Key features of our explosive magazines
Built to AS2187.1-1998
Every explosive magazine meets the full requirements of AS2187.1-1998. This is the Australian Standard for explosive storage and transport. As a result, every unit is compliant with Australian Explosive Storage Regulations from day one.
ISO 9001 quality accreditation
Our explosive magazines carry ISO 9001 quality assurance accreditation. Furthermore, they are fully ISO compliant for intermodal transport. This makes them easy to move between road, rail, and sea freight systems.
Fully insulated and weatherproof
Each unit is fully insulated and fitted with weatherproof vents. Therefore, internal temperatures stay stable. This is critical for the safe storage of explosive materials in all Australian climates and conditions.
Internal safety handle and lockable valve
Every unit has an internal safety door handle and a lockable stainless steel valve fitted under the rear sill. Moreover, this ensures the safest and most practical method of explosives management on any site.

Military and defence ordnance
Our 20ft and 40ft explosive magazines are suited to military and defence applications. Furthermore, they can store MILSPEC materials, ammunition, bombs, and ordnance to the highest safety standards.
