Built for the secure storage and transport of hazardous materials, this 20ft bunded container provides a primary containment system for spill management. Its design focuses on compliance with dangerous goods regulations, making it a practical solution for facilities handling chemicals, flammable liquids or other regulated substances. It is engineered to take heavy industrial use while protecting the stored materials and the surrounding environment.
Key Features
- Integrated bunded floor: A liquid-tight containment area captures potential leaks or spills from stored hazardous goods to prevent environmental contamination.
- Compliant design: Engineered to ISO standards for dimensional and structural integrity, supporting intermodal transport by sea, road or rail.
- Ventilation system: Multiple vents allow continuous airflow to help disperse fumes and reduce condensation inside.
- Secure lockable access: A multi-point locking system integrated into the door mechanism guards against unauthorized access.
- Durable construction: Corrosion-resistant steel, such as Corten, withstands harsh weather and repeated handling and transport.
The 20ft Hazardous Goods Bunded Container differs from a standard dry van container in that its main job is to reduce the risks of handling dangerous goods. Its defining feature is the bunded floor, a critical safety barrier: if a drum or container leaks during storage or transit, the bund holds the liquid within its volume and stops it escaping into the environment.
Made from high-tensile steel, the container is engineered for structural reliability and can be stacked when loaded to maximize storage efficiency in depots or on vessels. External surfaces are treated to resist corrosion for long-term durability, and ventilation grilles are a standard safety feature, promoting the air exchange that helps manage fumes and maintain interior conditions.
Technical specifications: external dimensions (L x W x H) are approximately 20ft x 8ft x 8ft 6in (6.06m x 2.44m x 2.59m), with internal dimensions of approximately 19ft 4in x 7ft 8in x 7ft 10in (5.90m x 2.35m x 2.39m). Internal capacity is approximately 1,170 ft³ (33.1 m³). Maximum gross weight is up to 24,000 kg to 26,000 kg depending on certification, and tare weight is approximately 3,850 kg (8,490 lbs). The bunded floor depth is designed to contain leaks, with the specific depth meeting regulatory guidelines. The material is corrosion-resistant steel (e.g. Corten), and the unit is manufactured to meet the relevant ISO standards for freight containers.
This container is intended for industrial and commercial applications requiring compliant storage or transport of hazardous materials, suiting a range of classes including flammable liquids, corrosives and other dangerous goods. Typical users include chemical manufacturers, industrial processing facilities, waste management companies, and defence or logistics operations handling sensitive materials. Compatibility with specific chemical classes should always be verified against the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and current regulations.
The package includes one 20ft Hazardous Goods Bunded Container, a standard multi-point locking door system, integrated ventilation grilles, and a manufacturer's data plate with the relevant certification marks.
When a 20ft Bunded Container Is the Right Chemical Store
Once you are storing regulated liquids in any quantity, containment stops being optional. A 20ft bunded container is a full-size ISO shell with a liquid-tight bund built into the floor, so a leaking drum or a knocked-over can is caught inside the unit rather than finding its way to the ground, a drain, or a watercourse. That is the entire design brief, and everything else follows from it.
The advantage over a smaller chemical cabinet is simply capacity and handling. You get roughly 150 square feet of floor, room for drums on pallets, and door access wide enough that a pallet truck or forklift can place them, which makes proper segregation practical rather than aspirational.

Dangerous Goods Storage Applications
The unit suits any operation that has moved past a cabinet in the corner of the workshop and needs a standalone, lockable store that regulators will take seriously.
- Bulk drum storage of solvents, fuels, and lubricants
- Agricultural chemical stores holding pesticides and treatments
- Manufacturing sites segregating incompatible substance classes
- Waste transfer and quarantine storage awaiting licensed disposal
- Coatings and adhesives storage at fabrication or joinery workshops
- Utility and infrastructure depots holding oils and transformer fluids
Sump Sizing, Segregation, and Regulatory Homework
The two questions inspectors ask most are how much the bund holds and what is stored next to what. As a working rule, containment capacity should exceed the largest single vessel in the store, and incompatible classes — oxidizers with flammables, acids with bases — should not share a compartment. Beyond that, separation distances, signage, spill kits, electrical classification, and inventory records are set by your fire code and environmental regulator, and they differ by state and by substance. Confirm requirements before ordering rather than after the unit lands. On site, place it on level, impermeable ground away from drains, and allow the container length plus roughly 40 feet of approach for delivery. For smaller volumes see the 9ft hazardous goods store, and for conversion options look at 20ft bunded store conversions. Related units are grouped in the specialized containers category alongside the wider 20ft container range, and standard dimensions are listed on our specifications page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much liquid will the bund hold?
Bund capacity varies with the build, so ask for the figure on the unit you are quoting and check it against your inventory. The common regulatory benchmark is that containment must hold more than the largest single container stored, and some jurisdictions require a percentage of total stored volume instead. Verify which rule applies to you.
Can it still be transported with goods inside?
The shell keeps the ISO envelope and corner castings, so it transports like a standard 20-footer. Moving it loaded with hazardous materials is a different question entirely and is governed by dangerous goods transport rules, placarding, and carrier requirements. In almost every case it is simpler and safer to empty the store before relocating it.
Does it come with ventilation suitable for flammables?
Multiple vents are fitted to keep air moving and disperse vapor, which suits general chemical storage. If you are storing flammables in quantity, your code may additionally require specified air-change rates, explosion-relief provisions, or rated electrical fittings.
