New and used shipping containers for sale and hire in Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River — vineyards along Caves Road, cattle and dairy country in the hinterland, and holiday homes on Geographe Bay.
A long South West haul to Geographe Bay, the Capes vineyards and the forest drives behind Yallingup.
Areas we service around Busselton: Dunsborough, Vasse, Yallingup, Wilyabrup, Cowaramup, Margaret River, Witchcliffe — and everywhere between. Not listed? Ask us — we go further than you'd think.
Busselton is one of the longer South West hauls from the stock. Containers leave a Fremantle depot, travel the Forrest Highway to the Bunbury area and carry on down the Bussell Highway past Capel into the City of Busselton. From there the roads split: Caves Road runs west to Dunsborough and on towards Yallingup, while the Bussell Highway continues south through Vasse and Cowaramup to Margaret River in the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River.
The long leg sits inside the delivered price — container and delivery in one figure. What changes most between two quotes in the Capes is the final few hundred metres: a gravel track between vine rows, a sandy lane to a beach house, or a steep, tree-lined drive in the forest country behind Yallingup and Wilyabrup.
The Margaret River region is wine country first, with beef and dairy through the hinterland and a scatter of orchards and small farms. Vineyards need lockable storage for spray chemicals, irrigation parts, bird netting, picking bins and tools, and a container beside the machinery shed is a simple way to get it. Cellar doors and restaurants sometimes choose a new single-trip container because it sits in plain view of visitors, and some fit one out as a store room.
Vine rows and tight turning circles are the practical challenge. A tilt-tray needs a straight run to reverse in and clear air above for the tray to lift; trellis wires, shade trees and power lines get in the way. Send a photo of the approach and the spot. A 20ft fits most farm drops; a 40ft needs a long, level strip and a side-loader.
Vintage is the busy stretch for most vineyards, with extra bins, hoses, picking gear and harvest equipment needing somewhere to live. A hire container dropped ahead of vintage and collected when it is over is often simpler than putting up more shed space for a few busy months of the year.
Busselton and Dunsborough have a lot of holiday houses and short-stay rentals, and owners use a container to keep their own gear — the boat, surfboards, bikes, spare linen and furniture — locked up and separate from guests. Builders on new homes around Vasse, Yalyalup and the Dunsborough estates take site stores on hire and return them at handover.
Lots in the Geographe Bay suburbs are generally flat sand, while the ridge country around Yallingup and Wilyabrup is gravel, laterite and forest. Soft sand needs road base under the wheels and the pad. Forest drives need room overhead and to the sides — a tilt-tray lifting a container reaches well above the height of the cab, and a low karri or marri limb will stop the job.
The Capes get noticeably more winter rain than Perth, and a closed steel box through a cold, damp winter will gather condensation. Fit vents at both ends, sit the container on pads so air moves underneath, and keep stored goods on pallets instead of straight on the floor.
Much of the region is bushfire prone. A container is not protection from fire and we will not suggest it is; if you plan to store fuel or chemicals, ask the City of Busselton or the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River about siting and clearances. For contents that must stay dry, choose cargo-worthy, which is inspected and sold wind and watertight. As-is units are cheaper and are not sold watertight.
Busselton's own suburbs — West Busselton, Broadwater, Geographe, Abbey — sit on flat coastal ground with straightforward driveways, and most drops there are routine for a tilt-tray. The catch is the water table: low-lying blocks near the Vasse wetlands can stay damp through winter, so the container should sit on pads rather than straight on the ground.
South of Margaret River the Bussell Highway carries on through Witchcliffe and Karridale to Augusta, and farm roads branch off east through Rosa Glen and Osmington. The country gets wetter and more heavily timbered the further south you go, and many properties are reached by gravel roads that soften over winter. On forested blocks the drop spot is usually a clearing near the house or shed — make sure it is big enough for the truck to line up straight, not just for the container to sit, and trim any limbs before the day.
