your own ground.

Not every site is the same shape, and that’s where a quick chat before delivery pays off. Steep driveways, tight side access, or soft ground near the coast can all affect where a shipping container ends up sitting, so it helps to flag these details early rather than on the day.

Our Mackay team handles that groundwork as part of the delivery service, working out placement so your shipping container sits level, accessible, and ready to lock up straight away. If your storage needs turn out to be shorter term than expected, self storage at our yard is there as a fallback, but for ongoing site work, having a shipping container on your own ground usually wins on convenience.

Contact our team to talk through access, size, and delivery timing before you book. We’ll help match the solutions to your site, not the other way around.

Storage At Our Yard

If you don’t have the space on site, or you’re after a more affordable option, you can store your shipping container at our secure Mackay yard. This suits customers moving, downsizing, between properties, or simply needing extra room without the shipping container taking up space at home. Our yard gives you a safe, off-site location to keep your goods until you need them.

Keeping things off your own property has its perks beyond freeing up space. A fenced yard means your belongings aren’t sitting exposed at a house that’s half packed up or a site nobody’s watching overnight, and that extra layer of security matters most while a move is still underway.

Self storage also suits a staged move. Load one shipping container this week and another once the next room’s cleared, and our Mackay team will hold both at the yard until your new place is ready. Self storage here isn’t tied to a single fixed drop-off date, and we can arrange collection whenever suits.

Contact us to check what’s free at the yard right now. Our Mackay services cover both the containers and the delivery, so you’re not juggling separate bookings to get everything stored.

Getting the size right matters, whether you’re storing household furniture, business stock, tools, or vehicles. Our range of shipping containers includes:

• 6ft and 8ft shipping containers – ideal for small personal storage jobs, a single room of furniture, or tight sites with limited space.
• 10ft shipping containers – a good middle ground for household moves, trade tools, or small business stock.
• 20ft (standard and high cube) shipping containers – suited to larger household moves, vehicle storage, or medium business needs.
• 40ft (standard and high cube) shipping containers – best for bulk storage, construction sites, or larger business and commercial needs.

Not sure what size suits your situation? Contact SCR Australia. Our team can talk you through it, or you can view our full range of shipping containers online before you book.

Every container we supply for storage is built from solid steel with a fully lockable door system, giving your goods the same level of security whether stored on your own site or at our yard.

Benefits include:

There’s no need to worry; a shipping container is one of the most secure storage solutions available.

The biggest deterrent of shipping containers is their own bulk. There’s no window to peer through, and no thin wall to force, which is why containers work so well for machinery and vehicles left unattended for stretches at a time.

You can also fit your own padlock or hasp to most of our shipping containers if you’d rather control the lock yourself instead of relying on the standard fittings. It’s a small addition worth raising before delivery.

If you want to check locking options for containers ahead of time, contact our Mackay team. We can walk you through which shipping containers suit higher value goods, and you’re welcome to contact us again once you’ve decided what you need secured.

Access depends on which storage option you choose:

1. On-site storage – the container is on your own ground, so you have access whenever you need it.
2. Yard storage – access is arranged around agreed hours; just get in touch with our team to organise a time that works for you.

Hire terms for containers are flexible, with short- and long-term options available depending on whether you need storage for a few weeks or several months. There are no hidden fees or confusing conditions, just clear terms agreed up front.

Storage pricing depends on a few key factors:

1. Container size – larger containers cost more but offer better value per cubic metre.
2. Hire length – longer hire periods for containers generally offer better value per month, while short-term hire of containers suits one-off moves.
3. Delivery location – whether the container is delivered to your site or kept at our yard.

As a guide, longer hire periods and larger units offer better overall value, while short-term hire suits temporary jobs. For an accurate price based on your needs, request a free online quote or give our team a call; we’re happy to talk through the best value option for your budget, whether it’s hiring shipping containers or purchasing units outright.

Booking your container storage is easy:

1. Fill out our online quote form with your delivery suburb, the size you need, and when you need it.
2. Or call our team directly on 1800 006 162 to talk through your options.
3. We’ll confirm availability and container stock for your area.
4. We’ll arrange delivery, often with next-day service across most of coastal Queensland.
5. Your container is ready to use, on your site or at our yard, exactly when you need it.

Whether it’s your first time hiring a storage container or you’re a returning customer, our locally based team is here to help make the whole process simple and stress-free.

Getting the size right the first time saves a second trip later. If you’re between two sizes of containers, it’s worth erring on the larger, since swapping out containers after delivery means arranging a second collection and drop-off rather than a simple adjustment.

Our quote form asks for delivery suburb and timing upfront so stock can be checked against what’s actually available in your area, not just a general estimate. That’s particularly useful during busier periods, when certain container sizes move faster than others across Mackay and the Bowen Basin.

Booking by phone works just as well if you’d rather talk through the details first, especially if your site has awkward access or you’re unsure which containers or units would actually fit. Either way, the same team confirms stock and locks in your delivery window before anything is finalised.
