40ft Raised Bunded Storage Container — One-Trip, 300mm Steel Bund, 48 Vents, Chemical Storage

Description

The 40ft Raised Bunded Storage Container from Atlas Container Supply is a premium, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.

This 40ft raised bunded storage container is a new one-trip COR-TEN steel container purpose-built for the secure storage of chemical and hazardous materials, modified before dispatch with a 300mm raised internal bund to provide secondary containment in the event of a spill or leak. The bund is constructed from 3mm Durbar anti-slip chequerplate steel welded into the container base, creating a fully sealed containment tray that retains spilled liquids within the unit and prevents ground contamination. At 300mm (11.8in) depth, the bund provides substantial secondary containment volume across the full internal floor area.

Important — compliance note: This unit is designed for chemical and hazardous materials storage, but no specific regulatory certification (EPA, OSHA, SPCC, or equivalent) is stated by the supplier. In the USA, secondary containment requirements for chemical storage are governed by EPA regulations under 40 CFR Part 112 (SPCC), OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106, and applicable state environmental regulations. Buyers must confirm with a qualified environmental or safety professional that this unit meets all applicable federal and state requirements for their specific chemicals and site before purchase and use. Atlas Container Supply does not provide compliance certification for this unit beyond its physical specification.

Ventilation is provided by 48 fitted vents — substantially more than a standard storage container — supporting the airflow requirements of chemical storage environments and reducing the risk of vapour accumulation within the unit. The exterior hinged double doors at one end are fitted with two locking bars and a factory-fitted lockbox for physical security. Forklift pockets are included for repositioning by forklift. The unit is built on a one-trip container base — the frame, cladding, and corner castings are in near-new condition consistent with a single journey from the manufacturer.

For guidance on chemical storage secondary containment requirements in the USA, refer to the EPA Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations and consult your state environmental authority before siting.

Construction & Durability

The 40ft steel shipping container is built from factory-fresh one-trip steel — corrugated Corten panels that weather to a stable oxide layer instead of rusting through. Corner castings are forged and welded to the rails, so it can be lifted, stacked, and relocated without the frame racking out of square.

Delivery & Site Preparation

We ship the 40ft steel shipping container across the Lower 48 on a tilt-bed at no charge to you. A 40ft-class unit needs roughly 100ft of straight approach for the truck to back in and tilt. Have the drop zone marked and clear on the day — the driver sets it once, and moving it afterwards means another truck.

Why Buy From Atlas Container Supply

Buying new means you see no wear at all: no dents, no patch welds, no previous cargo. We inspect, then we list — no surprises on delivery day, and 30 days to return it if it is not right. More options in 40ft Containers and the full container shop.
