Our Steel Bunded Drum Storage Units provide a high-specification, fully enclosed environment for the safe storage of hazardous and flammable liquids. While open spill pallets are suitable for indoor use, these heavy-duty steel units are designed for external locations where security, fire protection, and weatherproofing are paramount. Each unit acts as a self-contained hazardous materials store, ensuring your site remains compliant with strict UK environmental and health and safety regulations.
When storing high-value or highly flammable chemicals, steel is the industry-standard material.
Fire Resistance: Unlike plastic stores, steel units offer a vital fire-retardant barrier, preventing the escalation of a site fire and protecting your internal liquid assets.
Theft Prevention: Each store features reinforced, lockable doors with heavy-duty hinges and handles, providing a powerful deterrent against unauthorized access and vandalism in remote or unattended areas.
Industrial Strength: Fabricated from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a durable anti-corrosion coating, these units are built to withstand the physical demands of industrial yards and construction sites.
One of the primary benefits of an enclosed drum store is the elimination of "rainwater management" issues.
Clean Sumps: The integral roof and sealed doors prevent rainwater from filling the secondary containment area (the bund). This ensures the full 110% sump capacity is always available for an emergency spill.
Reduced Waste Costs: In open pallets, rainwater must often be treated as contaminated waste. These enclosed units keep the water out, significantly reducing your environmental disposal costs.
Environmental Fail-Safe: Every unit is factory-tested to ensure the sump is liquid-tight, meeting all Environment Agency and ISO 14001 requirements.
We offer a wide variety of configurations to suit the specific workflow of your site:
Single and Multi-Tier Storage: From compact 2-drum cabinets to massive 32-drum multi-tier stores, we provide solutions that utilize vertical space to keep your yard organized.
Pallet Loading: The units are designed to accommodate standard pallets, allowing for easy loading and unloading via forklift.
Safe Internal Atmosphere: Natural ventilation through high and low-level louvres ensures that any vapor from minor leaks or open containers is safely dispersed, protecting staff when they open the unit.
Our steel drum stores are delivered as complete, ready-to-use units. With integrated forklift pockets and crane lifting eyes, they can be positioned quickly on a level, hard-standing surface and put into immediate service. From the removable internal galvanized grates for easy cleaning to the precision-welded sumps, every detail is engineered for professional-grade liquid management.
