FAQS
Please explore our frequently asked questions below if you have any questions about our container hire and relocation services.
If your query has not been answered, call us, and we'll be more than happy to assist you personally.
Can I use my own shipping container?
Yes; however, all containers used in road/rail transit MUST have valid CSC certification. To check if your container has valid accreditation, check the compliance plate located on one of the doors.
If there is a sticker on the bottom right of the plate, the hole-punched month and year must be at least 2 months ahead of today's date. If there is no date, check the date of manufacture – if it is within 5 years, then it is considered Newbuild and therefore valid for RAIL transit.
How much does it cost to hire a shipping container to move interstate?
The cost of hiring a shipping container to move houses interstate will vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the container, the rental duration, the delivery, and the distance involved. We recommend filling out the form on our contact page for a personalised quote.
I’m looking at hiring a shipping container to move house; what size container do I need?
Generally, for a regular-sized 3-4 bedroom home, we would recommend a 20ft container. Smaller containers such as 10ft can be an alternative however they are are diffcult to source for interstate relocations due to availability issues, and they can’t go on rail meaning a higher transport cost. 40ft containers can be a great a solution for bigger homes but can be problematic to deliver due to the truck required to transport it being too big for many residential streets. A great option though for homes on acreage.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please feel free to contact our team. Moving can be stressful, and we want to make this process as hassle-free as possible.

Is my address eligible for delivery?
Knowing if you can take a container to either address is important. Note that the road set down requires council approval, so the set down should either be in your driveway or on the grassed frontage.
- Can you meet the following?
- Level/flat (ish) driveway or level/flat (ish) frontage.
- No overhead power lines will impede the truck and container.
- Plenty of swing room in the street for the truck itself to get in and out.
- The approach to your street can be easily navigated by truck.
- No narrow gates or closed fences will impede truck access.
- No other foreseeable obstacles impeding truck access.
If you're unsure if you can answer all of these questions, don't worry - that's what we're here for! With the assumption that your addresses can safely take a container, should you choose to proceed with our quote, we will review each address using Google Maps and any pictures and/or additional information you can provide us and determine their compatibility.
It's important to note that most 3-4 bedroom homes will comfortably fit into a 20ft Shipping Container. However, we highly recommend you get a skip bin and cull what you don't need - be ruthless; there's nothing more satisfying than a solid de-clutter! Most home relocations are done using tilt trucks on either side of the rail. If you want more information on the truck formats and space requirements, click here.
