Detailed Description
The 20ft Hazardous Goods Bunded Container is a specialized unit distinct from standard dry van containers. Its primary function is to mitigate the risks associated with handling dangerous goods. The defining feature is the bunded floor, which acts as a critical safety barrier. Should a drum or container leak during storage or transit, the bund contains the liquid within its volume, stopping it from escaping into the external environment .
Constructed from high-tensile steel, the container is engineered for structural reliability. It is designed to be stacked when loaded, maximizing storage efficiency in depots or on vessels. The external surfaces are treated to resist corrosion, ensuring long-term durability. Furthermore, the inclusion of ventilation grilles is a standard safety feature, promoting air exchange that helps manage fumes and maintain interior conditions .
