Frequently Asked Questions

Looking to learn more about 10ft Dangerous Goods Shipping Containers? We've answered some of the common questions our sales team gets asked.

  • At Container Traders, we only stock new build Dangerous Goods Containers. These containers are critical for safety and environmental protection, so we supply new builds to ensure they’re fully secure and fully compliant with Australian Standards. Buying used could mean dealing with hidden corrosion or chemical residue from previous owners, which can compromise the Shipping Containers integrity. By sticking with new containers, you can be certain that your site remains safe and aren’t liable for harmful spills.

  • Permit requirements for Dangerous Goods Containers can be quite complex as they vary significantly between different states and local councils. It’s always best to contact your local council with your specific plan and intended use for the container to ensure you comply with all local laws and safety regulations.

    Beyond the council, you should also check with your state’s work safety authority (like SafeWork) if you plan on storing large volumes, as you may need to register the site as a manifest quantity workplace.

  • A Dangerous Goods Shipping Container is a specialised storage unit built to safely house hazardous materials that could otherwise leak or cause a fire. At Container Traders, our containers are specifically designed for Class 3 flammable liquids and are compliant with Australian Standard AS1940.

  • Dangerous Goods Containers have a variety of features to transport chemicals safely compared to a Standard Container. These include a “bunded” and  grated floor that acts as a catch-tray for spills, along with a valve tap to drain those liquids safely and compliant ventilation. Our 20ft Side Opening Dangerous Goods Shipping Containers are popular because they allow you to easy load pallets of chemicals or fuel drums directly by forklift while keeping your site compliant and protected from environmental contamination.

  • AS1940 is the Australian set of rules for storing flammable and combustible liquids safely. It ensures that if a leak or fire occurs, the damage is contained and your site stays compliant.

    To meet this standard, a shipping container must have:

    • Spill Containment: A “bunded” floor to catch leaks before they hit the ground.
    • Ventilation: Proper airflow to stop dangerous fumes from building up.
    • Drainage: A valve tap to empty the bund safely after a spill.
    • Clear Labeling: High-visibility yellow paint and proper hazard signs.
  • Dangerous Goods Shipping Containers are designed to house hazardous materials that require strict containment to prevent leaks or fires. Common items our customers store in Dangerous Goods Containers include:

    • Class 3 Flammable Liquids: Safely store fuels, oils, and paints.
    • On-site Fuel: Keep diesel or petrol secure for construction machinery and generators.
    • Chemicals: Manage hazardous substances used in industrial or logistics settings.
    • Spill Containment Gear: Store absorbents and barriers for emergency response stations.
    • Laboratory Samples: House toxic substances and testing equipment for mobile environmental research.
  • In the Shipping Container world, yellow is the standard colour for Dangerous Goods storage. It acts as a quick visual cue for everyone on-site that the container contains hazardous materials like flammable liquids or chemicals.

    Amy was fantastic. She was able to assist with all my questions, and I was very happy with the quoted price. Very fast delivery, they even delivered it from Sydney to Canberra on the same day I paid for it! If you’re lucky enough to get Amy, you won’t be disappointed. Container Traders was by far the best place I tried, unlike the other companies.
