Flat Pack Chemical Store 3×2 Metre

Product Description

Our chemical store is delivered in flat pack form allowing you to locate and assemble the unit on otherwise difficult access areas. The units come complete with a sump and suspended floor grate and have optional ‘snap-in’ shelf uprights and arms to hold sump shelves.

Our flat pack chemical storage containers are ideal for storing batteries, paints, oils, lubricants and compressed gasses, or any hazardous chemicals in those hard to reach places where a rigid or articulated delivery vehicle couldn’t possibly get to offload a ‘regular’ chemical storage container.

Being flat-packed, this unit has become one of the most popular bunded chemical stores in the UK.

The unit comes with a suspended wire mesh floor atop a 904-litre bund with high and low positioned vents. The bund will contain spills, helping to avoid ground and ground water contamination, whilst the vents allow fumes/gases to vent freely out of the store.

This is a unit that is very cost-effective and cheaper than many other solutions on the market.

These flat pack chemical store units are supplied new ex-factory and are quick and easy to install and, for the quality, come in at an exceptional price. The strong profiled steel stores are manufactured in Galvanised steel for long life and feature a double locking system for added security.

The floor has a sump chassis base with suspended floor grate which has a standard 1000KG load capacity.

A protective power coated finish on the doors and the sump base is also included in the cost! – Red RAL3000 as pictured.

The roof section of the man-portable building has two integral gutters for effective rainwater dispersal to all four corners of the container. Unfortunately, these units are not fire rated due to the fact they are flat pack constructions.

If you need to move the container on-site, the unit can be lifted using a set of lifting eyes, even when the unit is loaded.

As your demand for chemical storage increases, you can add a further unit to your existing bunded container using one of our linking kits. Units of the same size can be linked together using either a short-end linking kit or a long-side linking kit. This really does offer superb flexibility at the fraction of the price of having additional building works done to make a larger chemical store.

Our shelving guide is designed to assist you in selecting the right number of shelving uprights and arms to suit the weight (UDL) per shelf that you require.

Please note that the weight range for this shelving is 30 – 60kg UDL per shelf – UDL is Uniform Distributed Load.

The shelves are sump shelves, designed to capture any leaks. The shelf uprights are the vertical supports that hold the shelf arms in place onto which, you place your sump shelves.

The shelf uprights simply snap into place so, no need to drill holes in the unit.

The maximum number of shelves that can be accommodated per pair of uprights is three.

For both the 1000 and 1900mm shelves, you’ll need two shelf uprights per shelf and 2 shelving arms when storing 30kg UDL per shelf. For storage of 45kg UDL, you’ll need three shelf uprights and three shelf arms per shelf. And, for storage of 60kg UDL per shelf, you’ll need four uprights and four shelf arms per shelf.

Prices

Shelf uprights – £18.00 each

Shelf arms – £10.00 each

Sumped shelf (1000mm) – £28.00 each

Sumped shelf (1900mm) – £45.00 each

So, for 1-tier of 1000mm shelving you’ll need 2 x shelving uprights, 2 x shelving arms and 1 x 100mm shelf. This will cost 2 x £18.00 + 2 x £10.00 + £28.00 = £84.00.
