The 9ft Hazardous Goods Store is a compact steel container made for the secure storage of hazardous materials. Built from modified ISO shipping container components, it gives facilities a dedicated, space-efficient option for compliant chemical storage, with construction focused on durability and function for industrial and commercial use.
Key Features
- Corrosion-resistant steel: Corten steel construction for a long service life across varied environments.
- Secondary containment: An integrated spill-containment sump captures leaks or drips.
- Factory ventilation: A factory-installed ventilation system helps minimize fume buildup.
- Lockable doors: Hinged doors with a lockbox for controlled, secure access.
- Weather-resistant design: Watertight, windproof seals protect contents from the elements.
- Forklift pockets: Built into the base for repositioning and transport.
- Compact 9-foot footprint: Suits locations where space is limited.
The 9ft Hazardous Goods Store is made from weathering steel, commonly called Corten, which forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the elements. This reduces ongoing maintenance and supports a long life in outdoor installations. The unit is configured specifically for hazardous material containment, with a spill-containment sump built into the floor structure to provide secondary containment in line with standard industry practice and to capture potential leaks from stored containers.
Ventilation is provided through passive venting or optional mechanical components, managing airflow to help prevent hazardous fumes accumulating inside. Access is through full-height hinged doors with a factory-fitted lockbox; the doors open to give clear access to stored materials, and the locking system is designed to prevent unauthorized entry. External surfaces receive protective coatings suited to industrial storage equipment, and all welding and joints are completed during modification to preserve structural integrity.
Technical specifications: external dimensions (L x W x H) are approximately 2743 mm x 2230 mm x 2205 mm (9 ft x 7.3 ft x 7.2 ft), with internal dimensions of approximately 8 ft 6 in x 6 ft 11 in x 7 ft 10 in, and a door opening (W x H) of approximately 6 ft 11 in x 7 ft 6 in. The material is Corten / weathering steel, with double-walled steel construction and welded joints. The floor is a Durbar floor or steel plate with a 4 in (100 mm) upstand, ventilation is via aluminum vent openings or a passive venting system, and the locking system is a factory-installed lockbox with a three-point door latch. Forklift pockets are integrated into the base for handling, the weight is approximately 1,985 lbs (900 kg), and spill containment is an integrated sump with a drainage tap.
The store suits materials that require secure containment, including flammable and combustible liquids in suitable containers, corrosive acids and alkalis in compatible receptacles, toxic substances needing isolation from general traffic, water-polluting materials requiring secondary containment, and chemical inventories in manufacturing, laboratory or industrial settings. It is aimed at facilities that need to keep hazardous materials separate from general operations and works well in remote locations, security-sensitive areas, or sites where a permanent chemical store is not practical.
For compatibility, the container accepts drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) up to 39 in (1,000 mm) wide, offers floor space for multiple 55-gallon drums or smaller containers, can take separately installed racking for organizing smaller containers, and works with standard forklift equipment via the base pockets.
The package includes one 9ft Hazardous Goods Store unit, a factory-fitted lockbox with keys, the integrated spill-containment sump, the standard ventilation configuration, base fork pockets, and the specified external protective coating.
A 9ft Hazardous Goods Store for Sites Without Room to Spare
Chemical storage rules do not scale down just because the site is small. A 9ft hazardous goods storage container gives you a dedicated, bunded, ventilated store for drums and cans on a footprint barely larger than a parking space, which is often the only way to separate hazardous stock from general storage on a compact yard.
The important features are the ones you cannot retrofit convincingly: the spill sump built into the floor structure, the factory ventilation that stops vapor concentrating, and a lockable door that keeps casual access out. Everything else is a steel box; those three things are what make it a hazardous goods store.

Chemical and Flammable Liquid Storage Applications
The unit suits operations that hold modest quantities of regulated material but still need proper separation, containment, and a locked door between the stock and everyone else.
- Paints, solvents, and thinners at a body shop or coatings facility
- Fuel, oils, and lubricants on a plant yard or fleet depot
- Agricultural chemicals, herbicides, and treatments on a farm
- Pool and water-treatment chemicals at a leisure or municipal site
- Laboratory and workshop reagents kept outside the main building
- Waste and quarantine storage awaiting licensed collection
Compliance Checks and Siting the Store
Treat the container as one part of a compliance package rather than the whole of it. Separation distances from buildings and boundaries, sump capacity relative to the largest vessel stored, signage, and any requirement for explosion-proof electrical fittings are all set by your local fire code and authority having jurisdiction, and they vary between states. Confirm those requirements before you order, and place the unit on level, impermeable ground where a spill cannot reach a drain. Allow the container length plus around 40 feet of straight approach and roughly 15 feet of overhead clearance for delivery. Larger volumes are better served by the 20ft hazardous goods bunded container, and there is a mid-size option in the 10ft bunded container. Other compact sizes are grouped under 6ft, 7ft and 8ft containers, with purpose-built units across the specialized container range. If you are unsure what your site needs, get in touch with our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bunded sump actually do?
It forms a sealed reservoir beneath the working floor. If a drum leaks or a can is knocked over, the liquid drops through the grated deck and is held in the sump instead of running out of the door and into the ground or a drain. Sump capacity should exceed the volume of the largest single vessel you store.
Is this unit certified for hazardous material storage?
It is built with the standard features expected of a chemical store: secondary containment, ventilation, and secure lockable access. Whether a specific installation satisfies your regulations depends on what you store, how much, and where the unit sits, which only your local fire marshal or environmental regulator can confirm. Check before you commit.
Can shelving or racking be added inside?
Yes, and for drums and small cans it is usually worth it. Bunded shelving, drum racks, and spill pallets can be specified during the build so they sit correctly over the sump rather than blocking it. Tell us what container sizes you store and roughly how many, and we will quote the fit-out.
