Gas Cylinder Storage

Open Air Gas Cylinder Storage Containers

This unit carries all the features of our standard 20ft dangerous goods container, with a few additional modifications. The 20ft open air storage unit is intended for gas cylinder storage, or any other material that requires complete ventilation: the side walls have been removed and replaced with non-spark mesh panels for maximum air flow.

A custom personnel door is installed for everyday access, and the bunded floor with drainage outlet means spills are contained and the unit can be washed down and maintained easily. HR Container Service can custom design a gas cylinder storage container to your specification – call us or send an inquiry with your cylinder counts and site details.

Why ventilation and non-spark fittings matter

Compressed gas cylinders are usually stored outdoors precisely because any leak needs to disperse rather than accumulate. Mesh side walls give that dispersal while still keeping cylinders secured, sheltered from direct weather and out of reach. Non-spark fittings on the flooring and personnel door remove a common ignition source in an environment where a leak is the foreseeable failure.

Related dangerous goods storage

Where liquids rather than gases are the risk, a 20ft open side bunded store with open mesh floor uses the same containment principle. For explosives and detonators, see our container explosive magazines. Both sit within our wider range of specialized containers.

Confirm your own regulatory and separation-distance obligations with the relevant authority, then request a quote and we will build to that specification.
