Dangerous Goods Storage
Dangerous Goods Storage
Our chemical storage units are designed to accommodate safe, secure and easy access to various types of dangerous goods. As with all hazardous material storage security is a quintessential element requiring careful attention. Our units are designed to reduce risk and contain potential spills and other possible mishaps. We offer an obligation-free preliminary evaluation service to assess your specific requirements and are able to develop a proposal to cost-effectively engineer a solution to your chemical storage problems.
Hazard Material Storage Capacity
55-gallon Steel drums should only be stacked one layer high, per pallet. For these, the
larger 45 x 50 x 5 pallet is usually used, for holding 4 drums; the standard pallet may be
used for 3 drums or less. One to four drums per pallet. Eight pallets will fit on a 20-foot
container floor. A second layer of 8 pallets of liquid product may be stacked on top of the
first, provided that the total weight capacity is not exceeded. This may require that the
second layer have 3 drums per pallet, on some of the pallets, depending on product
density.
20-foot container: (1 Layer) 32 Drums
20-foot container: (2 Layers) 48 to 64 drums, depending on product density.
40-foot container: (1 Layer) 44 Drums
40-foot container: (2 Layers) 64 to 88 drums, depending on product density.
5-gallon steel pails should be stacked no more than three layers high, per pallet. Stacked,
without their cartons, twelve of them will fit on a pallet, without any overhang. If they
must be packed in cartons, there will be a 2.5-inch overhang, when 12 boxed pails are put
on a standard pallet.
216 (3 layers of 9 pcs, per pallet) or 288 (3 layers of 12 pcs, per pallet) per 20-foot
container.
20-foot container: 360 pails (3 layers x 9 per layer x 8 pallets, bottom layer only +
2 layers x 9 per layer x 8 pallets) total height restriction
480 pails (3 layers x 12 per layer x 8 pallets, bottom layer only +
2 layers x 12 per layer x 8 pallets) total height restriction
40-foot container: 648 pails (2 layers x 9 per layer x 36 pallets)
864 pails (2 layers x 12 per layer x 36 pallets)
