ABC Container Hire & Sales hires out shipping containers in Townsville from stock held at a Townsville depot in Mount Low, so containers are local rather than railed up from Brisbane. Hire is priced by the week with no lock-in contract: we deliver the container to your site across Townsville, Thuringowa, Ayr, the Burdekin and Charters Towers, and collect it when you're finished. Sizes run from 10ft to 40ft, for household storage, a farm or a work site.
Shipping container hire in Townsville starts at $30 a week for a 20ft and $45 a week for a 40ft, including GST.
| Size | Hire from |
|---|---|
| 20ft container | $30 /week |
