£6,800.00
Our explosive magazines are heavy-duty steel storage containers purpose-built for the secure storage of explosives, detonators, fireworks, ammunition and other regulated hazardous materials. Converted from solid ISO steel shipping containers and reinforced to withstand fire, impact and unauthorised access, each unit is engineered to help site operators meet UK explosives storage obligations while keeping stock secure, dry and easy to transport between sites.
An explosive magazine is a dedicated, self-contained storage unit designed to isolate explosive or highly flammable materials from people, equipment and other stored goods. Unlike a standard storage container, a magazine incorporates reinforced walls, a lockable steel door, ventilation to prevent gas or heat build-up, and internal fittings designed to reduce the risk of ignition — making it suitable for construction, quarrying, demolition, mining, defence and licensed pyrotechnics use.
Explosive storage in the UK is governed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Control of Explosives Regulations, DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations), and — for larger sites — COMAH.
Our magazines are designed with these frameworks in mind: solid steel construction, controlled ventilation, hazard signage provision, and secure locking systems that support the separation and quantity-limit requirements site operators are responsible for. (Buyers remain responsible for obtaining the correct explosives storage licence from their Local Authority/HSE and for siting the magazine in line with their approved storage certificate — we recommend confirming exact spec requirements with your licensing authority before ordering.)
Explosive magazines are available in a range of container sizes and can be customised with additional shelving, ventilation, signage, and security fittings to match the volume and classification of materials you’re storing. Tell us your required capacity and licence category and we’ll recommend the right configuration.
Whether you need a permanent on-site solution or a short-term for a specific project, we supply explosive magazines on purchase UK-wide, with delivery arranged to your site.
Yes. Storing explosives in the UK requires the relevant licence or registration from your Local Authority and compliance with HSE regulations. We supply the physical storage unit; licensing is arranged separately by the operator.
Classification depends on the quantity and hazard type (HSE hazard type) of explosive being stored — higher-hazard materials typically require more robust construction and greater separation distances. Speak to our team with your HSE hazard classification and we’ll match you to the right spec.
Yes — because they’re built on a standard ISO steel container base, our magazines can be lifted, craned or transported by road between locations.
