Grades matter, and this is where a cheap container gets expensive. Cargo-worthy is the grade we check wind and watertight before it leaves the depot. As-is units are cheaper again and are not sold watertight — they may carry a patched repair, a soft spot in the floor or a door seal that no longer seats, and we will tell you exactly what is wrong with one before you buy it. New single-trip units are generally in better cosmetic condition, but can have marks from their first journey. If a container has to keep rain off what is inside it, buy cargo-worthy or better.

Heat, dust and the grade that earns its money

Goldfields summers are hot and dry, and winter nights are cold. That swing can cause condensation inside any container, so ventilation matters for sensitive contents. Rain is rare, but when a storm comes through it can be heavy, and red dust gets into anything that is not sealed. For samples, electrical equipment, documents and tools, buy cargo-worthy, which is checked wind and watertight before it leaves the depot, or new single-trip.

As-is units are cheaper and are not sold watertight. For drill rods, steel, spare tyres or items that already live outdoors, they can be the sensible buy. We tell you what is wrong with an as-is unit before quoting, so you can judge whether it matters for your load.

Core trays, racking and the case for a 40ft

Exploration companies storing core and samples tend to run out of floor before they run out of height, which makes a 40ft on a level yard the strongest value per haul: the same trip east, twice the floor of a 20ft. Where the stack goes high on racking, a high cube adds a foot of clearance. For a house block in Somerville or Boulder, a 20ft is usually the practical ceiling, and a 10ft suits a narrow side yard.

Think about the next twelve months, not just the current job. If a second container is likely, putting both on the one truck from Fremantle costs far less than two separate hauls. A container that turns up in the wrong corner of a lease is just as costly: moving it means another truck, another induction and another bill.

Access and ground conditions at Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Most of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is flat, and yards in the industrial areas usually have hardstand and wide gates, which suits a tilt-tray. The fine red dust is not a problem when dry, but the occasional heavy storm can turn unsealed yards and tracks to slippery clay for a while afterwards. Older residential blocks in Kalgoorlie and Boulder can have narrow side access, carports and fences close together, so a side-loader or crane truck may be needed. Anything on a mine site, lease or exploration camp comes with the site's own access, induction and safety rules; give us a site contact and any requirements with the order, and never assume a standard truck can go through a mine gate without clearance. Photos of the gate, the approach and the spot help us confirm the vehicle before we quote.

Three things decide every delivery anywhere: width at the pinch point, length of the run-in, and what hangs above the spot. Measure the first, pace the second, look up for the third. See the access and delivery guide.
