Hazmat Specific Storage

Hazardous materials require extra safety precautions for both the storage site and its employees. Different materials require different safety measures and storage environments to keep them safe and maintain their efficacy.  The Hazmat Specific Storage network at Robinson Logistics is certified in warehousing a variety of toxic and potentially dangerous materials.

There are nine classes of hazardous material including flammable substances, explosives, infectious agents, corrosive materials, radioactive matter and others.  A wide variety of scientific, industrial and commercial industries utilize compounds in one or more of these categories, making their storage and transport fairly common.  We give suppliers and manufacturers dealing in hazardous materials an array of qualified warehouses throughout the Midwest to choose from.  Each of our Hazmat Specific Storage sites are equipped with the personnel, insurance, fire suppression systems and containment protocols to safely transport, store, relocate and secure various substances.
