The Top & Front Access Bunded Liquid Storage Unit provides a secure and practical solution for storing drums, cans and small liquid containers. Its dual-access design combines a lift-up top lid with wide front-opening doors, allowing stored items to be loaded, unloaded and inspected from the most convenient direction.
Manufactured from durable steel, the unit features an integrated containment sump beneath a removable galvanised steel grated floor. This configuration helps contain incidental leaks and spills while keeping stored containers elevated above any collected liquid.
The lift-up lid provides clear access from above, while the front doors allow direct loading at floor level. This flexible arrangement is particularly useful where containers are handled using a forklift or pallet-handling equipment.
The entrance is designed without a raised upstand across the lower front opening. Removing this obstruction helps reduce the risk of forklift forks striking the unit during loading and unloading and provides a smoother path into the storage area.
A built-in sump is positioned beneath the galvanised steel grated floor to provide secondary containment for incidental leaks and spills. The open-grid platform supports the stored containers while allowing escaped liquid to pass safely into the sump below.
The removable grating also provides access to the containment area for routine inspection and cleaning. Sump capacity must be selected according to the type, volume and number of containers being stored, as well as the regulations applicable at the installation location.
Integrated ventilation openings support passive airflow through the enclosure. This makes the unit suitable for storing compatible liquid products where ventilation is required as part of the site’s storage and risk-management plan.
Before use, the customer must confirm the chemical compatibility of the stored liquids with the unit materials and verify all applicable fire, environmental, ventilation and spill-containment requirements. Additional safety provisions may be necessary for flammable, corrosive, reactive or otherwise regulated substances.
The unit can be supplied in a selection of powder-coated RAL colours to suit operational, visibility or site-branding requirements:
