High – Clearance 20ft High Cube Container for IBC Storage<\/h2>\n

Standard 8ft 6in shipping containers often fall short when storing Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs)<\/b> on elevated spill bunds. Our 20ft High Cube Shipping Container<\/b> provides an extra 1 foot (304 mm) of vertical headroom<\/b>, standing at 9ft 6in high external<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This additional height is critical for industrial sites, chemical processors, and farms that require fluid clearance to operate forklifts and position 1,000 – litre IBC tanks onto regulatory spill containment bunds safely.<\/p>\n

Why Choose a High Cube for IBC Liquids Storage?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Calculated Headroom for Spill Bunds:<\/b> Storing liquids in the UK requires adherence to Environmental Agency pollution prevention guidelines. Placing standard IBCs (typically 1,160 mm high) onto a standard bund (typically 400 – 500 mm high) leaves almost no working space in standard containers. The bunded ibc shipping container solves this clearance bottleneck completely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Forklift Accessibility:<\/b> The tall door aperture (8 ft 5 in high) gives forklift operators maximum visibility and clearance when loading heavy liquid totes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Heavy – Duty Corten Steel Construction:<\/b> Built from anti – corrosive Corten steel, engineered to withstand harsh UK weather and chemical environments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Enhanced Security:<\/b> Fitted with a high – security lockbox over the double doors to prevent forced entry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n

      How many standard 1,000L IBCs fit inside a 20ft container?<\/b><\/p>\n

      A standard 20ft shipping container can comfortably fit 8 to 10 standard 1,000L IBC tanks<\/b> placed on the floor (4 to 5 pairs lined up end – to – end), depending on whether they are stored on individual spill pallets or custom continuous bunding.<\/p>\n

      Is this container pre – fitted with a bunded floor?<\/b><\/p>\n

      The baseline model comes with standard marine – grade plywood flooring. We offer custom metal bunded flooring and spill containment trays<\/b> as an upgrade to meet UK site compliance rules.<\/p>\n

      Can you deliver this to tight sites in the UK?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Yes. All our 20ft High Cube containers are delivered via HIAB crane trucks across the UK. Check out our delivery guide to ensure adequate overhead clearance for offloading.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
