20ft Hazardous Goods Bunded Container

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 unauthorised 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 maximise 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.
