Description
20ft High Cube Side-Opening Spill Containment Container
This 20ft high cube side-opening container is a specialized storage solution featuring an integrated spill-containment basin beneath removable steel floor grates.
The full-length side-opening configuration provides convenient access throughout the container, making it easier to load, organize, inspect, and remove drums, containers, palletized materials, equipment, and other stored items.
The container also features insulated walls, ceiling, and doors, an installed climate-control system, LED interior lighting, and an electrical installation.
With an exterior height of approximately 9’6″, the high cube configuration provides additional interior clearance compared with a standard-height 20ft container.

Spill-Containment System
An integrated containment basin is positioned beneath removable steel floor grates.
The grates provide an elevated surface for stored containers and materials while allowing spilled or leaked liquids to collect in the containment area below.
This configuration can provide secondary containment for appropriate storage applications.
Containment requirements can vary considerably depending on the type and quantity of material being stored, container size, location, and applicable regulations. Customers are responsible for determining whether the containment capacity and configuration are appropriate for their intended materials and use.
Customers requiring a particular containment capacity should confirm the specifications of the available unit with Y-Containers before ordering.
Full-Side Access
The container features opening doors extending along the side, providing convenient access to the interior.
Unlike a conventional container that relies primarily on cargo doors at one end, the side-opening configuration allows stored items to be reached from multiple positions along the container.
This can be particularly useful when storing drums, containers, palletized materials, equipment, or other items that require regular inspection or individual access.
The side doors are fitted with locking hardware for secure closure.
Insulated Interior
The walls, ceiling, and doors feature approximately 70mm insulation with an interior plywood covering.
The insulated construction works together with the installed climate-control equipment to help reduce significant interior temperature fluctuations.
Actual interior conditions will depend on exterior weather, equipment settings, electrical supply, frequency of door opening, stored contents, container placement, and other operating conditions.
Customers storing materials with specific temperature requirements should confirm that the installed system is appropriate for those requirements before ordering.
Climate Control & Electrical System
The container includes an installed heat-pump climate-control system for heating and cooling.
The electrical installation includes interior LED lighting and electrical distribution equipment.
The current configuration is designed around a 32A 400V electrical supply. Electrical requirements should be confirmed before delivery, installation, or connection.
Electrical connection and site preparation should be completed by appropriately qualified personnel in accordance with applicable requirements.
