Type 3 & IME Day Boxes
Portable day boxes provide secure temporary storage and transport of explosives and related materials during daily operations. Available in Type 3 and IME configurations, these boxes are built for field use where materials need to be safely transported, handled, and secured throughout the workday.
Portable day boxes are available in three common sizes, with steel Type 3, lightweight aluminum Type 3, and IME/DOT SLP-22 configurations. The appropriate option depends on the materials being transported, handling requirements, and applicable transportation and storage requirements.
Compact day box for smaller quantities and portable field applications.
Mid-size configuration offering additional capacity while maintaining portability.
Larger day box configuration for applications requiring increased interior capacity.
The correct configuration depends on the materials involved, how the container will be used, and the requirements that apply to your operation.
Type 3 magazines are portable containers used for attended, temporary storage of explosive materials during daily operations. Steel and lightweight aluminum configurations are available.
Type 3 magazines must meet the applicable construction requirements of 27 CFR 555.209. They are not intended for unattended or overnight storage.
IME/DOT SLP-22 configurations are designed for certain applications involving the transportation of detonators with other explosive materials, subject to applicable conditions.
These configurations incorporate additional barrier construction. The applicable transportation requirements and permitted use should be confirmed before selecting a container.
Compare your storage and transportation requirements with the available options to find an appropriate starting point.
