20FT SIDE LOADING CHEMICAL STORE CONTAINERS
Chemical store containers have bunded floors which are designed to prevent and manage the spillage of liquids, particularly hazardous substances like oils, chemicals, or other pollutants. A bunded floor is a raised floor or wall within the container. This acts as a safeguard if the primary container leaks or spills, ensuring that the spilled liquid is contained within the bunded area. Some bunded containers have drainage or collection systems to handle any accumulated liquids, making it easier to safely dispose of them. Industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, chemicals, and laboratories are required to use bunded floor containers to meet safety and environmental regulations, especially when handling hazardous or flammable liquids. Side loading containers, also known as side access or side opening containers, have concertina doors to one long side as well as cargo doors to one 8ft end. This makes loading by fork lift or loading large items really easy.
