Dangerous goods containers are modified to meet Australian health and safety regulations. Features such as bunded floors, ventilation, and fire resistance help businesses remain compliant with strict storage requirements.

Constructed from robust, weather-resistant steel, dangerous goods containers are built to withstand extreme weather and tough working conditions. This durability provides long-lasting protection for hazardous materials, ensuring that they remain secure and intact even in the most challenging environments.

Historical evolution of dangerous goods containers

Converting shipping containers into dangerous goods containers is an ideal solution at remote work sites where traditional construction would be either impractical or too expensive. 

Repurposing shipping containers has been going on since the late 20th century, however, the early 2000s was when it truly gained momentum.

Shipping container conversions to house dangerous goods are a testament to innovative and sustainable design, providing cost-effective and rapid-deployment solutions that are portable and customisable.
