About Shipping Containers Perth

Perth’s specialist container supplier for mining, construction, and commercial operations. Australian-owned since 2016.

A Local Operation Built for Industrial Perth

Shipping Containers Perth Pty Ltd was founded in 2016 to serve a specific gap in the WA market – industrial and commercial container customers who needed a supplier that actually understood their operations. Mining contractors needing fly-camp accommodation built to site spec. Construction principals needing site offices that arrived when scheduled, not when convenient. Commercial operators tired of being upsold containers they didn’t need and undersold the ones they did.

Ten years on, that’s still what we do. We’re not the biggest container company in Australia and we’re not trying to be. We’re the supplier that gets specified by experienced industrial buyers – the people running mining mobilisations, the project managers staging major civil works, the operations directors managing multi-site logistics – because we deliver the right container, to the right specification, on the date we committed to.

We hold stock in Perth. We modify in Perth. We deliver from Perth. The whole operation sits within Western Australia, with WA tradespeople, WA logistics, and WA accountability. That matters when something needs to be sorted at short notice on a Pilbara site – you’re not waiting for an east-coast call centre to escalate the issue.

What We Do

Why Industrial Buyers Choose Us

We hold real stock at a real depot

Not a website that takes orders and brokers from somewhere else. Come to our depot, inspect the actual unit being delivered, sign off before it leaves. The container you see is the container that arrives.

Pricing is transparent

Real prices listed on the website. No bait-and-switch on quote, no surprise delivery fees, no admin charges added at invoice. The number we give you is the number you pay.

Delivery timelines are real

2–7 business days for Perth metro, longer for regional WA depending on location. We don’t promise tomorrow when we know it’s Thursday. When we commit to a date, we hit it.

Compliance documentation is standard, not extra

Engineer-signed drawings, AS-standard certifications, electrical and plumbing sign-offs come with the container at no additional charge. You shouldn’t have to ask for the paperwork that proves the build is legitimate.

Direct support, not call centres

Phone calls go to people who actually know containers, mining sites, construction logistics, and the regulatory landscape in WA. No tickets, no escalations, no being told “someone will get back to you.”

Who We Work With

Our customer base spans the spectrum of industrial Perth:

  • Mining and resources operators – fly-camp accommodation, crib rooms, workshops, parts stores, and DG storage across Pilbara and Goldfields operations.
  • Tier-one and tier-two construction contractors – site offices, secure storage, ablutions, and project compounds for residential, commercial, civil, and infrastructure projects.
  • Government and infrastructure – local councils, state departments, utilities, and education sector projects requiring compliant container infrastructure.
  • Commercial and industrial businesses – retail, wholesale, distribution, and manufacturing operations using containers for storage, equipment, archives, and operational space.
  • Agriculture and primary industry – farms, viticulture, aquaculture, and pastoral operations across WA needing storage, refrigeration, and modified workspace.
  • Custom and specialty clients – architects, designers, hospitality operators, and creative projects needing container-based architecture and bespoke builds.

Our Operating Principles

Honest advice, even when it costs us a sale

If a 40ft will overserve your need, we’ll tell you to buy a 20ft. If hire is cheaper than purchase across your time horizon, we’ll quote hire. If a competitor genuinely offers a better fit for an unusual requirement, we’ll tell you that too. Returning customers are worth more than first-sale margin.

Build it like it’s our name on the door – because it is

Every modification, every delivery, every compliance certificate carries our name. We don’t subcontract the things that matter, and we don’t accept “near enough is good enough” on the things that get inspected.

Local accountability

When something goes wrong – and occasionally something will – it gets fixed locally, by people we employ, on a timeframe we control. No offshore manufacturer claiming it’s a freight problem. No interstate head office claiming it’s a local agent problem. The buck stops in Perth.

Visit the Depot

We encourage depot visits. Inspect available stock, look at modified units in progress, talk through your project with our team. No appointment required during depot hours, though calling ahead means we can have the right unit ready to show you.
