20ft x 8ft Raised Bunded Store Container

A raised bund gives you more containment volume than a flat floor store of the same footprint, because the 300 mm step at the door is holding back a deeper reservoir. The trade-off is the step itself: drums have to be lifted or ramped in rather than wheeled. For long-term storage of a fixed inventory — where things go in once and stay — that is a good deal.

The unit starts as a one-trip 20ft container. A 3 mm Durbar chequer-plate floor is welded in above the bund, 24 vents are cut through the walls, and the original Cor-Ten shell, cargo doors and lockbox are retained.

Specifications

Getting stock over the step

A drum trolley will not roll over 300 mm. Plan for a portable ramp, a forklift, or a drum lifter — our container ramp suits this unit and stores inside when it is not in use. Sites that load daily usually specify the flat-floor version instead.

Where these end up

• Mine and civil contractor laydown yards holding fuel, oil and degreasers
• Council depots consolidating chemical stores out of open sheds
• Agricultural properties storing bulk chemical away from the homestead
• Manufacturing sites separating flammables from the main building

Compliance and approvals

Containment sizing, separation and signage fall under AS 1940 and your state work health and safety regulator; we supply the structure, not the certification. If the store is going onto land that needs planning consent, start with our council approval guide. Other sizes are in the 40ft and 8ft and 10ft ranges.
