GPC Drum Storage Unit with Sump Base, 780 Litre

The Owner's Insights on the Drum Storage Unit

This is the serious end of drum storage. A full walk-in unit, 3150mm long, with a 780 litre sump built into the floor and dual sliding doors you can padlock shut. It is the answer when you have a quantity of hazardous stock sitting outside and you need it contained, weatherproof and out of reach of anyone who should not be in it.

The construction is an RHS frame with galvanised sheet cladding, which is the combination that survives a decade in a yard rather than three winters. The sliding doors matter in practice: hinged doors on a unit this size need clearance to swing, and yards rarely have it.

Be realistic about what arrives. It weighs 950kg and comes on a 28 day lead. This is a site installation, not a delivery you unload by hand.

Why You'll Love the Drum Storage Unit

• 780 litre sump base: the largest containment in the GPC drum range, built into the floor of the unit.
• Padlockable dual sliding doors: secures the contents and needs no swing clearance in a tight yard.
• Weatherproof for outside storage: designed to live outdoors permanently rather than under cover.
• RHS frame with galvanised sheet cladding: a structural frame and corrosion-resistant skin, not folded panel.
• 3150 x 2250mm internal footprint: takes a meaningful quantity of drums in one secured, contained space.

Why You Should Consider a GPC Drum Store

GPC Industries build these in the UK to order. On a unit at this price the thing worth checking is the frame, and GPC use rolled hollow section rather than folded sheet for the structure, with galvanised cladding over it. That is the specification that determines whether you are buying this once or twice.

Drum Storage Unit Specifications

Do you need a full unit or will a drum store do?

If the drums just need containment and weather protection, a vertical or horizontal drum store does the job for a fraction of this. You want the full unit when you need three things at once: a large sump, security against unauthorised access, and a properly weatherproof enclosure. Chemical stock, fuel, or anything a visiting inspector will ask about usually justifies it.

What does the sump need to hold?

Secondary containment requirements in the UK depend on what you store, how much, and where your site sits. The rules are not the same in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This unit's sump holds 780 litres, stated plainly so you can check it against your own assessment. Your local regulator or the Environment Agency can confirm what applies.

Delivery and installation

28 day lead time from order. At 950kg, a forklift is essential on site and you should plan where it is going before it arrives, because it will not be moved easily afterwards. Ring us before ordering if access is tight and we will work out how to get it in.
