20ft High Cube Hazardous Waste Container – Side Opening

This is the specialist unit in the high cube range: a side-opening 20ft high cube fitted with a containment tank, built for sites that have to store hazardous waste securely rather than simply keeping it out of the rain. The side opening means drums, IBCs and bins can be placed and retrieved with a forklift across the length of the container instead of being wrestled through an end door.

The high cube profile gives the headroom to handle caged IBCs and stacked drums, and the container carries a CSC plate rated to 30 tonnes gross.

Specifications

What we supply and what you must confirm

We supply the container and its containment tank. Whether that arrangement satisfies your obligations for the specific waste streams you hold — containment volume, segregation of incompatible classes, placarding, manifesting and licensing — is determined under AS 1940, the relevant waste regulations and your state EPA and work health and safety regulator. Take these specifications to your environmental consultant before ordering.

Site considerations

• Clear working width beside the container for the side opening and a forklift
• Level, firm, impermeable standing — usually concrete for a waste store
• Vertical clearance on the delivery route for a high cube on a tilt-tray
• Separation distances from boundaries, drains and ignition sources

Alternatives

Where you need containment rather than waste-specific handling, the welded bunded stores are considerably less expensive — they are listed across the 20ft and 40ft ranges. Other high cube configurations are in the high cube category.
