Hazardous and Industrial Shipping Containers
Container Projects Ltd manages the supply of high-grade equipment for hazardous environments. For companies needing to buy containers for permanent chemical storage or hire containers for offshore projects, we provide certified solutions from regional UK depots. You can get a quote to confirm lead times and technical compliance. Our logistics network ensures every unit reaches your site ready for hazardous material handling.
We supply units as one-trip stock for maximum safety. A one-trip unit is a new container that has made a single journey from the manufacturer to the UK. For global transit, every unit features a CSC plate. A CSC plate is a safety approval plate required for international shipping to certify structural safety.
Choose the right hazardous storage container
Selecting a unit depends on the nature of the hazardous material and the site’s lifting requirements. Container Projects Ltd ensures all industrial units meet UK safety law.
Offshore containers
An offshore container is designed for repeated use in open-sea conditions and meets DNV 2.7-1 standards. These units feature reinforced frames and integrated lifting points for use on oil rigs and wind farms. Most are used to move tools, drill pipes, and bulk supplies.
COSHH chemical storage units
For on-shore chemical management, a COSHH chemical storage container includes a liquid-tight sumped floor to capture spills. These units also feature high-level and low-level ventilation to prevent the accumulation of hazardous vapours. They are essential for safely storing fuels, lubricants, and flammable materials.
Condition grades and compliance
The integrity of sumps and lifting points is vital for industrial safety. We supply used units that meet the IICL standard. IICL refers to a high standard of container repair and condition set by the Institute of International Container Lessors. For static storage, we provide units that are wind- and watertight. A wind- and watertight unit is a condition grade that ensures the unit is sealed against weather and light. We confirm the tare and payload for every unit. The tare is the weight of the empty container. The payload is the maximum weight of cargo the container can carry.
Delivery access and siting
Container Projects Ltd coordinates container haulage using hiab crane vehicles for precision placement. Site managers must confirm specific conditions:
- Ground Strength: The surface must be reinforced or concrete to support the weight of industrial cargo.
- Level Surface: Units must be level to ensure the sumps work correctly and doors remain aligned.
- Vertical Clearance: Hiab trucks require significant height for crane operation.
