Why buy your container from ABC in Cairns
Stock in Cairns
Containers are held at our Cairns depot in Stratford, so they're local to the Far North, not freighted up from the south. That keeps delivery times down across the region.
Graded 1 to 10
Every used container is graded on our 1–10 scale, so you choose the condition you pay for. Grade 10 is the pick of the fleet; Grade 1 is sold as-is but still sound and watertight.
Photographed before delivery
We photograph your actual container before it leaves the depot, so what you see is what turns up. That's the ABC Photo Promise.
Built for the tropics
A steel container is lockable and vermin-proof. Refrigerated and insulated containers are popular in the Far North climate, so ask the team what's in stock.
Container delivery across Cairns and Far North Queensland
We deliver across Cairns and Far North Queensland: up onto the Tablelands to Mareeba, Atherton and Kuranda, south to Innisfail, and north to Port Douglas and Mossman. Given the distances, delivery is quoted carefully on your address, and we'll work through access for remote or tropical-weather sites with you.
