With over 15 years of experience, Heartland Containers supplies weatherproof, secure storage containers in multiple sizes for sale or hire. Each unit is inspected for durability, security, and easy access, making them ideal for storing tools, equipment, stock, or personal belongings.
Running out of space? Need a secure, weatherproof storage option for tools, stock, or equipment? In New Zealand, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, a storage container offers a practical and affordable way to keep valuables safe—whether on-site, at home, or for business use.
Not all storage containers are built to last. Some have thin steel that dents easily, leaving them vulnerable to damage. Others have faulty door seals that let in dust, pests, and moisture, putting your items at risk. Poor ventilation can create condensation issues, leading to mould and corrosion over time. And without a strong locking system, your valuables are an easy target for theft. A substandard container doesn’t just fail to protect your goods—it creates more problems than it solves.
At Heartland Containers, we provide high-quality new and used storage containers built for durability. Each unit is inspected to ensure it’s weather-resistant, secure, and ready to protect your goods.
Overcrowded homes, cluttered business storage, and disorganised worksites make it difficult to keep things accessible and protected. Without proper storage, tools, materials, and stock can be misplaced or damaged. Off-site storage facilities may offer extra space but come with ongoing costs and limited access.
A storage container provides instant, on-site storage, keeping items organised, secure, and easy to access. Available in different sizes, they suit small, medium, or large storage needs, whether for hiring or purchase.
Theft and vandalism are common concerns when storing equipment, stock, or personal items in sheds, garages, or open spaces. Weak doors, poor locks, and thin materials make break-ins easy. Many traditional storage options lack reinforced security.
A shipping container offers strong steel walls, heavy-duty doors, and advanced locking options to keep stored goods safe. Lockboxes, security bars, and reinforced doors add extra protection against unauthorised access.
Rain, humidity, and extreme temperatures cause rust, mould, and material deterioration. Items stored in poorly built structures or outdoors are exposed to the elements, leading to costly damage. Moisture buildup inside storage spaces can also create condensation issues.
A weatherproof container shields contents from harsh conditions, keeping them dry and protected year-round. With options like insulation, ventilation, and moisture-control features, containers provide an ideal storage environment.
Finding flexible storage options is a challenge—rented units require monthly payments and travel time, while permanent structures need high upfront costs and space. Some businesses or worksites only need storage for a limited period, making permanent options impractical.
Container hire offers a temporary, cost-effective option with the flexibility to return it when no longer needed. For long-term storage, purchasing provides full ownership and resale value, making it a worthwhile investment.
Looking for a secure, weatherproof storage solution? At Heartland Containers, we offer containers for sale, hire, and modification. Get in touch today to find the right option for you.
Whether you need short-term storage or a long-term option, a storage container is a practical alternative to warehouse rentals, sheds, and other storage options. Here’s why it’s worth considering.
Container hire is a cost-effective choice for short-term storage, while purchasing removes ongoing fees. Over time, owning a container can be more economical than renting an off-site unit.
Built from high-grade steel, shipping containers last decades with minimal upkeep. Unlike wooden sheds or temporary structures, they don’t require constant repairs, saving money over time.
A container retains value over time. Container modification allows it to be repurposed into a workshop, site office, or secure storage, offering flexibility and resale potential.
Adding shelving, lighting, roller doors, or insulation can extend a container’s usability, turning it into a fully practical workspace or better-organised storage unit.
Looking for an affordable storage option? Heartland Containers offers purchase, hire, and modification options to match your needs.
Not all storage containers are the same. Whether you need one for short-term hire, long-term storage, or custom modifications, choosing the right type is crucial.
New containers offer better durability and weather resistance.
Used containers are more affordable and suit temporary or modified storage. Check for rust, dents, and seal issues when buying used.
40ft containers suit bulk storage, 20ft containers offer versatile space, and 10ft containers fit tight areas. Choose based on storage needs and access frequency.
Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup, while insulation stabilises temperatures for sensitive items. Lockboxes, security bars, and heavy-duty doors keep stored goods safe.
Before hiring or buying, ensure your site is level, accessible for delivery trucks, and free from obstructions. Depending on placement, a tilt tray or crane may be required for setup.

The cost of a storage container in New Zealand varies based on condition. Used containers typically range from $2,200 to $3,200, while new containers cost between $3,750 and $6,000.
Pricing depends on size, condition, and container modification. New containers provide maximum durability and weather resistance, while used containers offer a cost-effective alternative with the same strong steel construction.
At Heartland Containers, our on-site engineers inspect every unit before we send it out to ensure it meets our quality standards. We also provide container delivery to your site or secure storage at our facility if needed.
Before purchasing, we recommend you review the security of your location to keep your container and belongings well-protected.
To prevent condensation in a storage container, make sure it has proper ventilation, like vents or whirlybirds, to keep air flowing. Using moisture absorbers like silica gel or desiccants helps reduce humidity inside.
Insulating the container with foam or specialised linings can also prevent temperature changes that cause condensation. At Heartland Containers, we offer ventilation and insulation options to keep your stored items dry and protected.
Whether you need planning permission for a storage container on your property depends on local regulations and its intended use. Before placing a container, completing the action of checking with your local council helps ensure compliance with zoning and permit requirements.
Proceeding with positioning the container in a suitable location, such as away from property boundaries or public view, can help avoid potential restrictions. At Heartland Containers, we always recommend verifying local rules to ensure a hassle-free setup.
Storage containers are designed to be rodent-proof and pest-resistant, but a few precautions can help keep them completely secure. Like a warehouse, a well-sealed container prevents pests from getting in by blocking any small entry points.
If an issue does arise, respond quickly by keeping the space clean and storing items properly can help prevent infestations. At Heartland Containers, our wind and watertight containers provide strong protection against pests and the elements.
The cost difference between renting and buying a storage container depends on size, condition, and rental duration.
Renting starts at around $150 per month, making it a low-cost option for short-term use. Buying requires a higher upfront investment, with used containers starting from $2,200 and new containers ranging from $3,750 to $6,000.
Renting offers flexibility without long-term commitment, while buying provides full ownership, customisation options, and long-term cost savings. If you need a container for several months or longer, purchasing may be more economical.
