Secure, fully compliant 20ft x 8ft Open-Side Bunded Store equipped with full side-opening doors and a heavy-duty removable open-mesh floor over an integrated spill bund. Engineered for safe, easy forklift loading of drums, IBCs, and hazardous materials, this container meets strict UK environmental and COSHH regulations for chemical, fuel, and oil storage.
£9,600.00
The 20ft Open Side Bunded Store with Open Mesh Flooring is built specifically for industrial, agricultural, and commercial operations requiring safe containment and efficient access to bulk chemical storage, oils, lubricants, and hazardous waste.
Combining full side-opening bi-fold double doors with an integrated fluid retention system, this container solves two critical site issues: regulatory compliance and unrestricted loading logistics.
Unlike standard end-door chemical stores, this unit features continuous bi-fold doors that swing open along the full 20ft side profile. This allows operators to load and unload pallets, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), or oversized equipment directly using standard forklifts, eliminating the need to manually move barrels inside a dark container space.
Built into the floor frame is a fully welded, seam-tested steel sump designed to capture accidental spills, drips, and leaks from stored liquids. With a minimum fluid retention capacity exceeding 1,100 litres, the containment system ensures full compliance with UK Oil Storage Regulations, preventing toxic runoff into local drainage systems or surrounding land.
Positioned directly above the steel sump is a modular, high-load galvanised steel mesh flooring system:
Spill-Through Design: Liquids fall directly through the grating into the bund below, keeping the walking and working surface dry and slip-free.
Removable Panels: Mesh panels can be lifted individually for easy cleaning, pump-out operations, and maintenance of the containment sump.
Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanising prevents chemical corrosion from spilled oils, diesel, or mild industrial fluids.
Fabricated from high-tensile Corten steel with high-security lock boxes fitted as standard, this unit resists weather wear, forced entry attempts, and tough industrial site conditions. High-and-low level natural louvre vents encourage continuous airflow, reducing internal moisture buildup and volatile gas accumulation.
This unit meets key UK health, safety, and environmental guidance requirements:
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health): Suitable for storing hazardous liquids, flammables (when grounded), pesticides, and solvents.
Environment Agency PPG2 Regulations: Sump capacity exceeds 110% of the largest single container stored or 25% of the total volume stored, whichever is greater.
HSE Guidance on Chemical Storage: Designed with security, ventilation, and spill containment principles required by health and safety inspectors.
