20 ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Container – Corten Steel, 24 Vents, 7.5 kN/m²

This 20 ft open mesh floor bunded container – Corten steel, 24 vents, 7.5 kN/m² combines a high-capacity bunded floor with a raised open mesh design rated for heavy industrial loads. The 7.5 kN/m² floor loading capacity handles demanding chemical storage applications . For example, you can store multiple IBCs, heavy drums, or industrial chemical containers while enjoying easy hose-out cleaning. Therefore, this unit delivers compliant, heavy-duty hazardous liquid storage with exceptional load-bearing capability.

Why Choose a 7.5 kN/m² Rated Open Mesh Floor?

Standard bunded containers often have lower load ratings that limit storage options . In contrast, this 7.5 kN/m² open mesh floor supports significantly heavier loads, making it ideal for industrial chemical operations . Consequently, you can store dense materials and multiple IBCs without floor damage concerns . Moreover, the open mesh design allows spills to drain directly into the bund below for easy cleanup . Thus, you gain both high load capacity and convenient maintenance.

Key Features of This Heavy-Duty Bunded Container

The 7.5 kN/m² load rating and open mesh floor make this container stand out. For instance, the floor withstands point loads from forklifts, pallet trucks, and heavy IBCs. Similarly, the 24 vents provide continuous cross-flow ventilation, reducing condensation and fume buildup . Furthermore, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance without requiring painting . Finally, integrally bunded sump includes removable floor panels for easy cleaning.

7.5 kN/m² Load Rating – What It Means

The 7.5 kN/m² load rating represents significant weight-bearing capacity for this bunded container. For example, 7.5 kN/m² equals approximately 765 kg per square metre (157 lbs per square foot) . Likewise, this rating supports forklifts, pallet trucks, multiple IBCs, and dense chemical drums . Furthermore, the open mesh design distributes loads evenly across the floor structure. If you store heavy industrial chemicals, this load rating meets demanding requirements.

Open Mesh Floor – Hose-Out Cleaning

The open mesh floor makes this container exceptionally easy to maintain for heavy chemical use. For example, the 5mm galvanised steel mesh panels allow spilled chemicals to drain through into the bund below . Likewise, removable mesh sections provide easy access to the bund for inspection and cleaning . Furthermore, you can simply hose down the floor after a spill, eliminating absorbent waste . If you frequently decant chemicals, this design reduces cleanup time and consumable costs.

24 Vents – Maximum Airflow for Hazardous Storage

The 24 vents eliminate condensation and fume buildup concerns in this bunded container. For example, the triple-screened vents prevent insect ingress while allowing continuous air circulation . Likewise, the high vent count eliminates condensation hotspots that can damage drum labels and accelerate corrosion . Furthermore, passive ventilation requires no power or ongoing maintenance . If you store volatile chemicals or moisture-sensitive materials, this 24-vent configuration provides exceptional safety.

300mm Bund – Secondary Spill Containment

The 300mm raised bund provides critical secondary containment for hazardous materials. For example, the bund capacity of approximately 1,800 litres exceeds the 110% requirement for two IBCs (2,000L total) plus 10% . Likewise, the fully welded steel construction eliminates weak points where leaks could escape . Furthermore, the bund floor integrates smoothly with the removable mesh panels . If you store diesel, chemicals, or oils, this bunded floor ensures you contain any spills safely.

Corten Steel – Built for Chemical Environments

Corten steel makes this container exceptionally durable for aggressive chemical 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 . Finally, a typical Corten steel container lasts 25+ years in outdoor conditions . Therefore, you can store hazardous chemicals without worrying about premature container failure.

20ft Dimensions – Compact Industrial Footprint

The 20ft length makes this heavy-duty bunded container ideal for industrial sites with space constraints. For example, the internal length accommodates 2 IBCs or up to 8 x 205L drums . Likewise, the compact 20ft footprint fits on loading docks, chemical storage areas, and industrial yards . If you need hazardous liquid storage with high load capacity in a compact space, this 20ft bunded container delivers.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 20ft Corten steel container with 300mm raised bund . Second, the open mesh floor (5mm galvanised steel, 7.5 kN/m² rated) comes with removable panels for cleaning . Third, 24 ventilation vents are factory-fitted (triple-screened) . Fourth, lockable double doors provide secure access . Finally, CSC certification and forklift pockets (4) complete the package.

For instance, you can add a heavy-duty removable ramp for drum trolley access. Likewise, you can add internal drum racks or IBC bunded pallets . Furthermore, we offer custom bund depths for extra containment capacity . Contact our team for custom configurations.
