ContainerSpace

What ContainerSpace does

ContainerSpace is a privately owned Australian shipping container sales, storage, repair, and modification service operating from a single site at 465-467 Somerville Road, Brooklyn, Victoria, approximately 10 minutes from the Port of Melbourne. The company sells new, used, and refurbished containers in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes, including refrigerated (reefer) and specialised configurations, and provides ancillary services such as custom modifications (doors, windows, ventilation, painting, structural changes), repairs to international shipping line standards, inspections with CSC certification, reefer pre-trip inspections, and empty container storage for shipping lines and leasing companies. Its operational technology comprises an on-site workshop for welding, fabrication, and refurbishment, supported by a sustainable facility design incorporating passive solar, water harvesting, LED lighting, and CBUS electrical control systems, with logistics integrated via the 1-Stop Vehicle Booking System.

The company serves a diversified customer base spanning industrial and commercial businesses (manufacturing, transport, retail), individual consumers and property owners (for storage, tiny homes, granny flats), shipping lines and leasing companies (for storage and repairs), and hospitality and retail businesses (for pop-up cafes, bars, and exhibitions). Revenue is generated through one-time container sales (AUD $2,000-$6,000+ depending on size and condition), recurring storage contracts at competitive rates, project-based modification and repair work, and ancillary services such as CSC certification (AUD $80-$150 per unit). The go-to-market is primarily direct sales through the Brooklyn yard, phone enquiries, online quote requests, and same/next day delivery across Victoria via an extensive transport operator network, supplemented by content marketing, SEO, and organic social media presence on Facebook and Pinterest.
