20ft High Cube Container – Hazardous Waste Container, Side Opening (9ft 6″ high)

The 20ft high cube hazardous waste container is a specialized unit designed for the safe storage and handling of environmentally hazardous materials. Featuring a full-length side opening and a built-in spill containment sump, this container supports regulatory compliance and operational safety for industrial, construction, and waste management applications.

Key Features

• Full-length side opening for easy access to stored materials and efficient loading and unloading 

• Integral spill containment basin designed to capture and retain hazardous liquid spills in the event of a leak, protecting the surrounding environment 

• Insulated walls, ceiling, and doors with 70mm insulation and 15mm plywood covering, combined with a climate control unit to prevent chemical degradation from frost or extreme temperatures 

• Removable steel grates over the containment basin, allowing the floor to support palletized goods while providing spill capture capability 

• High cube configuration with 9 ft 6 in exterior height (approximately 8 ft 10 in interior clearance), providing comfortable working conditions inside the container 

• Corten steel construction for structural integrity, durability, and weather resistance

• CSC and ISO certification for intermodal transport and regulatory compliance 

Detailed Description

This hazardous waste container is constructed from a standard 20ft high cube shipping container and modified with features specifically designed for the safe containment and handling of dangerous goods . The container body is built from Corten steel, a weathering steel grade that provides long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity for extended outdoor placement.

The integrated spill containment basin is engineered to capture hazardous liquid spills, with capacity sized to contain at least the largest container unit stored within . When combined with a 32A 400V CEE electrical installation, LED lighting, and a Nebula Nordic heat pump system, the container provides a complete, self-contained hazardous waste management solution .

The side opening configuration improves access to stored materials, reducing the need to unload items from the rear and minimizing handling time during waste disposal operations. The extra height of the high cube configuration provides approximately 8 ft 10 in of interior clearance, facilitating comfortable working conditions during loading and sorting activities .

Intended Use

This container is suited for the following applications:

• Storage of hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, and waste oil at industrial and construction sites 

• Handling of environmentally hazardous liquids and materials requiring spill containment 

• On-site hazardous waste accumulation areas for generators and permitted facilities 

• Sorting and handling operations at recycling centers and waste management facilities 

The insulated construction and heat pump system prevent stored chemicals from being exposed to frost, maintaining product integrity across seasonal temperature variations. Regulatory requirements for hazardous waste storage, including secondary containment, container compatibility, and proper closure, must be observed .
