New and used shipping containers for sale and hire in Roma and the Maranoa — Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Mitchell, Injune and Surat, and the stations between them.
Australia's largest cattle selling centre, with gas country either side of it. Containers head west on our Warrego runs for station storage, workshop gear and site offices that have to keep working a long way from the nearest hardware shop.
Areas we service around Roma: Roma, Wallumbilla, Mitchell, Injune, Surat, Yuleba — and everywhere between. Not listed? Ask us — we go further than you'd think.
On a Maranoa station, running out of something means hours on the road, so properties carry stock: lick and supplements, vet supplies, poly pipe and fittings, fencing materials, oils, filters and the spares for whatever machine is most likely to stop. Kept in an open shed, that is a standing invitation to rats, dust and theft. A used cargo-worthy container puts all of it behind steel and one lock. Most stations start with a 20ft; those storing pallets of lick or long lengths of pipe and steel are better off with a 40ft, which has a little over 12 metres of internal length.
Because freight is a bigger part of the total out here than it is near the coast, it pays to get the size right first time. Bringing a second container later costs another trip. If you are weighing up two 20s against one 40, ask us to price both.
Highway access to Roma is simple — the Warrego from the east and west, the Carnarvon north to Injune and south to Surat. The station road is where deliveries are won or lost. Tell us about the narrowest grid and gate (a truck wants about 3.5m clear), any dry creek crossings with steep approaches, and how the road holds up after rain. Red and black soils out here can both shut a track for days. At the drop spot the driver needs firm, roughly level ground and a straight run to tilt the container off. See our delivery page for the checklist. Delivery is quoted with the container and reflects the distance and the access; one phone call gets you the exact figure.
Roma is a gas town as well as a cattle town, and contractors working the fields around Wallumbilla and Injune take containers as site stores, usually on hire. In town it is trades, rural suppliers and households wanting a lockable shed without a slab. For anyone fitting out a site office or workshop, a high cube is the better starting point.
Western summers are fierce, and an unshaded steel box gets very hot inside. Vent it, shade it if you can, and do not store anything heat-sensitive — some vet products and chemicals specify storage temperatures — without checking the label. For anything that has to stay dry, choose cargo-worthy, which is sold wind and watertight. As-is grade is not, and is best kept for fencing gear and steel.

Yes. Tell us the nearest town, the distance off the bitumen, the width of the narrowest gate or grid and how the road handles rain. Delivery is quoted with the container, so you get one total.
For a station, buy. The need is permanent and the transport each way is a large part of any hire. Hire suits contractors and projects with a defined end date.
A 40ft is cheaper per cubic metre and is one delivery. Two 20s give you separation — chemicals in one, feed in the other — and each can be placed by a tilt-tray in tighter spots. Ask us to quote both ways.
Yes. All three are within the area we quote for from Roma, along with Wallumbilla and Yuleba to the east.
Timing depends on stock and the truck schedule; we confirm it when you book.
