Requested information about purchasing a container, Chrissie and the team were really helpful. We have access issues so sent photos and they confirmed all would be OK. Ordered a lined unit and it was delivered in under two weeks, amazing fitting of lining kit. Definitely worth the extra! Wagon got into property with a bit of shunting too! Great company and people to deal with, highly recommended! Having had a container from Unit three months ago we had no hesitation in requesting up to date pricing when we needed another. Everything was dealt with very quickly (thanks Chrissie) another fully insulated container was delivered quickly and positioned perfectly (thanks Tom). Very happy second purchase! Thanks!

We needed a container for our business and were completely inexperienced in knowing anything about them. Our first phone call was answered by Scott Yule, who remained our main point of contact throughout the entire process. He guided us through everything we needed to consider and helped us specify exactly what we wanted, an unusual 13ft non-standard size in a custom colour with an added personnel door. Unit Group managed to build and ship it in less than two weeks, and it was delivered first thing on the morning they had promised. It was craned into position with millimetre accuracy in the area we had marked out. The container looks incredible and does the job perfectly. Scott was exceptional throughout, his communication was fantastic, and the whole process was made so easy. If all companies operated to this standard, business in general would not only be easier but an absolute pleasure. Thank you to the team at Unit Group, I couldn’t recommend you highly enough. If we ever need another container, we’ll certainly come directly to you.

Working with Georgie and her team was an absolute dream. She was massively responsive to all of my requests & gave me advice all the way along the process. For full transparency we didn't purchase the container in the end, as we chose a completely different solution for our needs - but if i were to buy a shipping container - this is the only company i would use. I carried out full due-dilligence on the business and was confident they were well priced, communicative and reliable.

Unit Hire was recommended to me by a neighbour who used them 12 years ago. The service has been outstanding from the moment I enquired and Lisa Jones has been excellent, possibly the best customer service I have received in a long time. She went out of her way to answer questions, find information, check the delivery and all went very smoothly. The delivery driver was also very pleasant and helpful. The container is also smart and clean. I had called a couple of other companies, as we will be renting a container for c 10 months, but neither cared about securing my business like Lisa did (and I don't mean that in a sales/pressurising me to make a decision way, she just cared about the quality of the customer service she was giving). Would 100% recommend Unit Hire.

COSHH Chemical Storage Containers FAQs

Listed below are some common questions about our COSHH Chemical Storage Container sale.
Please contact us if you require any assistance on 0800 9777 590 or email enquiries@unithire.co.uk.

What materials are COSHH chemical storage containers made from?

COSHH chemical storage containers are typically made from high-grade corten steel, which provides durability and resistance to weather conditions. The steel is often treated with a corrosion-resistant coating to protect against chemical spills and rust. Some containers may also include fire-resistant materials for added safety. These strong materials ensure the containers can securely hold hazardous substances.

How do COSHH storage containers prevent chemical spills and leaks?

COSHH storage containers are designed to prevent chemical spills and leaks through features like built-in spill containment sumps, which catch any accidental leaks. The containers are sealed to be watertight and have durable, corrosion-resistant materials to prevent damage that could lead to leaks. Additionally, proper ventilation ensures that pressure doesn’t build up inside, reducing the risk of leaks from fumes or liquid chemicals.

Are COSHH containers available in different sizes?

Yes, COSHH containers are available in various sizes to suit different needs. Common sizes include 10ft and 20ft containers, which are popular for storing hazardous chemicals. The 10ft size is ideal for smaller spaces or limited storage needs, while the 20ft option provides more capacity for larger operations. Both sizes offer secure, compliant storage for hazardous materials, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

Do COSHH chemical storage containers have ventilation systems?

Yes, COSHH chemical storage containers are equipped with ventilation systems. These air vents help ensure proper airflow, preventing the build-up of harmful fumes inside the container. By allowing gases to escape, the ventilation system reduces the risk of dangerous chemical reactions or pressure build-up. This feature is essential for maintaining a safe environment when storing hazardous substances.

Can COSHH containers be customised with shelves or compartments?

Yes, COSHH containers can be customised with shelves or compartments to help organise and safely store different chemicals. These customisations allow for better separation of materials, making it easier to access and manage hazardous substances. Shelves and compartments also improve safety by keeping chemicals securely in place, preventing spills or accidents inside the container. This flexibility ensures that the container meets the specific storage needs of your business.

Are COSHH storage containers fire-resistant?

Yes, our COSHH storage containers are designed to be fire-resistant. They are often made with materials that can withstand high temperatures, providing extra protection for hazardous substances in case of a fire. Fire-resistant containers help prevent the spread of flames and reduce the risk of dangerous chemical reactions during a fire, ensuring a safer environment for workers and the surrounding area. This feature is especially important when storing flammable or reactive chemicals.

What safety features are included in COSHH chemical storage containers?

COSHH chemical storage containers include several key safety features to protect both workers and the environment:

  • Spill Containment Sumps: To catch and contain any accidental spills or leaks.
  • Ventilation Systems: Allowing airflow to prevent the build-up of harmful fumes.
  • Lockable Doors: To prevent unauthorised access to hazardous materials.
  • Fire-Resistant Materials: Providing protection in case of a fire.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Coating: To protect the container from chemical damage.
  • Lashing Points: Ensuring secure transport and storage of containers.

These features help ensure safe handling and storage of hazardous chemicals.

How are COSHH containers secured to prevent unauthorised access?

COSHH containers are secured to prevent unauthorised access using robust lockable doors or padlock systems. These locks ensure that only authorised personnel can access the hazardous materials stored inside. In addition to the locks, some containers may have reinforced doors and walls to further enhance security. By using these safety measures, COSHH containers help protect against theft, tampering, and accidental exposure to dangerous chemicals.

Are COSHH containers suitable for outdoor use in extreme weather conditions?

Yes, COSHH containers are designed to be suitable for outdoor use, even in extreme weather conditions. They are made from durable, high-grade steel with corrosion-resistant coatings to protect against rain, snow, and harsh environmental factors. These containers are also wind and watertight, ensuring that hazardous chemicals remain safely stored without risk of leaks or spills. This makes them reliable for long-term outdoor use in a wide range of climates, protecting both the chemicals inside and the surrounding environment.

How do COSHH storage containers help businesses comply with safety regulations?

COSHH storage containers help businesses comply with safety regulations by providing a secure and controlled environment for hazardous substances. They are designed to prevent leaks, spills, and unauthorised access, ensuring chemicals are safely stored and reducing the risk of accidents. Features like ventilation systems, spill containment sumps, and fire-resistant materials help meet the requirements set by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations. By using these containers, businesses can properly manage hazardous materials, protect their workers, and adhere to legal standards, reducing liability and ensuring workplace safety.
