What we hire

Built for events, festivals and activations

Every unit arrives on site a finished space. Tell us what the event needs and we'll spec the container, the fit-out and the branding around it.

Red branded container bar with its serving hatch open at an outdoor event

Container bars

Roll-up serving hatch, bench, sink, shelving and lighting, with modular decking run out front. Locks down flat at the end of the night.

Open-side container fitted out as a branded product bar with counters and stools

Double-stack VIP decks

Two containers, stairs, handrails and a decked upper level - elevated hospitality with a view over the crowd.

Container Space Expotainer stand opened out with awning and branded flags

Expotainer™ activations

Our flagship pop-up. The side drops down into a deck and awning, so a sealed box becomes an open stand in under an hour.

Side-opening storage container with internal dividers and full-length access

Back-of-house storage

Side-opening containers for stock, chilled drinks, staging and gear. Forklift straight in along the full length of the opening.

Something else in mind?

Ticket booths, green rooms, media stations, merch shops, ablutions, generator housing. If it fits in a container, we can build it - and we'd like to.

How it works

On site, branded and open for business

One team handles the container, the fit-out, the wrap and the transport - so you're dealing with one supplier and one invoice.

Why Container Space

Event crews hire from us because nothing turns up half-finished

We've supplied containers to stadium events, festivals, trade shows and regional roadshows across the country. We know what bump-in day looks like, and we plan for it.

✓

18 depots nationwide - the unit comes from the closest yard, not from Auckland.

✓

Full-wrap branding - printed panels, vinyl wrap or signage boards fitted before it leaves us.

✓

Craned placement - tight stadium concourses and grass sites handled.

✓

Lockable and weathertight - steel construction, secure overnight, dry in any weather.

✓

One point of contact - from first call through to collection.

FAQ

Event hire questions

For a standard container with light fit-out, two to three weeks is usually plenty. Custom builds, full wraps and double stacks need six to eight weeks so we can get artwork approved and fabrication booked in.

Yes. Send us print-ready artwork and we will produce and fit printed panels, vinyl wrap or signage boards before delivery. We can also supply a template if you are designing from scratch.

Clear truck access and a firm, stable surface - compacted gravel, asphalt or concrete is ideal. Grass does fine in dry conditions, but we know about overhead lines, gradients or tight turns and we will plan the lift.

Fit-outs can include lighting, power outlets, distribution boards and sinks with tanks. You supply the feed on site - generator or mains - and we will make sure the unit is ready to connect.

We deliver nationwide from 18 depots between Kaitaia and Christchurch, including regional events in Northland, Gisborne, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay.

Often yes, particularly for custom builds. If you are running the same activation each season, buying usually works out cheaper than repeat hire - ask us to price both.
