The ultimate storage units for dangerous goods
Our containers for sale in NZ are made of steel. Durable, wind-resistant and waterproof to protect the contents. As they are up to industry standards, this makes containers last long term and prevents complications from arising.
There are many advantages of using shipping containers to store dangerous goods:
Durable
Dangerous goods containers are strong, to protect the contents from elements such as wind and water. These containers are made from hard-wearing sheets of steel.
During transit, containers withstand rough handling, making them highly cargo worthy. Dangerous goods containers have bundled flooring and a spill capacity of 1250 litres. This prevents leakage and slippage.
Reusable
After the hazardous contents are removed, the container can be reused for other materials, or repurposed into something else. This saves both time and money as new containers are not needing to be purchased every time.
Easy to transport
Dangerous shipping containers do not need special equipment. Therefore they are just as easily transported as standard shipping containers. Benefitting from the extensive infrastructure worldwide.
Can be modified
These containers are easy to modify which saves you from buying new containers for new projects. A lockbox may be installed to prevent robbery or tampering. Ventilation may be installed which is often necessary for goods that produce fumes.
The dangerous good containers we provide are all fitted to suit your needs. They are designed specifically to protect the inside cargo. As well as the environment and others outside.
