20 ft High Cube Container – IBC Storage, Corten Steel, CSC Plated

This 20 ft high cube container – IBC storage, Corten steel, CSC plated provides dedicated, secure storage for Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), holding up to four 1,000-litre units in a compact 20ft footprint. For example, you can store chemicals, oils, food-grade liquids, or industrial fluids safely inside this high cube container. Therefore, this unit maximises vertical space while providing full IBC capacity.

Why Choose a High Cube IBC Storage Container?

Standard 20ft containers restrict access for stacking IBCs due to limited internal height . In contrast, this high cube container (9ft 6in exterior, approx. 8ft 10in interior) provides the extra headroom needed for four-way forklift access to stacked IBCs . Consequently, you can store up to four IBCs – double the capacity of standard height containers . Moreover, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance without requiring painting . Thus, you gain maximum IBC density in a standard 20ft footprint.

Key Features of This IBC Storage Container

The high cube height and IBC-optimised design make this container stand out. For instance, the 8ft 10in interior height allows comfortable access for four-way forklifts loading stacked IBCs . Similarly, the 28mm marine ply floor supports heavy IBC loads up to 26,000 kg total payload . Furthermore, the CSC safety plate confirms structural integrity for intermodal shipping . Finally, the lockable double doors provide secure access for loading and unloading operations.

IBC Storage Capacity – 4 IBCs in 20ft

This 20ft container holds up to four 1,000-litre IBCs efficiently. For example, you can arrange 2 IBCs side by side in the width and 2 deep in the length . Likewise, the high cube height allows safe stacking of IBCs (if permitted for your product) or provides clearance for forklift tines . Furthermore, the internal configuration allows easy access to each IBC without moving others . If you store bulk liquids in IBCs, this layout optimises both storage density and accessibility.

High Cube Height – Extra Vertical Space

The extra foot of height transforms what you can store in this IBC container. For example, the internal height of approximately 8ft 10in (2,695mm) easily accommodates 1,000-litre IBCs (typically 1,200mm height) with room for forklift tines . Likewise, tall operators can stand upright comfortably during loading operations. Furthermore, the extra height improves air circulation, reducing condensation on stored IBCs . If you handle IBCs regularly, this high cube design makes loading and unloading significantly easier.

Corten Steel Construction – Built for Chemical Storage

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for outdoor IBC storage. First, the weathering steel (grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time . Second, this patina prevents deeper corrosion, even in aggressive chemical environments . Third, the steel requires no painting or ongoing maintenance under normal conditions . Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions . Therefore, you can store chemical IBCs without worrying about premature container failure.

CSC Plated – Ready for Transport Anywhere

The CSC plate confirms that this container meets international safety standards for shipping. For example, the plate certifies that the container has passed structural tests for stacking, lifting, and floor strength . Likewise, the CSC certification allows legal transport of IBC-filled containers on ships, trains, and trucks . If you need to relocate filled IBCs, this certification makes transport possible . Thus, you gain flexibility for both static storage and intermodal transport.

The 28mm Marine Ply Floor – Built for Heavy IBC Loads

The marine ply floor handles heavy IBC loads with ease. For example, the 28mm thickness provides exceptional strength for IBCs weighing up to 1,200 kg each when filled . Likewise, the WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive resists moisture penetration from chemical spills . Furthermore, the tongue-and-groove construction creates seamless coverage across the entire floor . As a result, you can store four filled IBCs (up to 4,800 kg total) without worrying about floor failure.

20ft Dimensions – Compact IBC Storage Footprint

The 20ft length makes this IBC storage container ideal for chemical warehouses and industrial sites. For example, the internal length of approximately 19ft 4in comfortably accommodates 2 IBCs in length . Likewise, the internal width of approximately 7ft 8in-7ft 9in holds 2 IBCs side by side . If you need compact IBC storage that maximises vertical space, this 20ft high cube container delivers the perfect solution.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 20ft high cube Corten steel container . Second, the CSC safety plate comes affixed and valid . Third, the 28mm marine ply floor is pre-fitted . Fourth, lockable double doors with heavy-duty locking rods and padlock hasps provide security . Finally, forklift pockets (4) allow easy repositioning.

For instance, you can add internal IBC spill containment bunding . Likewise, you can add ventilation vents for condensation control . Furthermore, a full repainting service is available in any RAL colour . Contact our team for bulk orders.
