10ft Dangerous Goods Storage Container
Our 10ft Dangerous Goods Storage Container creates a dedicated, secure enclosure for operations that need purpose-specific storage for compatible regulated materials within a compact footprint.
Rather than treating this as an ordinary shipping container with minor modifications, the unit is configured around the requirements of controlled industrial storage. A robust steel shell protects the contents, while the bunded base provides secondary containment beneath the usable floor area.
Ventilation is incorporated into the enclosure to promote airflow, and the full-width cargo doors provide practical access for loading and inspection. The highly visible Signal Orange exterior also makes the designated storage area immediately distinguishable from general-purpose containers around a busy site.
At approximately 10ft long, the container is particularly useful when a business requires a separate dangerous-goods storage zone but does not need the capacity or footprint of a 20ft unit.
The container is supplied with an empty interior, allowing the final configuration to be matched to the intended substances and site requirements.

Designed for Controlled Storage
This unit establishes a physically separate area for suitable dangerous goods instead of storing those products alongside ordinary tools, stock or equipment.
The bright orange exterior makes the designated enclosure readily identifiable within industrial compounds, workshops, construction projects and agricultural operations.
Secondary Containment
An integrated bund provides a dedicated containment zone beneath the main storage surface.
Should compatible stored liquids leak, the containment system is intended to help restrict their uncontrolled spread outside the enclosure.
High & Low Ventilation
Ventilation openings positioned at different levels promote natural airflow through the container.
Ventilation requirements vary significantly depending on the substances involved, so the final configuration must be assessed against the goods being stored.
Security
Steel cargo doors incorporate robust locking hardware and a protected locking point.
This helps control access to materials that should not be freely accessible to general site personnel or visitors.
Suitable Applications
The container may be configured for appropriate storage involving:
Industrial liquids
Maintenance products
Workshop substances
Packaged chemicals
Agricultural products
Manufacturing materials
Automotive fluids
Cleaning products
Site maintenance supplies
Selected hazardous materials
Regulated packaged goods
Important: A generic dangerous-goods container is not automatically suitable for every dangerous-good class.
Compatibility, segregation, bund capacity, ventilation, fire protection, signage and other requirements must be determined according to the substances and quantities being stored and applicable Australian regulations and standards.
Modification Options
Depending on the intended application, available configurations can include:
Additional ventilation
Internal shelving
Galvanised racking
Electrical installations
Internal lighting
Additional security
Safety signage
