10ft One-Trip Shipping Container — Blue — New
A compact, brand-new 10ft shipping container for storage where space is limited. This One-Trip 10ft shipping container was manufactured in China and shipped to Australia once with a load of cargo. Furthermore, it is the most common form of new container available in Australia — and significantly more cost-effective than European-manufactured alternatives.
Moreover, every unit is built from all Cor-Ten steel construction with a 28mm marine plywood floor, factory-fitted lockbox, and two locking bars on each door. As a result, it arrives secure, weatherproof, and ready to use from the moment it is delivered.
Additionally, this container is available in green, and used cut-down 10ft containers are available at a lower cost for budget-conscious buyers.

10ft vs 20ft — When the Smaller Unit Is the Right Choice
| Factor | 10ft Container | 20ft Container |

| Tare Weight | 1,300 kg | 2,200 kg |
| Suits Tight Sites | Yes | Limited |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |

The 10ft container suits residential blocks, tight commercial yards, and any site where a 20ft unit cannot be delivered or positioned. Therefore, it is the correct choice when space — not volume — is the limiting factor.

10ft Shipping Container Applications
Residential and Small Property Storage
The 10ft footprint fits on standard residential blocks where a 20ft container cannot be positioned or permitted. Furthermore, the lightweight tare weight of 1,300 kg makes delivery and placement easier on driveways and soft ground conditions.
Construction and Trade Sites
Tradies and small construction teams store tools, materials, and equipment securely on tight urban sites. Moreover, the factory-fitted lockbox and dual locking bars protect valuable tools and equipment around the clock.
Business and Retail Storage
Small businesses use 10ft containers for overflow stock, seasonal inventory, and equipment storage where yard space is limited. As a result, they gain secure weatherproof storage without committing to the larger footprint of a 20ft unit.
Farm and Agricultural Use
Agricultural properties store chemicals, seeds, and small machinery parts in a compact, secure unit. Additionally, the One-Trip interior is clean and odour-free — suitable for sensitive agricultural materials without residue from prior cargo.
Pool Equipment and Utility Storage
Homeowners use 10ft containers to house pool equipment, garden tools, and outdoor machinery. Therefore, the compact size fits neatly beside a pool plant room or along a fence line without dominating the yard.
Why Buy One-Trip Over Used?
- As-new interior — clean, odour-free, and free of residue from previous cargo
- No maintenance on arrival — no rust, floor repairs, or repainting required
- Longer service life — new Corten steel outlasts used equivalents
- Conversion-ready — clean walls and floor reduce fit-out preparation time
- Lockbox included — additional security layer at no extra cost
