Chemical Storage Containers
Chemical storage containers are specialist units designed for the safe, compliant storage of hazardous substances and dangerous goods such as oils, fuels, paints and industrial chemicals. Built to meet COSHH requirements, they provide secure, ventilated and spill-contained environments for use across commercial and industrial sites.
Built from heavy-duty steel with reinforced flooring, these units ensure maximum durability and long-term performance. Compared to standard shipping containers, chem stores include specialist features such as spill containment and ventilation to safely store hazardous materials.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty steel construction with reinforced base
- Specialist sump flooring for spill containment
- Large vents to improve airflow and reduce fume build-up
- Secure double doors with locking bars and weather-sealed gaskets
- Multi-layer protective paint system for corrosion resistance
- Available in 8ft, with custom options possible in 10ft, 20ft, 30ft & 40ft sizes
Details
Every container is engineered with large ventilation panels to prevent the build-up of hazardous fumes. An integrated sump and drainage system provides effective spill containment and environmental protection.
A multi-layer anti-corrosion coating offers long-termresistance to chemical damage and weather exposure. For security and ease of access, each unit is fitted with double doors and high-strength locking mechanisms.
These features make our containers ideal for businesses needing a COSHH storage solution. Our chemical storage containers (also known as dangerous goods units) are readily available in 8ft. We also offer custom-built chemical storage units tailored to your exact requirements, from compact secure stores to large-scale hazardous materials storage facilities.
Bespoke chemical storage container options can be created from standard shipping container sizes, including 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft.
