FireKing® 30-Gallon Flammable Safety Cabinet
Store smaller inventories of flammable liquids, combustible materials, pesticides, corrosives, or laboratory chemicals in a purpose-built FireKing safety cabinet. The 30-gallon model combines reinforced double-wall steel construction, a 1.5-inch thermal air gap, spill containment, secure double doors, and a compact 44-inch cabinet height.
Choose from manual-close or automatic-close doors and five powder-coated finishes that help identify the cabinet's intended storage application. One adjustable galvanized-steel shelf supports up to 125 lbs., while the shallow 18-inch cabinet depth fits laboratories, maintenance rooms, healthcare facilities, schools, workshops, and industrial storage areas where floor space is limited.

Purpose-Built Storage for Flammable and Hazardous Liquids
This FireKing cabinet is constructed from cold-rolled steel with reinforced double walls and a 1.5-inch thermal air gap on all sides, including the doors, top, bottom, back, and sides. A raised 2-inch leakproof sump helps contain incidental spills, while two flame arrestors with baffles and caps support the cabinet's protective design.
Additional safety and usability features include a grounding lug, a flush-mounted paddle handle, keyed cam lock, full-length piano hinges, four galvanized leveling feet, an adjustable galvanized-steel shelf, and conspicuous trilingual warning labels.
Choose the Cabinet Application and Color
All five finishes use the same basic steel cabinet construction. Color helps workers identify the cabinet's intended storage application, but it does not establish chemical compatibility. Review the Safety Data Sheet for every material and verify compatibility and segregation requirements with your environmental health and safety professional or local authority having jurisdiction.
| Cabinet Color | Intended Storage Application |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Flammable liquids |
| Red | Combustible liquids, including compatible paints, inks, and oils |
| Green | Compatible pesticides and insecticides |
| Blue | Compatible corrosives, acids, and oxidizers |
| Platinum Gray | Compatible laboratory chemicals |
Manual-Close vs. Automatic-Close Doors
Manual-Close Doors
The operator closes and secures the double doors after each use. Manual-close models are the economical choice where permitted by the facility's safety policy and applicable state or local requirements.
Automatic-Close Doors
The double doors close automatically and include a heat-responsive link. Select automatic-close doors when required by the facility, insurer, state or local fire code, or authority having jurisdiction. The automatic-close configuration is also commonly described as a self-closing safety cabinet.

Why Choose the 30-Gallon Model?
- Lower cabinet height: The 44-inch height is easier to place in laboratories, maintenance rooms, production areas, and other spaces that do not require a full-height cabinet.
- Shallow footprint: The 18-inch depth uses less floor and aisle space than deeper high-capacity models.
- Flexible organization: One adjustable 125-lb shelf helps separate containers and makes better use of the 39.2-inch interior height.
- Application-specific identification: Five colors help employees quickly recognize the cabinet's intended storage use.
- Two door configurations: Choose the economical manual-close model or the automatic-close configuration when required by policy or local code.
Common Applications
The 30-gallon FireKing cabinet is a practical choice for facilities that need dedicated hazardous-liquid storage without the height or capacity of a 45- or 60-gallon model.
- Laboratories and research facilities
- Manufacturing and production areas
- Maintenance and equipment rooms
- Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities
- Schools, colleges, and universities
- Automotive, paint, and repair operations
- Warehouses and commercial facilities
Delivery and Site Access
At approximately 215 lbs., this welded-steel cabinet ships by LTL freight and requires delivery planning. Before ordering, confirm the receiving entrance, loading area, hallways, elevators, turning space, floor conditions, and final cabinet location. Allow additional clearance for the pallet and protective shipping packaging.
- Loading-Dock Delivery: Best for commercial facilities equipped to unload and move the palletized cabinet.
- Liftgate/Curbside Delivery: The cabinet is lowered to ground level and remains palletized for the customer to move inside.
- Lobby or Garage Delivery: The cabinet is moved into the first accessible covered area when site conditions permit.
- Full-Service Delivery: Includes movement to an approved final location, placement, and packaging removal when site conditions permit.
Residential delivery, stairs, restricted truck access, tight turns, long carries, floor protection, or unusual site conditions may require additional review or charges. Standard freight service may use a 53-foot tractor-trailer. Contact Advanced Filing Concepts before ordering if you are unsure which delivery method is appropriate.
Safe Selection and Placement Guidance
Important guidance before ordering
- Review the SDS for every liquid or chemical that will be stored in the cabinet.
- Do not use cabinet color alone to determine chemical compatibility.
- Segregate incompatible chemicals according to approved facility procedures.
- Confirm whether manual-close or automatic-close doors are required in your jurisdiction.
- Follow FireKing instructions and facility procedures for bonding or grounding.
- Do not alter or vent the cabinet unless required and approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
- Place the cabinet on a level floor capable of supporting the cabinet and its fully loaded contents.
- Verify the complete delivery path and final placement area before shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exterior dimensions of the 30-gallon cabinet?
The cabinet measures 43 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 43 inches high. Its net weight is approximately 215 lbs.
How many shelves are included?
One adjustable galvanized-steel shelf is included. It supports up to 125 lbs. and adjusts on 2.7-inch bracket spacing.
What is the difference between manual-close and automatic-close doors?
Manual-close doors must be closed by the operator. Automatic-close doors close automatically and include a heat-responsive link. Automatic-close doors may be required by state or local code, facility policy, an insurer, or the authority having jurisdiction.
Does the cabinet color determine what can be stored inside?
No. Color is a visual identification aid. Review each product's SDS, verify cabinet compatibility, and segregate incompatible chemicals according to approved safety procedures.
Does this cabinet meet UL, OSHA, and NFPA requirements?
The current 30-gallon technical guide states that the cabinet is factory-verified to UL 1275 flammable-liquid storage performance criteria and identifies OSHA and NFPA 30 compliance. State, local, insurer, or facility requirements may be more restrictive, so confirm requirements with the authority having jurisdiction.
Should the cabinet be vented?
Do not modify or vent the cabinet by default. Follow FireKing installation instructions and the direction of the authority having jurisdiction. If venting is required for a specific application, it must follow applicable codes and approved facility procedures.
Can this cabinet be used for lithium-ion batteries?
No. A flammable-liquid safety cabinet is not a substitute for a purpose-built lithium-ion battery storage or charging cabinet. Browse our lithium battery storage cabinets for battery-specific solutions.
Is this the same as a document-rated fireproof storage cabinet?
No. This cabinet is designed for hazardous-liquid storage and spill containment. A document-rated fireproof storage cabinet is designed to protect paper records, binders, or other contents from an external fire. Shop fireproof storage cabinets for records and documents.
How is the cabinet delivered?
The cabinet ships by LTL freight. Select the delivery method that matches the receiving location, including loading-dock, liftgate/curbside, lobby/garage, or full-service delivery when offered. Contact Advanced Filing Concepts before ordering if the location involves stairs, residential access, tight hallways, elevators, or restricted truck access.
