Mackay runs on two industries and both of them use containers hard. In Paget, mining-services workshops that supply the Bowen Basin buy 40ft containers and high cubes as parts stores and overflow for components waiting on a shutdown. Contractors often hire for the length of a contract so the storage goes off the books when the work does.
Up the Pioneer Valley and south around Sarina it is cane. Growers want a lockable, vermin-resistant box for chemicals, fertiliser, pump parts and harvester spares — typically a used cargo-worthy 20ft placed beside the existing shed. North at Proserpine it is more cane, and around Bowen it is horticulture: packing materials, irrigation fittings and picking gear that needs to be out of the sun and behind a lock between seasons.
Headlands and farm tracks are built for tractors and haul-outs, not for a tilt-tray carrying a couple of tonnes of steel. The things that stop a delivery on a cane farm are predictable: soft headlands after rain, narrow culverts and drain crossings, cane-rail crossings on the way in, and power lines over the shed apron. A straight, firm run of about 15m is what a 20ft needs to slide off. During the crush the roads are busy with cane traffic as well, so a little flexibility on the day helps. Check your access against our delivery page and send photos of anything doubtful.
Mackay's wet season delivers serious rain, and the Pioneer River and its creeks come up with it. Put the container on the highest firm ground you have, on blocks. A cargo-worthy container is sold wind and watertight against rain from above; it is not a flood barrier, and water will come in through the door seals if it stands in floodwater. As-is units are cheaper and are not sold as watertight. If the site is exposed, talk to an engineer or installer about anchoring well ahead of cyclone season.

Yes. Both are on the Bruce Highway north of Mackay and we quote delivery with the container. For farms off the highway, tell us the nearest town and what the track in is like.
Yes. 20ft containers are available on hire for site storage and are collected when the job finishes. If the contract keeps rolling over, it is worth comparing the hire total against buying a used container outright.
A lockable steel container is a common choice, but chemical storage has its own rules on ventilation, bunding and signage. Check the product labels and your state requirements, and ask us about ventilated dangerous goods containers if you are storing larger volumes.
