FAQs About 10ft Containers
10ft containers are a mid-compact shipping container size, popular on sites that need more storage than an 8ft container offers but can't fit a 20ft unit. They're commonly used for site storage, small site offices, lunchrooms and modifications where a tighter footprint is preferred. United Rentals sells 10ft containers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and regional locations. Learn more about 10ft containers in our FAQ section below.
10ft containers are used for site storage, small offices and converted facilities where space is limited but more room than an 8ft container is needed. Common applications include tool and parts stores, compact site offices, small lunchrooms, ablutions blocks and dangerous goods stores. They're also a practical choice for residential or rural storage where access for a larger container is difficult.
10ft containers offer roughly twice the floor area of an 8ft container, making them more practical for fit-outs like offices or lunchrooms. Compared to a 20ft container, they use about half the site footprint, which matters on tight or congested sites. The right size comes down to how much internal space you need, how much site space you have and how the container will be used.
Yes. 10ft containers are built to the same standards as other shipping containers, with corrugated steel walls, a sealed floor and lockable steel doors. They're suitable for outdoor storage in Australian conditions and can be fitted with high-security lock boxes for added security. Door seals and the roof should be inspected periodically to maintain long-term weatherproofing.
