ABC Container Hire & Sales is a Toowoomba business - founded here in 2004, with its head office and an owned depot in town. We hire and sell shipping containers across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, from 10ft to 40ft, with hire from around $22 a week inc GST. Stock is local, so delivery across the Downs is usually fast.
The full range, 10ft to 40ft, general purpose and specialised, hire or buy. Because Toowoomba is our home depot, the second-hand fleet here is strong - good options across the grade range. Every purchase comes with the ABC Photo Promise.
Toowoomba container hire starts at around $22 a week including GST for a standard 20ft, depending on size, grade and hire length. Delivery across the Downs is quoted on your address. Get a free quote for the exact number.
Yes. The Darling Downs is core territory — Highfields, Oakey, Pittsworth, Crows Nest, Warwick and the rural properties between are all standard delivery from the Toowoomba depot.
ABC’s head office and an owned depot are in Toowoomba — the company was founded here in 2004. You’re welcome to visit and walk the yard during business hours; a quick call ahead means we’ll have the right stock out for you.
Fast — Toowoomba is our home depot, so stock is local with no freighting a unit in from elsewhere, and the second-hand fleet here is strong across the grade range. Get a free quote and we’ll confirm availability and delivery.
To get a container quote from ABC, request one online through the quote form or call your nearest depot. Tell us what you're storing, the size you think you need, your location, and whether you want to hire or buy. A real person gets back to you, usually within a few hours, with an actual price — not a “from”.
Most containers are delivered by tilt-tray truck, which tilts its tray to slide the container off and place it precisely — including down many suburban driveways. The driver positions it where you want it. Access matters: discuss driveway width, slope, overhead branches and ground conditions when you quote so the right truck is sent.
Delivery to Queensland metro areas and major towns typically takes 3–5 days from booking, because stock sits at a local depot rather than being freighted long distances. Rural and remote delivery takes longer and depends on the run. If you have a deadline, tell the team when you quote.
ABC delivers shipping containers across all of Queensland and into Northern NSW. Metro and major towns are standard delivery; rural and remote addresses, including Western Queensland, are quoted on distance and access. If you can give us the address, we can tell you the delivery. See the delivery areas page.
Access problems are best caught before the truck is booked — that's why ABC talks through driveway width, slope, gateways, overhead branches and ground conditions when you quote. If a standard tilt-tray can't reach, there are options like crane placement or a different truck. A two-minute conversation upfront avoids a failed delivery.
Prepare a reasonably level, firm area for your container — level so the doors work and the frame doesn't twist, firm so it doesn't sink. Many customers place containers on timber sleepers, concrete blocks or a compacted pad at the corners. Allow room for the delivery truck. The site preparation guide has the detail.
