20ft High Cube One-Trip Container — Chemical & Hazardous Liquid IBC Storage — New
Secure, ventilated, and purpose-configured for chemical and hazardous liquid storage in IBC tanks. This 20ft Chemical IBC Storage Container accommodates 16 x 1,000 L IBC tanks — providing up to 16,000 litres of contained liquid storage in a single lockable, weatherproof unit.
Furthermore, the High Cube interior height of 2,698mm is the critical factor — standard 20ft containers fall short of the clearance required for 1,000L IBCs with top fittings and connections in place. As a result, this is the correct unit for chemical, agricultural, and industrial liquid storage operations requiring compliant IBC containment.
Moreover, factory-fitted lockboxes on all doors, 4 passive vents for vapour management, and dual locking bars per door deliver the security and ventilation baseline required for hazardous goods storage on Australian worksites.

Why This Container Suits Chemical and Hazardous Liquid Storage
Ventilation — Vapour Management
Chemical and solvent vapours accumulate rapidly in sealed enclosures. The 4 passive vents provide continuous cross-flow airflow — reducing vapour concentration inside the container during storage. Furthermore, adequate ventilation is a baseline requirement under Australian dangerous goods storage guidelines for flammable and toxic liquid containment.
Security — Lockboxes and Dual Locking Bars
Unauthorised access to chemical storage is a serious safety and compliance risk. Moreover, factory-fitted lockboxes on all doors protect padlocks from physical attack. Additionally, two locking bars per door provide a secondary barrier on every access point — meeting the physical security expectations of Australian workplace chemical storage regulations.
Height — IBC Clearance
Standard 20ft containers have an interior height of 2,385mm. A 1,000L IBC with top connections and a valve assembly requires approximately 2,420–2,500mm of clearance. Therefore, a standard container creates a forced-entry risk — operators damage fittings or connections trying to close doors around protruding IBC hardware. This High Cube at 2,698mm eliminates that problem entirely.
Dual Access — Side and End Doors
The full-length 20ft side doors allow safe lateral forklift access to all 16 IBC positions. As a result, no IBC requires repositioning other tanks to reach — reducing manual handling and spill risk during loading and unloading operations.
