Bundaberg grows a bit of everything — cane, macadamias, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and small crops — and nearly every one of those farms has the same problem: valuable, portable things kept in open sheds. Chemicals, fertiliser, irrigation fittings, pump gear, picking bins and cartons all store well in a used cargo-worthy 20ft container. Steel walls keep rats out of cartons and seed, and a padlock on steel doors is a far harder target than a shed roller door.
Packing sheds and larger growers storing palletised cartons or nut-in-shell bags move up to a 40ft, or a high cube if the pallets are stacked tall. If the need is seasonal, such as extra dry storage for the harvest months, hiring avoids owning a box that sits empty the rest of the year.
The red volcanic soil that makes Bundaberg so productive is slippery when wet and can stay soft for days. A tilt-tray needs firm ground for its whole run-in, not just at the pad, so a gravelled track or a dry week makes a big difference. Headlands, irrigation mains near the surface and low lines to pump sheds are the other things to point out to us beforehand. Our delivery page lists the width, height and length the truck needs; delivery is quoted with the container once we know where you are and what the access is like.
Bundaberg knows what the Burnett River can do. Households and businesses on lower ground sometimes choose a container precisely because it is not fixed to the site: if a major rise is forecast, it can be emptied, or lifted onto a truck and moved, while access is still open. That is the honest extent of it. A cargo-worthy container is sold wind and watertight against rain, but it will take in water if it sits in a flood, and an empty one can float. Choose the highest spot available and set it on blocks. As-is containers, the cheaper grade, are not sold as watertight at all.
In Bargara and along the coast the jobs are mostly household — renovations, downsizing and boat gear — and blocks are smaller, so measure the driveway before ordering.
East of the city, Bargara, Innes Park, Burnett Heads, Moore Park Beach and Elliott Heads are where Bundaberg goes to live by the sea. The container jobs there are household ones: a downsizer's furniture between houses, a renovation, a boat and fishing kit that has outgrown the garage. Blocks are smaller, some streets are sandy, and salt air works on bare steel. A used cargo-worthy 20ft is plenty for storage; buy new if it will sit in view of the street and you want it to stay tidy with little upkeep.
South of Bundaberg, Childers and the old Isis district are a mix of cane, macadamias and small crops on red soil, with Woodgate on the coast. Farm access here is usually good, but red soil after rain is slippery and holds water; a gravelled run-in or a few dry days matters. Growers storing harvest gear, chemicals and bagged product in one place often choose a 40ft, provided there is room for the truck beside the pad.
West along the Bruce Highway, Gin Gin is cattle and cropping country, with bigger distances and bigger properties. Graziers there want a lockable box for vet supplies, lick, tools and saddlery. Station tracks, grids and creek crossings decide the delivery. Tell us about them, along with the nearest town, and the price comes back with delivery included.

Yes. Childers, Gin Gin and the properties off the Bruce Highway and Bundaberg–Gin Gin Road are part of our Bundaberg delivery area. Tell us the nearest town and whether the track in is sealed, gravel or dirt.
It can, provided a truck can still reach it and it has been emptied or loaded lightly. That takes notice and open roads, so it is a plan to make ahead of time, not on the day. A container should never be relied on to keep floodwater out.
A cargo-worthy container with good door seals is about as vermin-resistant as farm storage gets, because there is no gap under the walls and nothing for rats to chew through. Keep the doors shut and check the seals each season.
Yes. The coastal villages east of Bundaberg are within our delivery area. Some streets are sandy and blocks are small, so measure the driveway and send a photo.
A used 20ft suits chemicals, tools and spares on most farms. If you also store bagged product, harvest gear or pallets, a 40ft is better value per cubic metre, provided the truck has room to set it down.
