What are our 10ft Dangerous Goods Storage Containers used for?

A 10ft dangerous goods storage container, also known as a hazardous materials (hazmat) container or DG Unit, is specifically designed to safely transport or store substances that are classified as dangerous goods. These containers are built to meet certain safety standards and regulations to prevent leaks, spills, or other incidents that could pose risks to human health, safety, and the environment.
