The Armorgard FBC8 is the largest site chest in the FlamBank range, designed for high-volume, secure on-site storage of flammable and hazardous substances. Its robust design delivers secure containment, excellent spill control, and fire resistance--distinguishing it as a premium storage solution for demanding industrial or construction environments.
Constructed using 2 mm and 3 mm high-grade steel with a high-visibility red powder-coat finish, the FBC8 features flame-arrestor vents at both high and low levels to safely dissipate potentially dangerous vapours. Its gas-strut-assisted lid opens smoothly and stays open with a safety catch. The fully welded 250 L sump protects against spills, while dual keyed 5‑lever deadlocks with anti‑jemmy reinforcement deliver top-tier security. Internally, two removable shelves and forklift skids enhance storage flexibility and mobility.
