Most Requested Container Modifications
Where most of our hire and purchase enquiries land, based on patterns across construction, mining and remote sites.
If you are weighing up what to order first, site offices and amenities almost always come first. Specialised units like DG stores and first aid rooms tend to follow once the main site setup is in.

Modified Shipping Containers: Common Questions
How long does it take to get a modified shipping container delivered?
Lead time depends on the level of modification. Standard fit outs like site offices and lunch rooms can usually be delivered within 2 to 4 weeks. Heavier custom builds (accommodation units, full DG stores, water treatment setups) take longer. Tell us your deadline upfront and we will tell you straight what is realistic.
Can a modified shipping container be moved once it is fitted out?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons people choose containers over a permanent build. They are designed to be transported and relocated, which makes them ideal for mobile worksites, short term projects, or sites where the work moves.
Do I need council approval for a modified container on my site?
It depends on your local council, the zoning, and how long the container will be in place. Temporary site sheds for construction often do not need approval. Permanent installations or container homes usually do. Check with your local council before delivery if you are not sure.
What is the difference between a standard container and a high cube?
A standard container has an internal height of around 2.39m. A high cube is roughly 30cm taller, giving you about 2.69m inside. That extra height makes a big difference for workshops, storing tall equipment, or any fit out where you want air con or ducting in the ceiling.
Are your modified shipping containers insulated?
Insulation is optional and we strongly recommend it for any container being used as an office, lunch room, accommodation unit or first aid room. Australian summers heat a steel box up fast, and insulation drops the internal temperature noticeably. We use wall and ceiling insulation as standard on fit outs designed for people.
Can I buy a modified container outright or do I have to hire?
Both options are available across our full range. Hire is the cheaper short term option and we handle maintenance. Buying makes more sense for projects running over 2 years, or for businesses that want the container as a long term asset they can relocate or resell later.
Do you deliver to remote mine sites and regional Australia?
Yes, we deliver Australia wide including remote sites in the Pilbara, Goldfields, central Queensland, the Northern Territory and beyond. Remote delivery is factored into the quote upfront, so there are no nasty surprises on the final invoice.
