Shipping containers Tara, Weranga and Kumbarilla

Getting a container to Tara

What you can buy here

10ft, 20ft and 40ft — general purpose, high cube, side opening, refrigerated and dangerous goods — in new single-trip, cargo-worthy used or as-is, to buy. Delivered to Tara and the district around it. Hire is by enquiry only — see the questions below.

How you get a delivered price

Send the form below or ring 1300 467 776. The container and the cartage to your address come back as one figure from a person — nothing on this page calculates it.

What we need from you

The delivery suburb or postcode, what is going in it, roughly when, and ideally three photos of the entry. We would sooner spend a few extra minutes on the spec than sell you the wrong box.

What changes availability and delivery

Which yard is holding the size and grade you want, the truck your site can take — the site and the carrier decide that, not the container — and what is already travelling that way. Timing on this page is indicative; the actual date comes with the quote.

Cornubia is the only yard you can walk into — ring first. Everywhere else, ask for photographs of the actual unit before delivery, or inspection by arrangement at a partner depot.

What people use containers for here

Possible container uses around Tara include fencing gear, tools and spare parts on grazing blocks around Tara, a lockable store on holdings at Weranga and Kumbarilla where the shed is small or still unbuilt, pump and water fittings kept together instead of in three sheds, machinery parts and workshop overflow, and building materials held dry while work on the place proceeds at the pace the property allows.

Truck, ground and clearance

The highway leg toward Tara is the part a map understands. The delivery is decided after the formed road loosens its grip, on the private track that continues to the shed. Weranga and Kumbarilla are the same kind of job as town approaches that leave the bitumen: a grid at the boundary, a gate that looked wide from the ute, a section that softens after rain, and a turnaround that may or may not exist once a rigid truck is the vehicle in question. A tilt-tray needs to sit square on firm ground. Where that is available in a straight run, it is the ordinary truck. Where the container has to travel past a soft patch or finish somewhere the truck should not stand, a crane from a firm setup position is the alternative, and it still needs ground that will take outriggers. On a run this long there is a third option, and it is not a surprise saved for the gate. A flat-top, with your own machine doing the unload, happens only when the carrier has agreed the machine, the lifting method and the capacity before the truck leaves Cornubia. Photographs that help are specific: the grid or the entrance, the gate at its narrowest, the soft or doubtful section, and the place you want the container, plus a note on where a truck could turn. If the grid has a rating, send it. If it does not, say so. Unknown is a plan we can make. Unknown discovered on the day is a truck sitting at your boundary with the container still on it.

What delivery to Tara costs

Distance sets part of the delivery cost and the truck your site needs sets the rest. We work both out when we quote the unit.
