Armorgard FlamBank FB1 Van Box

FlamBank FB1 is the compact hazardous-storage van-box format for fuels, chemicals and other flammable materials. It should be selected as part of a considered storage arrangement, using the materials, container sizes and location to assess suitability. The enclosure’s features do not provide a blanket certification or establish compliance for every substance or workplace. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and the requirements of the intended use before ordering.

External dimensions are 995 × 540 × 485 mm, with published internal dimensions of 840 × 400 × 470 mm. Use the internal measurements to assess your containers, and the external footprint to plan the location and lid clearance. A fully welded sump helps contain spills. Check spill-containment requirements against the intended substances and containers; the presence of a sump should not be turned into an assumed capacity.

Ventilation points are fitted with flame-arrester gauze. Gas struts and a lid safety stay assist access, while the 5-lever deadlock secures the box. Two keys are supplied. The red powder-coated finish and hazard warning signage distinguish the storage role from an ordinary tool box. The published weight is 46 kg, so positioning and any vehicle installation should be planned with appropriate handling arrangements.

Armorgard states 30-minute fire resistance and explicitly identifies the model as not fire-rated. Keep both parts of that distinction when evaluating the product; do not treat it as a certified fire-rated cabinet. Compare FB2 for a larger site-box format, with its own verified dimensions and sump specification. SAB can help you compare the exact models, but the final storage choice must suit the substances and conditions involved.
