New and used shipping containers for sale and hire in Geraldton and the Midwest — the city and Narngulu, the coast from Dongara up to Kalbarri, and the grain and station country inland.
Up the Brand Highway to the Midwest coast, the grain belt and the stations and mines inland.
Areas we service around Geraldton: Narngulu, Waggrakine, Bluff Point, Dongara, Northampton, Kalbarri, Mullewa, Walkaway — and everywhere between. Not listed? Ask us — we go further than you'd think.
Geraldton sits a long way north of the stock. Containers leave a Fremantle depot, cross the northern suburbs and head up the Brand Highway through the heathland north of Perth, passing Dongara before running into the City of Greater Geraldton. North of the city the North West Coastal Highway continues to Northampton, and the Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road runs east through Mullewa and on into the Murchison.
The road leg is included in the quote, container and delivery in a single delivered figure. Tell us exactly where it is going — a Narngulu yard, a house in Waggrakine, a farm off Chapman Valley Road — and what the last stretch of road is like.
Inland of Geraldton the Midwest is broadacre grain with sheep and cattle, and further out come pastoral stations and the Murchison's mines. Farms need lockable storage for chemicals, seed, fencing and spares; stations need a secure, vermin-resistant store a long way from the nearest hardware shop; mining and exploration contractors use containers as camp stores and on-site workshops. A used cargo-worthy 20ft covers most of it, with 40ft units for bulkier items or a bigger site.
Remote sites raise their own questions: who meets the truck at the gate, whether the track has been graded, where a heavy vehicle can turn around, and whether a mine site has induction or escort requirements. Give us those details up front. If the last section is not suitable for a heavy vehicle, we can quote to the nearest point on a formed road.
Geraldton is one of the main ports of the western rock lobster fishery, and the port also handles grain and iron ore. Fishers, boat owners and marine businesses around the fishing boat harbour and Batavia Coast Marina take containers for pots, ropes, floats and engine parts. In Narngulu and Webberton, transport and fabrication businesses use them as yard stores. Households in Bluff Point, Tarcoola Beach, Wandina and Waggrakine buy or hire them for renovations and moves.
In town, access is usually straightforward — standard driveways and reasonably flat blocks — though drifting sand and loose ground on the coastal side can catch a truck out. The rural-residential lots around Waggrakine, Moonyoonooka and Walkaway are larger, and a tilt-tray can usually work freely as long as the pad is firm.
Geraldton is a windy town. Strong southerlies blow through much of summer, carrying sand and salt with them. Put the doors on the sheltered side where possible, keep sand from building up against the walls and the door seals, and treat scratches before rust spreads. Summer sun heats a steel box quickly; a light colour and vents help if the contents are heat-sensitive.
For goods that must stay dry, choose a cargo-worthy container — inspected and sold wind and watertight. As-is units are cheaper, are not sold watertight, and suit gear that can live outdoors. On an exposed site, ask the City of Greater Geraldton or an engineer about anchoring before the container arrives.
Just outside the city, the Chapman Valley runs north-east through farming country around Nabawa, and the Greenough flats stretch south along the coast towards Walkaway and Dongara. Both are grain and livestock areas, with plenty of lifestyle lots closer to town. The Shire of Chapman Valley covers the valley itself; Greenough and Walkaway are part of the City of Greater Geraldton.
Farm tracks in the Midwest are often sandy or gravelly, and sandplain country can bog a truck after rain or where stock have churned the surface. Choose a firm, level spot near the main track, and make sure gates, grids and ramps are wide enough for a heavy vehicle.
Harvest brings a rush of storage needs — spare parts, oils, tarps and tools on the farm, and contractors wanting a secure store while they work the crop. A hire unit dropped ahead of harvest and collected afterwards often costs less than buying for a seasonal need.
North of the city, Northampton sits on the North West Coastal Highway among farms and old mining country, with Horrocks on the coast to the west and Kalbarri reached by a turnoff further north. Holiday homes, caravan parks and fishing businesses in those coastal towns want somewhere lockable for gear through the off-season, and a 10ft or 20ft fits most of those blocks.
