The Conquip COSHH Drum Store is an enclosed, secure compliant store for the safe storage of fuel drums on construction sites. Built from steel folded plate with a powder-coated finish, it opens via a gas-assisted lid plus double front doors for full access, with a removable floor that lifts out for cleaning spills and twin internal 5-lever mortice deadlocks plus internal bolt locks deterring theft. Standard fork pockets allow easy repositioning, in two sizes — 295 litre (ST114-01811) and 485 litre (ST114-02278) spill capacities.
Key Features
- Steel folded plate construction -- powder-coated finish gives maximum strength, durability and corrosion resistance for long site life.
- Gas-assisted lid -- struts hold the lid open during loading and unloading, then assist controlled closure.
- Twin 5-lever mortice deadlocks -- internal mounting plus internal bolt locks resist tampering and forced entry.
- Removable floor -- lifts out for thorough cleaning when spills or residues need removing.
- Standard fork pockets -- forklift truck repositioning around site without re-rigging.
- Integrated bund -- 260L (small) or 485L (large) sump captures spills before they reach the ground.

COSHH-Compliant Bunded Fuel Drum Storage
The integrated sump captures any leaks or spills, preventing ground contamination and supporting compliance with COSHH regulations and site environmental protection requirements. Fully enclosed lockable design protects fuel stocks from weather, contamination and theft.
More About This Product
The Conquip COSHH Drum Store is an enclosed, secure compliant store for safe storage of fuel drums on construction sites. The store is built from steel folded plate with a powder-coated finish, opens via a gas-assisted lid plus double front doors for full access, and includes a removable floor that lifts out for cleaning of any spills. Twin internal 5-lever mortice deadlocks plus internal bolt locks deter opportunistic theft, and standard fork pockets allow easy repositioning around site. Two sizes available -- 295 litre (ST114-01811) for smaller drum quantities, and 485 litre (ST114-02278) for larger spill capacity.
Suitable Applications
The COSHH Drum Store is suitable for any site that stores fuel, oil, lubricants or chemicals in 205-litre drums. Common applications include construction sites with on-site refuelling for plant and generators, civil engineering projects requiring multiple lubricant stores, infrastructure works with extended duration plant operations, and any site needing to demonstrate compliance with COSHH and environmental regulations during principal contractor or client audits.
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 Choose Between the Two Sizes
- Count the drums you need to store at any one time -- the 295L unit takes 2 drums; the 485L unit takes 4 drums.
- Consider sump capacity required -- COSHH guidance is typically 110% of the largest container or 25% of total stored volume, whichever is greater.
- Check the available footprint on site -- the 485L is wider and longer than the 295L.
- Plan craning or forklift access -- both sizes use standard fork pockets but the 485L is heavier and needs a higher-capacity truck.
Warning:
Always position the COSHH Drum Store on a level, firm surface. Do not exceed the rated drum capacity. Ensure all stored containers are correctly labelled and sealed before locking the unit.
Safety Information
- Keep the COSHH inventory and current safety data sheets accessible to all site users.
- Inspect the bund for any liquid before each refill -- empty and clean if any contamination is found.
- Check fork pockets, locks and lid struts at each redeployment -- replace damaged components before use.
- Position away from drains, watercourses and ignition sources per site COSHH and fire risk assessment.
- Keep an appropriate spill kit nearby and ensure responding operatives are trained in its use.
Inspection and Maintenance
The Conquip COSHH Drum Store should be visually inspected at each delivery and weekly during use. Check the lid struts open and close smoothly, the locks engage cleanly, and the bund is clear of standing liquid. Powder-coated finish should be inspected for damage that could lead to corrosion -- touch up any chips with matching paint. Remove the floor periodically for full cleaning of the bund interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size drums fit inside?
Both units are designed for standard 205-litre fuel drums. The 295L unit (ST114-01811) holds 2 drums; the 485L unit (ST114-02278) holds 4 drums.
Q: Is this COSHH-compliant?
Yes -- the integrated bund captures spills, the lockable enclosure controls access, and the design supports COSHH risk assessment requirements for on-site chemical storage.
Q: Can it be moved when full?
Yes, via the standard fork pockets. Confirm your forklift truck capacity covers the loaded weight (drum store + drums + fuel).
Q: What is the sump capacity?
295L unit has a 260L sump. 485L unit has a 485L sump (110% of the four-drum total volume).
Q: Is it weatherproof?
The fully-enclosed design protects contents from rain and casual contamination. Keep the lid and doors closed when not actively loading or unloading.
