Hazardous chemical storage containers are popular across many industries. They provide a safe and secure space to store hazardous and dangerous chemicals. While we offer a standard spec for our 10ft chemical stores this is just based on what has been popular. These units are made to order and can be customised to suit your project or site. It is your responsibility to ensure that the spec meets the requirements for storing your substances.
Flat pack storage containers and chemical stores are also available. Although not as strong as these shipping containers they are beneficial if youâre trying to get a container into a tight area.
Flooring Options
We have two standard flooring options for a chemical store. Both options are designed to catch and hold any spilt liquids. They are also made to be easy to clean if there are any spills, as they come with a drain plug by the container doors.
Both floor types will have a small lip / step up into container.
Chequer Plate Bund
This flooring replaces the standard container floor. It is easy to clean up in event of any spillages. A lip is fitted around the base of the container and a swill area is created for spilt liquid to pool.
Raised Mesh Bund
Similarly to the chequer plate flooring, this is easy to clean up and will hold any spilt liquid in the bund under the mesh grate. This option means that there is not pools of spilt chemicals sitting in the container that people might step on. The liquids will pass through the grate and be caught underneath. It can then be drained through the plug by the container doors.

Ventilation
As standard we will fit four 300mm x 300mm louvre vents in a 10ft chemical store. Two are fitted at high level and two at low level, allowing any gases to escape if necessary.
We can fit different amounts of vents, or different sized.
One Trip Shipping Container
As with all one trip containers, these have all done one trip over from China. They may have 1 or 2 small imperfections consistent with this initial trip, but all containers are checked on arrival so you are assured of a structurally sound unit. These containers come with our 12-month warranty against natural water or weather egress. More information on what to expect from a shipping container is available from our news article âWhat can you expect from a one trip shipping container.â
