- Locking - secured by cam lock, supplied with 2 keys.
- Construction - manufactured from double layer polyethylene.
- Finish and Colour - N/A, giving a durable, weather-resistant surface that stays legible and visible on site.
- Ventilation - ventilated to allow airflow and help prevent the build-up of fumes or gases inside the unit.
- Dimensions - external footprint of 580mm x 435mm x 920mm, internal 465x390x1110. All dimensions are approximate and include protrusions.

More About This Product
COSHH places a duty on employers to control substances hazardous to health, and safe storage is part of meeting it. This unit answers that with containment rather than mere enclosure: a welded, liquid-tight sump in the base catches what escapes from a split container or a loose cap, and the unit locks so that access is controlled. Fire resistance buys evacuation and response time before stored flammables become involved in a fire. Armorgard build to heavy-gauge steel throughout, powder coated over an anti-corrosive undercoat, because these units live outdoors on working sites rather than in a store cupboard.
Suitable Applications
Storage of paints, solvents, thinners, adhesives, fuels, oils and cleaning chemicals classified as hazardous under COSHH. Used across construction sites, workshops, plant rooms, depots, laboratories and maintenance facilities. Armorgard specify this unit for outdoor storage of chemicals.
Match the unit to the substance and the quantity: cabinets suit containers, drum stores suit drums on a sump, and cylinders need a ventilated gas cage rather than a sealed enclosure.
How to Use the ChemCube Cabinet CCC1
- Site the unit on firm, level ground away from ignition sources, heat and means of escape.
- Level the unit so the sump sits flat and spill containment works as intended.
- Confirm the hazard warning signage matches what you intend to store and add substance-specific labelling where needed.
- Load heavier containers low and lighter items high, keeping containers upright with caps secure.
- Keep the sump clear of stored items so it can take a spill.
- Lock the unit after every access and control key issue to authorised persons.
- Record the contents on your COSHH inventory and keep the safety data sheets available.
Warning:
Do not store incompatible substances together - consult the safety data sheet for each product. Never store gas cylinders in this unit. Keep the unit away from ignition sources and means of escape. Fire resistance is built to specification and does not replace a fire risk assessment or suitable extinguishing provision.
Safety Information
- Read the safety data sheet for every substance before storing it.
- Do not store incompatible substances together - keep oxidisers away from flammables and acids away from alkalis.
- Do not store gas cylinders in this unit.
- Site away from ignition sources, heat and means of escape.
- Keep the sump clear so it can contain a spill, and clean spills promptly.
- Keep the unit locked when unattended.
- Dispose of contaminated absorbent and waste through a licensed route.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect regularly for corrosion, impact damage and correct operation of locks and hinges. Check the sump is dry and clear at each inspection and clean any spill promptly, as prolonged contact with solvents can attack the coating. The unit is built from double layer polyethylene, which stands up to site conditions but benefits from being kept clean. Confirm the hazard signage remains legible and correct for the current contents, and keep your COSHH inventory up to date as they change. Replacement keys and spare parts are available from Armorgard against the unit's serial number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the sump for, and how big is it?
The base of the unit is formed into a welded, liquid-tight sump with a capacity of 16L. It catches leaks and spillages from containers stored above so hazardous liquids cannot reach the floor or enter drainage. Keep it clear of stored items so it can do its job.
Q: Where can this unit be sited?
Armorgard specify it for outdoor storage of chemicals. Siting it outside those conditions may affect both its performance and its warranty.
