Shipping Containers for Sale in Tasmania
Buying a container doesn’t need to be complicated.
The right option depends on what you’re using it for, how much space you need, your budget and where the container will be positioned.
For example, someone needing extra storage on a farm may have very different requirements from a business purchasing a container for a commercial site.
If you’re unsure which container to buy, give us a call. Tell us what you’re trying to achieve and we’ll help you narrow down the options.

Shipping Container Hire Tasmania
Buying isn’t always the best option.
If you only need a container for a renovation, construction project, temporary storage requirement or particularly busy period, hiring may make more sense.
Fleet Containers offers shipping container hire across Tasmania, subject to stock and location.
Let us know what size you’re after, how long you’ll need it and where it needs to be delivered and we’ll check what’s available.

Shipping Container Delivery Across Tasmania
One of the first things people usually ask us is: “Can you deliver to my area?”
In most cases, yes.
We arrange shipping container delivery throughout Tasmania, including:
Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, Glenorchy, Brighton, Cambridge, Kingston, Sorell, New Norfolk, Huonville, George Town, Longford, Deloraine, Ulverstone, Penguin, Somerset, Smithton and surrounding regional areas.
If your town isn’t listed, give us a call anyway. We can let you know what’s possible.
How Much Does Container Delivery Cost?
There isn’t one standard delivery price for Tasmania.
The cost depends on the container size, delivery location, distance involved, site access and the type of transport required.
When asking for a quote, send us your postcode and let us know if there’s anything unusual about the property or access.
That way we can work out the container and delivery costs properly rather than giving you a price that changes later.
10ft, 20ft & 40ft Shipping Containers Tasmania
Not sure what size you need?
Bigger isn’t automatically better. The right container depends on what you’re storing, how much room you have and how the container will be used.
10ft
10ft Shipping Containers
A 10ft container is a handy option when space is limited or you simply don’t need the capacity of a larger container.
They’re commonly used for household storage, tools, equipment and smaller commercial storage requirements.
20ft
20ft Shipping Containers
The 20ft container is one of the most popular all-round options.
It provides plenty of usable storage without taking up the space of a 40ft container. They’re commonly used by homeowners, builders, farms, workshops and businesses.
New and used 20ft containers may be available depending on current Tasmanian stock.
40ft
40ft Shipping Containers
When you have a lot to store, a 40ft container provides considerably more room.
They’re often used on commercial and industrial sites, farms and larger construction projects.
High cube versions are also available where additional internal height is useful.
New & Used Shipping Containers Tasmania
One of the most common questions we get is whether it’s worth buying new or saving some money and going used.
There’s no single right answer.
New Shipping Containers
New or one-trip containers generally have significantly less wear and tear.
They’re worth considering when appearance matters, the container will be highly visible or you’re planning to keep it for many years.
Used Shipping Containers
A used container will naturally show more signs of its previous working life, but that doesn’t mean it’s unsuitable for storage.
A good used container can offer excellent value, particularly when appearance isn’t your main concern.
There are also different grades and conditions available.
Tell us how you’re planning to use the container and we’ll help you decide whether paying extra for new is actually worthwhile.
How Much Does a Shipping Container Cost in Tasmania?
Container prices aren’t fixed and can change based on stock and market conditions.
Your final price will depend on things such as:
- Container size
- New or used condition
- Container type
- Current availability
- Delivery location
- Transport requirements
- Modifications
This is why we recommend comparing the total delivered price, rather than simply looking at an advertised container price.
Send us your postcode, preferred size and whether you’re looking for new or used and we’ll provide current pricing.
Shipping Containers for Homes, Farms & Businesses
There’s no single type of Fleet Containers customer.

Can I Hire a Shipping Container in Tasmania?

Is a 20ft or 40ft Shipping Container Better?
Neither is automatically better.
A 20ft container is a popular all-round size and can fit comfortably on more properties. A 40ft container provides considerably more storage but also requires more room for positioning and delivery.
If you’re unsure, tell us what you need to store and we’ll help you choose.
Are Used Shipping Containers Still Weatherproof?
Shipping containers are originally designed to withstand harsh transport conditions, but the condition of a used container will depend on its age and history.
Choosing an appropriate grade is important, particularly if you’re storing items that need to remain protected.
What Should I Check Before Ordering a Container?
Check that there’s enough room for the container and the vehicle delivering it.
Consider access width, gates, ground conditions, trees, buildings, powerlines and other overhead obstructions.
If you think access might be difficult, let us know before delivery is arranged.
Can Shipping Containers Be Modified?
Yes. Shipping containers can be modified with doors, windows, ventilation, shelving, electrical components and other features depending on the intended application.
