- Interior lining & insulation – for added protection
- Service doors – for quick & easy access
- Heavy-duty racking bays – for efficient organisation
- Fitted lighting and electrics – for enhanced visibility and functionality
- Reinforced metallic flooring – to withstand heavy loads
- Checker plate floor – for slip resistance
- Internal divider walls – to separate contents
- Bunded floor – or partially bunded floors for spill containment
- Additional vents – for added ventilation
Our COSHH Stores are available in various sizes, ranging from 10ft to 40ft, and can even be customised to meet your specific dimensions and requirements. Trust us to provide tailored solutions for your hazardous material storage needs.
FAQs
A container exposed to sunlight and cold can suffer from condensation, especially if the interior, or the contents of the interior, are damp. Condensation can usually be prevented by the use of disposable dehumidifiers or the more efficient anti-condensation technique of spraying the ceiling with Grafo. Please speak to our sales staff about applying a coating of Grafo to your container before delivery.
Shipping containers are designed to be fully waterproof, including the doors which are fitted with full wrap around seals. International Standards Organisation (ISO) containers are designed to last many years and withstand overseas crossings with laden cargo.
The structure of the container is designed to be supported by four corners with a full load should you require it. The land base could be grass or soil but it must be firm throughout the duration of the container placement. Also the ground should be level helping the container to remain stable. The doors may become difficult to open or indeed worse if the end frame of the container moves out of square.
When padlocked through the available holes in the door gear, they are secure but can be made more secure by the fitting of a lock box, which protects the lock from interference (and the elements).
