Why hire containers instead of buying?

SEA Containers offers flexible rental options for 20ft containers to meet your specific needs. Hiring a shipping container is ideal for short-term use, providing an affordable temporary solution for storage, freight, or events. We also sell containers for those who prefer a more permanent option. If you buy a container and later find you no longer need it, you can resell it and recover the cost.

We deliver containers directly on-site using a HIAB crane truck or side-loading swing lift. Delivery to New Zealand metropolitan areas is as fast as 24-48 hours, while other parts of the country may take slightly longer. Delivery costs vary, so please contact our team for more information.
