30ft One-Trip Cut Down Shipping Container — New
A new, one-trip 40ft shipping container professionally cut down to exactly a 30ft shipping container. This container suits locations where a full 40ft unit is too long to manoeuvre, position, or fit within the available site footprint. Furthermore, it delivers the same structural integrity as a full-size container — with fabricated rear panels and corner posts engineered to the same standard as the original factory build.
Moreover, every unit is prepared and re-sprayed inside and out after cutting — giving a clean, consistent finish throughout. As a result, you receive a ready-to-use storage container that looks and performs like a purpose-built unit, not a cut-down offcut.
Additionally, the fitted lockbox and double rear doors provide secure, practical access for construction, commercial, and agricultural storage applications.

30ft vs 20ft vs 40ft — Size Comparison
| Size | External Length | Internal Length | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20ft | 6,058 mm | 5,898 mm | Compact sites, residential, small commercial |
| 30ft | 9,120 mm | 9,000 mm | Sites too short for 40ft — more capacity than 20ft |
| 40ft | 12,192 mm | 11,590 mm | Maximum storage, large sites, full pallet runs |
The 30ft fills the gap between a 20ft and 40ft precisely. Therefore, it suits sites where a 20ft is too small but a 40ft cannot be delivered, positioned, or permitted.

Applications
Sites With Access or Space Restrictions
Many residential, commercial, and construction sites cannot accommodate a full 40ft container. Furthermore, narrow driveways, short yards, and council setback requirements all limit container length. As a result, the 30ft cut-down is the practical solution — more capacity than a 20ft with a footprint that fits where a 40ft cannot.
Construction and Site Storage
Store tools, materials, and equipment on constrained construction sites. Moreover, the marine plywood floor withstands forklift entry and heavy pallet loads — handling the daily demands of active construction site storage.
Business and Commercial Storage
Retail, trade, and industrial businesses use 30ft containers for overflow stock, seasonal inventory, and equipment storage. Additionally, the lockbox and double locking bars secure high-value assets around the clock.
Farm and Agricultural Use
Agricultural properties with limited driveway or yard access benefit from the shorter footprint. Furthermore, the re-sprayed interior provides a clean storage environment for seeds, chemicals, machinery parts, and dry goods.
Why Cut Down From a One-Trip Container?
Some suppliers cut used containers to size. We cut from new, one-trip units. Therefore, the steel is in as-new condition before any modification begins. Moreover, the fabricated rear panel and corner posts are welded to the same structural specification as a factory-built container. As a result, you receive a 30ft container with the structural integrity of a new unit — not a patched-up used one.
