Our team coordinates each stage to help keep container movements organised and minimise unnecessary delays.
20ft & 40ft Shipping Container Transport Melbourne
We provide 20ft and 40ft shipping container transport across Melbourne.
20ft Container Transport
20ft containers are commonly used for smaller-volume or heavier cargo shipments.
We can arrange 20ft container movements from the Port of Melbourne to warehouses, factories and customer sites, as well as empty container returns and export movements.
40ft Container Transport
VIRK also provides 40ft container transport in Melbourne, including standard and high-cube container movements.
Our team can coordinate 40ft container pickup, transport, delivery and empty return based on site access and unloading requirements.
Before transport, provide us with your container size, approximate weight, pickup location, delivery address and unloading requirements so we can determine the appropriate equipment.

Depending on your requirements, we can assist with:
- Port container collection
- Warehouse delivery
- Sideloader delivery
- Live unloading
- Container storage
- Empty container collection

Once your goods have been unloaded, we can also arrange the movement of the empty container to the nominated dehire depot.

A typical export container movement can include:
Empty Container Pickup → Customer Warehouse → Container Packing → Port Terminal Delivery
We coordinate transport scheduling around the required terminal and customer booking times.

Skel Container Transport
For customers with suitable container handling or unloading facilities, skel trailer transport can provide an efficient option for moving containers between the port, warehouse and depot.
Skel transport is commonly suitable for:
- Live-load and live-unload operations
- Warehouses with container handling equipment
- Port-to-warehouse transport
- Export container movements
- Empty container movements
Not sure whether you need a sideloader or skel trailer? Contact our operations team with your site and unloading details and we can help determine the appropriate transport method.
Empty Container Returns & Dehire
Container transport does not necessarily finish when the full container reaches your warehouse.
After unloading, the empty container generally needs to be returned to the nominated empty container depot within the required timeframe.
VIRK Transport Services can coordinate empty container pickups, relocations and dehire movements across Melbourne.
This gives customers a more complete transport solution:
Port Pickup → Full Container Delivery → Empty Pickup → Dehire Depot
Refrigerated Container Transport
We also provide transport solutions for refrigerated and temperature-controlled containers.
Reefer container movements require additional coordination because temperature-sensitive cargo may need appropriate power arrangements and careful scheduling.
Tell our team about your reefer container requirements when requesting a quote so we can confirm the appropriate transport solution.
Container Storage & Relocations
If your container arrives before your warehouse or delivery site is ready, storage may be required before final delivery.
VIRK Transport Services can assist with container storage and relocation requirements, subject to availability.
This can be useful when:
- The delivery site is not ready
- Warehouse bookings are delayed
- Containers need short-term storage
- Multiple containers are arriving for a project
- Delivery needs to be staged over several days
