Drum Storage – Compliant and Secure Containment for Hazardous Liquids

Drum Storage refers to specialised systems, including bunded pallets, cabinets, and outdoor enclosures, designed for the safe, static, and compliant containment of 200-litre drums and other liquid containers. Essential across all Australian sectors that handle chemicals, oils, and hazardous waste, these solutions provide required secondary containment (bunding) to prevent catastrophic spills from contaminating the environment, ensuring strict adherence to WHS and environmental protection regulations.

Secure, compliant storage is the foundation of responsible chemical management. Verdex supplies a comprehensive range of Drum Storage options—from high-capacity bunded platforms to lockable, fire-rated cabinets—all built from resilient, chemical-resistant materials. These static safety solutions are central to our dedicated Drum Handling Equipment range.

 

Advanced Containment and Safety for Static Drum Storage

Dedicated Drum Storage systems offer protection and compliance beyond standard warehousing:

  • Mandatory Bunding/Secondary Containment: Every unit features an integrated sump capacity to capture leaks, making them compliant with Australian environmental protection laws for storing hazardous liquids.

  • Chemical and Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or coated steel, ensuring the storage unit remains intact even after exposure to corrosive liquids.

  • Integration with Handling Equipment: Designed with adequate clearance and strength to accommodate drums placed using mechanical aids like Forklift Drum Lifting Attachments or Drum Lifters.

 

Compliant Drum Storage Across Diverse Workplaces

Secure Drum Storage is a foundational requirement for any business using, storing, or processing bulk liquids, oil, or chemicals. They are critical across a broad range of Australian industries, including Manufacturing, Mining, Chemical Processing, Agriculture, and Automotive, with specific use cases in the following roles and workplaces:

  • Chemical Refineries and Plants: Used by Safety Managers to store raw materials in high-capacity bunded pallets before they enter the processing line or are moved by Drum Rotators.

  • Manufacturing Facilities: Utilised by Production Supervisors to securely hold large quantities of coolants, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids near machinery.

  • Waste Management and Recycling Depots: Essential for use by Environmental Technicians to segregate and store hazardous liquid waste streams safely before disposal.

  • Mine Sites and Remote Depots: Used by Logistics Coordinators to maintain remote, compliant storage for fuel drums, oils, and other essential heavy fluids.

  • Workshop and Maintenance Garages: Critical for Mechanics and Workshop Managers to store fresh oil, brake fluids, and solvents, often combined with decanting solutions like Drum Tippers or Drum Tilters.

For efficient short-distance movement, drums can be placed on Bunded Drum Trolleys or Drum Dollies. Our structural Drum Racking systems offer high-density vertical storage with integrated bunding, and safe lifting is achieved using aids like Drum Lifting Slings, Clamps & Tongs.
