In January 2025 we delivered this 10ft chemical storage container to one of our customers in Milton Keynes. This purpose built container was fabricated from a one trip and converted in our East London depot.
This particular unit is complete with large louvre vents at the top and bottom of each side of the container. The customer had the standard plywood container flooring replaced with a bunded floor to catch spills. The chemstore was complete with a fresh repaint in white RAL9003 before being delivered to our client in Milton Keynes.
These chemstores are made to order you will be able to customise your container to suit your space and requirements.
10ft One Trip Shipping Containers for Chemical Storage
For this customer, they opted for a one trip 10ft shipping container for their unit. Our 10ft one trip shipping containers are the newest possible condition within the container market. Having been purchased by ourselves directly from the shipping lines after completing one journey from Asia.
These containers are built to a very high spec and come fitted with a high security lockbox as with all our other one trip units.
They come with double cargo doors on one of the 8ft ends as standard. Doors on the 10ft one trip containers typically come with either 2 or 4 locking bars.
The interior is complete as standard with plywood flooring or in some rare cases an eco-friendly bamboo type flooring. All 10ft one trip containers come fit with forklift pockets – this is not the case with 10ft containers cut down from a larger container.
One trip containers are ideal for conversions as they give you longer life-span and therefore better value for your money!
Chemical Storage Container Conversion
We can take almost any container and make them suitable for storing chemicals. We offer a lot of different modifications that can make your shipping container suitable for this purpose. As with all of our containers we are able to repaint these containers on request in a RAL colour of your choice!
While we have completed many chemical storage units, we are not specialists in this area. We can advise on what have done previously for customers, however, it will be up to you to ensure that the container meets the necessary requirements to safely store your chemicals.
Ventilation
Ventilation is more important in a container for chemical storage than any other use. It is vital that in the case of any spillages any gases from the chemicals can disperse effectively. If the gases are trapped inside, this can be dangerous for whoever is inside the container or goes in next.
Shipping containers do come with some standard vents however these offer minimal airflow and not sufficient for most chemical storage. To ensure the container has suitable ventilation we can fit louvre vents.
For this customer, we fitted four 300mm x 300mm louvre vents. They were installed at high and low levels on both sides of the container. Fitting the vents at different heights means that gases that are heavy or light can still escape from the container preventing a build up of the gasses.
Bunded Flooring for Shipping Containers
To avoid contamination and harm coming to the inside of your container (or surrounding areas), our customers opt for some form of specialised flooring when intending to store chemicals within a shipping container.
There are a number of different variants when it comes to flooring, chequerplate flooring, mesh bunds and bunded flooring are just a few of the options.
For this conversion, they opted for a bunded floor with galvanised mesh grid floor. This type of floor allows any chemical spills to collect in the bund under the floor, so that there are no puddles of harmful liquids for people to walk over. A drain & plug was also fitted so that the spills can be safely cleaned up.
Ready Made COSHH Stores

Alongside our converted option, we can also offer chemical storage containers that are purpose built. These containers will come with 2no louvre vents, one high level and one low. They also have a with a steel durbar floor which is designed with a upstand to catch spilt liquids. Like our converted unit, this comes with drainage tap for easy clean up.
These containers are produced in a yellow colour, RAL2016 however, can be resprayed in Manchester depot if required. These units like any other shipping container are fabricated using Corten Steel meaning rust forms very slowly and will be non-porous. These specific containers are available in 10ft and 9ft variants.
Flatpack Chemical Stores
If delivery access is a concern or you only need a small unit, we also have flat pack chemical storage containers. We offer two variants, insulated and non-insulated.
Both variants are made from galvanised steel. These units are robust and secure, and come with a double locking system on the double entrance doors. Additionally they feature a built in guttering system, and a suspended wire mesh floor and vents. Much like the shipping container chemstores, the flooring catches any spillages and the vents allow for gases escape.
Our insulated flat pack chemical stores help to reduce temperature fluctuations which can be detrimental to certain chemicals.
