Dangerous Goods Container
Dangerous goods containers are explosion-proof boxes designed to safely transport hazardous liquids and liquefied goods. Our DG containers for sale have CSC certification and comply with Australian export standards, ensuring safe transportation. We have a professional technical team that can customize designs to meet the specifications provided by our clients.
Dangerous goods shipping containers primarily transport and temporarily store hazardous waste in solid, liquid, and gas forms. The standard size is 20 feet, typically equipped with one end door and one full-side door. We can also provide customized door designs based on specific client needs. A single 20-foot hazardous goods container can accommodate two 9-foot dry boxes.
Dangerous Goods Container Features:
Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Our containers use high-quality C3 paint for protection. The coating is 220 microns thick. We also offer C3 to C5 coatings. The paint prevents corrosion and increases durability.
Safety Features: During transportation, hazardous waste containers may be impacted or compressed, potentially causing waste leaks or dangerous incidents. To prevent this, the bottom of the hazardous waste shipping container is equipped with a drip tray to collect any small amounts of leaked liquid. Additionally, the aluminum grating inside the container prevents waste leakage due to compression.
Ease of Use: The drip tray includes prefabricated walkways and shelving bases. Furthermore, to meet the ventilation needs of chemical hazardous materials, we have designed larger vents and exhaust louvers on each end door, ensuring natural ventilation from bottom to top and good air circulation to prevent hazards. The container body is made of insulated materials, providing good thermal insulation during transportation.
Operational Safety: To ensure the safety of operators, we specially designed the door with safety locks that can be opened from the inside, preventing accidental entrapment.
DG Container Type
What is DG Container?
Dangerous Goods Containers (DG Containers) are fortified shipping units specifically engineered to transport hazardous materials safely by sea, road, or rail. Unlike standard containers, DG containers incorporate critical safety enhancements.
10 ft. Dangerous Goods Container
The 10ft Dangerous Goods Container from ZN-Meox is the agile solution for smaller, high-value, or urgent hazardous shipments. Ideal when space is premium or cargo volume is limited, this compact powerhouse offers:
Optimal For: Limited quantities (LQ), high-value hazardous materials (e.g., certain chemicals, pharmaceuticals), emergency shipments, or last-leg transport.
ZN-Meox Advantage: Despite its size, it features the same robust build quality, UN certification, and secure fittings as larger models, ensuring full compliance and safety for smaller DG loads. Easier to position and handle in confined areas.
20ft. Dangerous Goods Container
The workhorse of hazardous logistics, the 20ft Dangerous Goods Container balances significant capacity with global versatility. ZN-Meox’s 20ft DG units are the most requested size for good reason:
Optimal For: A vast range of packed dangerous goods – drums, IBCs, intermediate bulk packs, or palletized hazardous materials across multiple classes.
ZN-Meox Advantage: Standard ISO dimensions ensure seamless integration into global shipping networks. Our 20ft containers provide the ideal blend of volume, structural integrity (tested for stacking), and compliance features for diverse DG transport needs.
40ft. Dangerous Goods Container
Maximize efficiency for large-volume hazardous shipments with the 40ft Dangerous Goods Container. ZN-Meox delivers high-capacity safety for substantial DG cargo.
Optimal For: Large quantities of hazardous materials, oversized DG equipment, or consolidating multiple hazardous shipments requiring segregation within a single unit.
ZN-Meox Advantage: Offers the highest payload capacity while maintaining critical safety standards. Ideal for optimizing transport costs per unit for major shipments. Our high-cube option provides extra vertical space.
8ft Dangerous Goods Container
For niche applications requiring a truly compact solution, ZN-Meox offers the specialized 8ft Dangerous Goods Container:
Optimal For: Very small batches of dangerous goods, specialized equipment transport, internal site transfers, secure on-site storage of hazardous materials, or specific route constraints.
ZN-Meox Advantage: Delivers full UN-certified DG safety in the smallest practical footprint. Perfect when standard sizes are excessive, but regulatory compliance and container-grade security are non-negotiable.

What Classes of DG can Be Stored in Chemical Storage Containers?
When it comes to safely handling hazardous materials, one of the most crucial factors is understanding what classes of DG (Dangerous Goods) can be stored in chemical storage containers. Whether you manage a laboratory, industrial site, or transport company, storing DGs correctly not only ensures regulatory compliance—it also protects people, property, and the environment.
Chemical storage containers are specially designed to contain a wide range of DG classes. These containers are built with durable, corrosion-resistant materials, reinforced seals, and ventilation systems that help prevent leaks, fires, or chemical reactions. The versatility of these containers allows them to safely house multiple classes of dangerous goods.
Typically, DG Classes 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are most commonly stored in certified chemical containers:
Class 3: Flammable Liquids – Solvents, fuels, and alcohols can be securely stored in flameproof, explosion-resistant units.
Class 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides – Containers with specialized ventilation reduce the risk of combustion.
Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances – Leak-proof interiors and lockable compartments ensure absolute containment.
Class 8: Corrosive Substances – Acid-resistant linings prevent structural damage and spills.
Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods – These include environmentally hazardous or elevated-temperature substances requiring general containment.
It’s important to consult local regulations and conduct a risk assessment before storing multiple DG classes together. Incompatible substances must be separated to avoid reactions. Many chemical storage units come with built-in segregation compartments for this exact reason.
Investing in proper chemical storage containers ensures not just compliance with safety laws but also peace of mind. Whether you’re upgrading your facility or starting from scratch, choosing the right container for your specific DG class is essential for operational safety and efficiency.
