Need compliant, high-clearance storage for 1,000L Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs)? Our 20ft High Cube Shipping Containers (9′ 6″ High) provide the critical extra foot of vertical clearance required to easily maneuver, lift, and store IBCs on bunded spill pallets.
Constructed from heavy-duty Corten steel, weather-resistant, and fully lockable, these containers are the ultimate secure chemical and liquid storage solution for UK industrial, agricultural, and commercial sites.

Standard 8ft 6in shipping containers often fall short when storing Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) on elevated spill bunds. Our 20ft High Cube Shipping Container provides an extra 1 foot (304 mm) of vertical headroom, standing at 9ft 6in high external.
This additional height is critical for industrial sites, chemical processors, and farms that require fluid clearance to operate forklifts and position 1,000-litre IBC tanks onto regulatory spill containment bunds safely.

Calculated Headroom for Spill Bunds: Storing liquids in the UK requires adherence to Environmental Agency pollution prevention guidelines. Placing standard IBCs (typically 1,160 mm high) onto a standard bund (typically 400–500 mm high) leaves almost no working space in standard containers. The bunded ibc shipping container solves this clearance bottleneck completely.
Forklift Accessibility: The tall door aperture (8 ft 5 in high) gives forklift operators maximum visibility and clearance when loading heavy liquid totes.
Heavy-Duty Corten Steel Construction: Built from anti-corrosive Corten steel, engineered to withstand harsh UK weather and chemical environments.
Enhanced Security: Fitted with a high-security lockbox over the double doors to prevent forced entry.

How many standard 1,000L IBCs fit inside a 20ft container?
A standard 20ft shipping container can comfortably fit 8 to 10 standard 1,000L IBC tanks placed on the floor (4 to 5 pairs lined up end-to-end), depending on whether they are stored on individual spill pallets or custom continuous bunding.
Is this container pre-fitted with a bunded floor?
The baseline model comes with standard marine-grade plywood flooring. We offer custom metal bunded flooring and spill containment trays as an upgrade to meet UK site compliance rules.
Can you deliver this to tight sites in the UK?
Yes. All our 20ft High Cube containers are delivered via HIAB crane trucks across the UK. Check out our delivery guide to ensure adequate overhead clearance for offloading.
