20ft Dangerous Goods Storage Container with Bunded Floor

This 20ft dangerous goods storage container with bunded floor provides compliant, secure storage for Class 3 flammable and combustible liquids, chemicals, and hazardous materials . For example, you can store diesel, oils, chemical drums, or IBCs safely in this specialized container. Therefore, this unit meets strict environmental and safety regulations for hazardous material storage.

Why Choose a Bunded Dangerous Goods Container?

Standard storage containers cannot contain spills or leaks of hazardous materials. In contrast, this bunded container features a secondary containment floor that captures any leaks or spills safely . Consequently, you prevent ground contamination and comply with environmental regulations. Moreover, the container meets AS1940-2017 standards for flammable and combustible liquid storage . Thus, you gain both regulatory compliance and environmental protection.

Key Features of This Dangerous Goods Container

The bunded floor and safety systems make this dangerous goods container stand out. For instance, the galvanised grated floor includes a drainage system that collects any harsh chemicals safely, with a lockable stainless steel valve for easy cleaning . Similarly, ventilation grilles ensure proper airflow and prevent the accumulation of hazardous fumes . Furthermore, an internal emergency door release mechanism allows users to exit the container quickly if necessary . Finally, the container includes an earthing connection point to prevent static discharge .

Bunded Floor – Secondary Spill Containment

The bunded floor provides critical secondary containment for hazardous materials. For example, the floor features a 100-150mm deep sump with a removable drainage grate . Likewise, a 3-degree slope directs spilled liquids toward the drain valve for easy collection and disposal . Furthermore, the bund capacity ranges from approximately 1,100 litres to 2,950 litres, depending on configuration . If you store large volumes of hazardous liquids, this bunded floor ensures you contain any spills safely.

Ventilation and Fume Control

Proper ventilation is essential for dangerous goods storage safety. For example, the container features multiple IP55-rated ventilation grilles that maintain continuous airflow . Likewise, this ventilation prevents the accumulation of flammable or toxic vapours inside the container. Furthermore, some models include gas sensors that automatically activate exhaust fans when they detect a spill . If you store volatile chemicals, these ventilation systems significantly reduce fire and health risks.

Emergency Exit and Safety Features

User safety remains the highest priority for dangerous goods storage. For example, an internal emergency door release allows personnel to exit from inside the container . Likewise, luminescent decals mark the emergency exit for visibility in low-light conditions . Furthermore, you must install a safety shower if the quantity of flammable liquids exceeds 2,000 litres . If an employee accidentally gets locked inside, the internal release mechanism provides a safe escape route.

Compliance and Certification

This container meets multiple safety and transport standards. For example, AS1940-2017 covers the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids . Likewise, AS4326 and AS3780 address the storage of hazardous chemicals . Furthermore, the container complies with IMO, ADR, and IMDG Code for dangerous goods transport . If you need certified hazardous material storage, this container includes compliance documentation upon request .

20ft Dimensions and Capacity

The 20ft length provides substantial storage capacity for dangerous goods. For example, the internal dimensions measure approximately 5,984mm long x 2,248mm wide x 2,586mm high . Likewise, the bund capacity reaches up to 2,950 litres for spill containment . Furthermore, the container supports a payload of approximately 16,000 kg . If you need bulk storage for hazardous materials, this 20ft configuration handles large volumes safely.
