20ft Bunded Container – Flammable Liquids Store, Used

A 20ft Dangerous Goods Container Built Around Containment

With flammables and hazardous liquids, the container is not a convenience — it is part of your compliance position. This 20ft dangerous goods shipping container is built for that role, with a bunded floor to catch leaks and safety features aimed at controlling spills, vapors, and ignition risk. For a site holding diesel, oils, solvents, or Class 3 flammables, consolidating that stock into one purpose-built unit means fewer scattered liabilities and a far simpler conversation during an inspection.

Twenty feet is a sensible working size for this job. It holds a serious quantity of drums, IBCs, and packaged product while staying compact enough to position on a working yard, a mine site, or a farm without swallowing the space. Mining crews, agricultural operations, manufacturers, and contractors all use this format for the same reason: it puts the risky stock in one controlled, lockable footprint.

Fuel, Solvents, and Agrochemicals on a Working Site

These units get bought because a regulator, an insurer, or a near miss made the current arrangement untenable.

• Bulk diesel and lubricant storage on industrial sites
• Paint, solvent, and chemical holding for manufacturers
• Flammable goods management on mining and quarry sites
• Agricultural fuel and agrochemical storage
• Secure, segregated hazardous-materials compounds

Siting, Separation, and Local Requirements

Placement is a regulatory decision as much as a practical one. Separation distances from buildings, boundaries, drains, and ignition sources are set by your local fire and environmental authorities, and they should shape where the unit goes before a truck is booked. Set it on level bearing so the bund sits true and drains as designed, keep the approach clear for a tilt-bed drop, and record the unit in your site's hazardous materials inventory. Delivery is a flat $500 to all 50 states, scheduled after the order is confirmed and quoted by route. For smaller volumes, the 9ft hazardous goods store covers the same need in a shorter body. Other purpose-built units are grouped in the specialized container listings, converted formats sit under modified containers, and you can describe your storage requirement to us before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bunded floor actually do?

It creates a sealed sump beneath the storage area so that a leaking drum or a split IBC is captured inside the container instead of running onto the ground or into a drain. That containment is usually the specific feature an environmental inspector looks for when hazardous liquids are stored outdoors.

How far from other buildings should it be placed?

Separation distances are set by your local fire code and environmental regulator, and they vary with the substances and quantities involved. Establish those requirements before you decide on a location, because moving a hazardous goods store after it is commissioned and stocked is far more disruptive than siting it correctly at the outset.

Can it store several different chemicals together?

Only if those substances are compatible. Segregation rules exist because some materials react dangerously when a spill brings them into contact. Work from the safety data sheets for everything you intend to store, and if incompatible classes are involved, plan for separate units rather than dividing one interior.
