What’s the difference between this and a standard 20ft hazardous waste container? The High Cube version is 9’6″ tall — a foot taller than a standard 8’6″ container — giving extra headroom and storage volume for taller drums, IBCs, or stacked containment.
Is this container suitable for COSHH-compliant chemical storage?
It’s designed with features that support COSHH storage practices — including spill containment and ventilation — but full compliance depends on your specific substances and site risk assessment. We recommend confirming your exact requirements with our team.
Does the side-opening door replace the standard end doors?
No — this container retains standard end doors in addition to the full-length side-opening access, giving you two points of entry.
Can this container be used for transport as well as static storage?
Yes, subject to a valid CSC plate, this container can be used for road, rail, or sea transport of appropriately packaged hazardous materials.
What’s the difference between this and your Bunded Storage containers?
Our Bunded Stores are purpose-built for spill containment of liquids and chemicals at various sizes. This hazardous waste container offers side-opening access with containment features — talk to our team if you need a fully bunded
solution and we’ll help you pick the right unit.
