Shipping container stock in the yard at golden hour

A town of movers, downsizers and boat owners

Hervey Bay keeps growing because people retire here, and that shapes what containers get used for. A typical case is someone between houses: sold down south, building or buying in the bay, and needing a household's worth of furniture kept safe for six months. A 20ft container on hire does that job and leaves when you unpack.

The other is the permanent shed substitute. Caravanners, fishers and anyone with a boat at Urangan ends up with more gear than garage. Where the block is tight, a 10ft container tucks beside the house and takes the fishing gear, the camping kit and the mower. For this kind of storage a used cargo-worthy unit is plenty; buy new only if the look of it matters to you or the neighbours.

Sandy ground and coastal air

Much of the bay is built on sand, and sand is fine under a container but poor under a loaded truck if it is loose or has been soaked. A firm driveway or compacted gravel for the truck's run-in avoids a bogged tilt-tray. Under the container itself, use concrete blocks or pavers at the four corners so it stays level as the ground settles.

Salt air is the other local factor. Containers are made for the sea, but surface rust on a used box needs a wire brush and a dab of paint now and then, more so near the Esplanade than out at Howard. Inside, fit vents: a closed steel box in a humid coastal town will sweat without airflow. Cargo-worthy grade is sold wind and watertight; as-is grade is not, and is best kept for gear that can get damp.

Before you order

Check the driveway against the clearances on our delivery page, and check any estate covenant or body corporate rule about structures visible from the street — plenty of newer Hervey Bay estates have one. Then call us with the address. The delivery is priced in with the container, so you see one total.

Hervey Bay container questions

Can I store furniture in a container while my Hervey Bay house is built?

Yes, and it is one of the most common uses here. Hire a 20ft, pack it with furniture off the floor on pallets or blankets, add moisture absorbers and fit vents if it will be closed up over summer.

Do you deliver to Burrum Heads, Howard and Toogoom?

Yes. The towns north-west of Hervey Bay are within our Fraser Coast delivery area. Some streets are sandy or unsealed, so tell us what the road surface and the driveway are like.

Is a 10ft container big enough for boat and camping gear?

For most households, yes. A 10ft has 16 cubic metres inside — room for outboards, rods, eskies, swags and a mower, with shelving down one wall. It will not take the boat itself; for that you need length, and a 20ft is the starting point.

How long does container delivery to Hervey Bay take?

Timing depends on stock and the truck schedule; we confirm it when you book.

How much does delivery to Hervey Bay cost?

Delivery is quoted upfront based on your exact address and container size — one clear number covering container + freight, GST inclusive. Call 1300 235 972 for a delivered price today.

Can I view a container before buying?

Ask us and we'll send photos of your actual container — serial number visible — before it's delivered. Local inspection options depend on depot stock; ask when you enquire.
