Kingaroy is known for peanuts and navy beans, and the South Burnett around it adds cattle, pigs, grapes and grain. What those farms have in common is inputs worth protecting: seed, inoculant, chemicals, vet supplies and the small expensive parts that keep planters and harvesters going. A used cargo-worthy 20ft container beside the machinery shed is the usual answer. Mice are a real cost in a grain and peanut district, and a steel box with sound door seals gives them nothing to get through.
Properties storing bagged product, pallets of drench or long lengths of pipe tend to choose a 40ft. Wineries and cellar doors around Moffatdale and Kingaroy sometimes want a new single-trip container because it sits in view of visitors.
Where will the truck come from? Kingaroy is reached over the ranges by the D'Aguilar or Bunya highways, and delivery is quoted with the container according to the distance and your access — so the nearest town and the road you are on are the first things we ask.
What is the ground like? South Burnett red soil sets hard when dry and goes greasy when wet. A tilt-tray needs firm footing for about 15m of straight run. After rain, give it a few days.
What is overhead? Single-wire lines to sheds and bores are the classic miss. The tray lifts high as it tilts. Height and width clearances are on our delivery page.
How long do you need it? Contractors working at the power station and mine near Nanango, or on a build in town, are usually better off with hire. For a farm, buying is nearly always the better sum.
Kingaroy sits high enough to get proper frosts. Cold steel and moist air inside make condensation, and it drips from the roof onto whatever is stored below. Roof or wall vents fix most of it. Keep seed and bagged goods on pallets, away from the walls. Cargo-worthy containers are sold wind and watertight; as-is containers are a lower grade and are not sold as watertight, so match the grade to what is going inside.
On the D'Aguilar Highway between the coast and Kingaroy, Blackbutt and Yarraman grew up on timber and still have sawmills and forestry around them. Properties there are hilly and green, with more rain than the plains to the west, and red soil that turns greasy when wet. Tradies, small farms and acreage owners are the buyers, usually a used 20ft beside the house or shed. Driveways through timbered country have overhanging branches, so look up at the drop spot as well as along the drive.
North of Murgon, the Bjelke-Petersen Dam at Moffatdale and Lake Boondooma further west are fishing and camping spots, and the farms around Proston and Wondai run cattle, grain and grapes. Boat owners and campers want somewhere dry to store gear between trips; farmers want chemicals and spares locked away from mice. A used cargo-worthy 20ft covers both jobs. Choose a 40ft if you are storing a small boat on its trailer or pallets of product, as long as there is room for the truck.
Kingaroy's town blocks are mostly flat and roomy by coastal standards, so a 20ft down the side of a house is usually an easy drop. Most South Burnett containers are bought rather than hired, because the need is permanent and the box keeps its value. Hire makes sense for a defined job — a build, a move, a contract at Tarong. The hire-versus-buy guide shows where the break-even sits.

Yes. All three are within our South Burnett delivery area, as are the farms between them. Give us the nearest town and a description of the driveway or farm track.
A cargo-worthy container with intact door seals is one of the most mouse-resistant stores you can put on a farm, because the walls, floor and roof are continuous steel and marine ply. Check the seals yearly and keep the doors latched.
Yes. A 20ft on hire is the standard site store for builders and contractors. It is delivered to site and collected at the end. Current hire pricing is on our container hire page.
Yes. Both are on the D'Aguilar Highway and within our South Burnett delivery area. Tell us about the driveway and anything overhead where the container will go.
A small boat on its trailer can fit in a 40ft if its width and height clear the 2.34m door. Measure the rig first. For fishing and camping gear alone, a 20ft is plenty.
Hire for a single contract with an end date — the container is delivered to site and collected when the work finishes. If you have a run of jobs in the South Burnett, buying a used 20ft and moving it between sites can work out cheaper.
Timing depends on stock and the truck schedule; we confirm it when you book.
