Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dangerous Goods Container?

Dangerous goods containers are specifically designed storage units to safely house hazardous materials. They protect the goods stored within and minimise risk to people, property and the environment.

What Size Are DG Containers?

Dangerous goods containers come in various shapes, sizes, configurations and applications. From boxes and cabinets to cages and pallets, Tradesales offers a wide variety of bespoke solutions.

How Should Chemicals Be Stored in Australia?

The compliant way to store chemicals depends on the substance. The chemical must be stored in a safe and compliant container in a secure location. Items must be clearly labelled, and if you store more than a certain amount, you must maintain a manifest and use placards on the property. We recommend you contact our team for more specific information.

Are Tradesales Dangerous Goods Containers Relocatable?

Some of our dangerous goods containers are portable or relocatable. Relocatable storage containers allow you to store large quantities of hazardous chemicals and goods in a seamless and stress-free process.

Tradesales’ relocatable bulk dangerous goods containers provide a cost-effective alternative to the expensive and often time-consuming operation of building permanent fixed storage solutions. To check whether a container is portable or relocatable, see the product description for each item or contact our friendly team for assistance.
