Built Around Honest Container Supply

L & N Johnson Pty Ltd is a family-owned Australian shipping container supplier run by Lena and Nathan since the year 2000. At L & N Johnson, we help customers find premium new and used shipping containers for home storage, rural farms, active construction worksites, expanding business stock, and custom personal projects.

We started this business because we believe buying a shipping container should not feel confusing or risky. Too often, buyers are stressed by unexpected logistics costs, unclear container condition grading, or unhelpful automated call loops. The team at L & N Johnson chose a different path: running our business with absolute clarity, personalized customer service, and straightforward pricing guidelines.

Our Mission

Our mission at L & N Johnson is to make container buying easier, safer, and completely transparent for customers across Australia. Whether you need a compact 10ft container for a tight residential site, our popular 20ft shipping containers for trade tools, or a heavy-duty 40ft shipping container for large commercial stock, we help you choose the right size, grade, and delivery method for your location.

Trust and Customer Confidence

We understand that investing in heavy equipment online requires a high level of trust. That is why L & N Johnson provides itemized written quotes, accurate product condition summaries, and open communication every single step of the way before delivery day arrives. To ensure total confidence in the L & N Johnson brand, you can independently verify our registered business status through the Australian Government’s official ABN Lookup portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential Answers for Used Shipping Container Buyers

Shipping containers are painted in a wide variety of industrial colours. Green, blue, grey, red, and brown are the most common colors available in our inventory. Because our container allocations move quickly through our regional depots, colour availability changes from day to day. If you require a specific look, we offer professional custom painting services. You can even choose to paint your container to match standard Colorbond colours to beautifully blend in with your property layout.

While there are specialized container variants, the two standard transport options used worldwide are 20ft and 40ft units. A standard 20ft unit measures roughly 6.06m long, 2.44m wide, and 2.59m high. A standard 40ft unit measures 12.19m long, 2.44m wide, and 2.59m high. If you need extra headroom for large machinery or high vertical stacks, both sizes are available in High-Cube variations, which add an extra foot of vertical clearance to bring the overall exterior height to 2.89m.

Yes, absolutely. We only supply shipping containers that are carefully inspected by professional depot operators to ensure they meet strict quality baselines. Every used unit we clear for storage use is certified as Wind and Watertight (WWT). This guarantees that the structure is 100% leak-free, completely weather-sealed, and highly resistant to pests, vermin, and moisture buildup, keeping your stored assets completely safe.

Because used shipping containers spent years in international maritime transit, they will naturally show signs of wear and tear. This can range from superficial surface rust, scratches, and minor body dents to visible historical weld repairs. To help you match your budget to your structural needs, we grade our stock clearly into Cargo Worthy or Repainted units. If you require a pristine structural look with zero cosmetic flaws, we also offer New Build (One-Trip) units straight from the factory line.
