Engineered for Dangerous Goods
Built for high-risk environments, the unit features a galvanised bunded floor with integrated grated panels and a drain valve. This system captures and contains leaks, making it easier to clean and compliant with environmental regulations. The floor is corrosion-resistant and durable, designed to withstand heavy industrial use.
Ventilated for Safety
Multiple side vents promote natural airflow to reduce the risk of hazardous fume build-up inside the container. A glow-in-the-dark internal emergency exit release ensures safe egress if the doors are closed unexpectedly, supporting WHS best practices.
Optimised Access and Functionality
With full bi-fold side doors and standard double end doors, this container offers flexible, full-length access for forklifts, manual handling, or racking systems. It’s particularly suited to sites handling bulky or palletised stock, or those requiring rapid access and stock rotation.
Regulation Ready
Supplied with compliant dangerous goods signage and an external earthing connection point for safe site setup. Designed in accordance with AS 1940:2017, it supports the storage of flammable and combustible liquids (Class 3) as well as compatible hazardous materials requiring bunded containment and ventilation.
Built for Industrial Sites
Constructed from marine-grade steel and designed for secure stacking, the container withstands harsh outdoor conditions. It’s lockable, weatherproof, and robust enough for remote mining, energy, and construction environments.
