Storage Capacity: 50 Drums / 9 Pallets / 302 Total Sq Ft (40′)
Sump Capacity: 920 Gallons (40′)
A 40′ hazardous material and chemical storage container can hold up to 50 drums at 320 square feet, with a 920 gallon sump capacity. These criteria meet the OSHA and EPA chemical storage regulation when properly installed and used. Height measures approximately 8’6” feet high or 9’6″ for the extra tall models. Custom manufacturing and fabrication processes have been implemented and refined to ensure uniformity and quality work across our fleet.
Access doors meet or exceed enforced standards and certifications
1.This ISO shipping container chemical storage unit delivers lockable double doors with cam closures, located on short end of the container. The access doors total dimensions measure 7’9’’ high x 7’5‘’ wide.
2. A spill-proof secondary spill containment sump flooring system raises the storage-level grated flooring up from the bottom of the container’s exterior. This means the interior flooring is raised from the ground and there is a step up from ground to grated flooring offsetting the bottom of the door and the bottom fo the floor of the unit. As such we include an industrial grade heavy-duty access ramp for easy access throughout the contract period.
1.Secondary spill containment sump provides 460 gallons of storage capacity.
2.This chemical storage container is engineered with a high quality secondary containment system to prevent leakage of any solid or liquid chemicals from the storage area. This system is engineered to meet or exceed the EPA’s spill containment requirements of twenty seven percent (27%) capacity. The flooring system is fabricated to meet the National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (NAAMM MBG 531, “Metal Bar Grating Manual for Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum Gratings and Stair Treads.”) standards and specifications.
3. The 1″ deep open-grated floor enables any material spilled to fall through the grate directly into the storage sump. This lessens contamination of other material stored in the local, protest the locker itself, and ensures all spilled are self-contained and never leaked into the environment.
4. The leak-proof storage sump is fabricated of solid steel walls and floor with continuous water-tight welds, treated with a chemical resistant coating, and engineered to provide full-coverage secondary containment sump across the interior of the locker. A high density leak-proof sump liner is provided for additional spill protection. This liner also ensures a more cost effective cleanup in the event a spill occur.
Flooring and Accessibility
1. The total Floor loading provides a minimum of 500 pounds per square foot. This raised floor of steel grating stretches over the entire storage area floor providing a secure storage surface. This allows any spill to directly enter the liquid-tight secondary spill containment storage sump.
2. Included Access Ramp measures 60″W x 88″L for easy loading and unloading. This ramp is fabricated from 12 gauge steel and rated for 275 lbs. per sq. ft. ideal for hand-truck carried chemical storage drums.
Ventilation Systems Options
1.Gravity Air Flow Ventilation shall be UL listed and included standard on all BoxSAFE chemical storage units.
2. The location of the ventilation system(s) shall be arranged to maximize air movement across all areas of the floor to prevent accumulation of flammable vapors.
3. *Optional Mechanical Ventilation system is also available
Optional Interior Compartment Lighting Accessories
Two (2) UL listed LED light fixture(s) included with the container provide ample interior lighting to ensure safety while handling storage mater.
Optional Explosion Proof Mechanical Ventilation
1. This locker features a high quality ventilation system required for proper chemical storage facilities. This system is designed to ventilate flammable storage areas with proper air turnover. It has a continuous minimum replacement of one cubic foot every minute. Our ventilation system is well equipped with a 3 hour fire dampers, UL listed 165 degree fusible link activation system, and a gravity flow ventilation system.
2. The mechanical ventilation system moves about 6 full air changes every hour. This exhaust air is released above the locker as to not accidentally recirculate bad air. This explosion proof electromechanical ventilation system uses a UL Listed, Class I, Division 1, Group C and D compliant enclosed motor with non-static 12 inch diameter cast aluminum fan blade. This mechanism is externally mounted which can be manually operated with the exterior UL fan switch prior to entering the locker.
Optional Fire Suppression System Available*
1.Chemical storage containers are not equipped with fire suppression as factory standard. We have select models that can provide state of the art dry chemical fire suppression. Please consults your US Hazmat Rentals representative for details and optional availability.
2. A ready-to-use 21 lb. dry chemical fire suppression tank that is UL, ULC listed and FM approved for the A, B, and C fire classes is available. This high quality system is also equipped with remote activation and integrated fusible link detection, a manual exterior pull station, and multiple interior spray nozzles for complete coverage in a flooding activation. The dry chemical tank is mounted on the exterior of the locker, and comes with an audible alarm for added safety. The system is unarmed per D.O.T regulations and must be armed and certified by a licensed representati
