Container Hire Sunshine Coast: 10ft, 20ft and 40ft Shipping Containers
Container hire on the Sunshine Coast comes down to two simple questions: what size you need, and where you want it sitting. Bionic Storage hires out 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers in both standard and high cube, either delivered to your site or stored securely at our Landsborough yard. Rates are competitive, the booking is a phone call, and you can hire for a few weeks between jobs or for years at a time. This page covers the sizes, how on-site and off-site hire works, what to look for before you book, and the suburbs we cover across the coast.
Shipping Container Hire on the Sunshine Coast
A hired container is the simplest secure, weatherproof storage you can get. It locks, it keeps your gear out of the rain, sun and dust, and it goes back when you are done. Builders use them for tools and materials on site, businesses use them for stock and equipment overflow, and households use them through a renovation, a move or a decluttering run.
Bionic Storage carries the largest range of shipping container hire and container storage on the Sunshine Coast. You can hire short term between jobs or long term for ongoing storage, and you can keep the container at your address, at our yard, or even at a family member or friend’s place at a discounted rate. We are a local operator based in Landsborough, close to the Bruce Highway, which keeps delivery quick and affordable from Caloundra through to Noosa.
Container Sizes for Hire
We hire three footprints, each available as a standard container or a high cube. Standard containers suit everything from builders’ tools to household furniture. High cube containers add an extra 30 centimetres of internal height, which matters when you are stacking pallets, storing tall furniture or fitting in machinery that would not otherwise clear the door. The dimensions below are the working specs for our hire stock.
10ft Container Hire
The 10ft is the compact option, ideal for a small site, a tight driveway or a modest amount of gear. It holds the contents of a one to two bedroom unit, garden equipment, or a tradie’s tools and materials.
External Dimensions
Length: 3050 mm
Width: 2440 mm
Height: 2590 mm
Internal Dimensions
Length: 2800 mm
Width: 2330 mm
Height: 2350 mm
Door
Width: 2340 mm
Height: 2585 mm
20ft Container
The 20ft is the most popular hire size and the workhorse of the range. It holds roughly the contents of a two to three bedroom home, around ten standard pallets at single height, or a vehicle with storage around it. It is the default choice for most site storage and household jobs.
External Dimensions
Length: 6056 mm
Width: 2438 mm
Height: 2592 mm
Internal Dimensions
Length: 5898 mm
Width: 2352 mm
Height: 2392 mm
Door
Width: 2340 mm
Height: 2280 mm
40ft Container Hire
The 40ft doubles the floor space of a 20ft and suits a four to five bedroom home, a workshop with bench and racking, or large-scale site storage. Ask about high cube on the 40ft if you need the extra height for tall or stacked loads.
High cube is available across the range. On a 10ft and 20ft the external height lifts to around 2890 mm, giving you that extra internal room without changing the footprint on your site.
Mobile Storage vs Container Hire
There are two ways to hire a container from us, and the right one depends on whether you want it at your place or stored at ours.
On-site hire means we deliver the container to your address by tilt tray and position it on a clear, level spot. You keep it for the term, load and access it whenever you like, and we collect it when you are finished. This is the option for construction sites, machinery storage, renovations and business overflow, where you need the container where the work is. Delivery runs on our own tilt tray and towing service, so the truck and the container come from the same yard.
Off-site hire means the container stays at our secure Landsborough facility and we store it for you. You drive up during access hours and load or unload as needed. This suits anyone who does not want a large steel box at their address, or who is between properties and just needs somewhere safe to keep everything for a while. Either way, the container is fully lockable and yours for the length of the hire.
What to Look For Before You Hire a Container
A container is protecting your belongings, so a few things are worth checking before you book anywhere.
The first is condition. Look for a well-maintained, watertight container, because a unit that is rusting will let moisture in over time and put your gear at risk. Our hire fleet is kept in sound, weatherproof condition for exactly this reason.
The second is location. A close, easy-to-reach yard makes a real difference if you plan to visit often. Bionic Storage sits just off the Bruce Highway at Landsborough, which keeps us within easy reach of the whole coast, from Caloundra up to Noosa.
The third is security. Always ask how a facility is protected. Ours is a gated site with 24/7 CCTV surveillance, so your container and its contents stay safe whether you store with us for a week or a year.
The fourth is access. Think about how often you will need to get to your goods. If you are dropping off and leaving them for months, access matters less. If you are in and out weekly, you want easy drive-up and flexible hours. Our Landsborough facility offers 7-day access, so you can reach your belongings when it suits you.
Container Hire Across the Sunshine Coast
From our Landsborough base we deliver and hire containers right across the region, including Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Noosa, Nambour and Coolum. Because we run our own tilt tray and towing service out of the same yard, delivery and pickup stay quick and the transport cost stays sharp. Heavy vehicle access and load limits on the day follow the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator rules, so a clear, level site with room for the truck keeps your delivery simple.
Why Hire a Container from Bionic Storage
We are a Sunshine Coast operator, not a national call centre. That means competitive rates, down-to-earth service and a quote turned around fast when you get in touch. We hire the full range of 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers in standard and high cube, we deliver on our own trucks, and we can store your container at our yard or place it at yours. If you would rather buy than hire, we also sell new and used 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, and we can talk through hire versus buy for your situation.
