Shipping Containers

Shipping Containers are an effective and safe way to store and transport your furniture and goods at your leisure. You can save money by loading your container yourself then store it on your own property saving on rental costs and Transport fees. Hire and sale, prices for containers are quite reasonable and transport locally and interstate is cost effective. Safety of your goods is assured as only the most desperate thieves would take the time and effort to break into one of these highly secure containers. All depots have full security and are fully fenced.

Self loading of your container saves money by not paying for labour costs with a removalist, you are also assured that every effort is made to secure your valued possessions. You can even transport your car in the container another saving to your family. Containers come with a number of points to tie down your goods, containers are weatherproof and pervious to storm conditions as they are made for sea travel and its varied weather conditions. Purchase a container for overseas moves and be assured your furniture will arrive as you packed it.

Removalists in Australia due to the distances travelled will load three or four households in a semi to save on costs, this means you wait for your goods and should some of the other households have vermin or pests in their load you will have them also. Containers contain only what you put in them and go direct from one location to another, simple easy and fast. Containers can usually be delivered from to any location in Australia to any location within 3 - 5 days. Should you require storage for several weeks or months it is simple you have them stored at our depots without the need to unload and load again, another saving and the container storage rates are reasonable.

Insurance:

ACR can provide insurance cover for removalists loaded containers and also a B class cover for when you self load your container. ACR also carry 10 million public liability insurance Australia wide to cover ACR should anyone be hurt by the container or if it is involved in any sort of accident, this also keeps the local councils happy. Even if you are not using any of ACR services and your removalist has no insurance we can still cover you. Insurance cover must be booked and paid for prior to the arrival of your self move container or prior to a removalist starting a job.

Moving and storing your goods for a long period think about buying the container and save on hire costs, you can sell the container later and get some of the costs back, containers retain their resale value. Store your purchased container on your own land or at a friends and pay nothing for hire or storage. Once you move into your house use the container as a shed it is cheaper by far than buying and erecting a shed of a comparable size and it can be lifted into place over your house easily and economically.
