Durham Manufacturing 316 Stainless Steel Storage Cabinet
Durham’s 316 stainless cabinet is best-in-class for sump and wet-dry systems because 316 stainless resists chlorides and sustained moisture far better than painted or lined steels, minimizing corrosion in continuously damp environments and lowering long-term replacement costs. Compared with coated-steel and lined-sheet options on this list, its higher upfront cost is offset by reduced maintenance and longer service life, making it the most cost-effective choice where persistent exposure to salts, acids or brines is expected.

Justrite Sure-Grip EX Corrosive Safety Cabinet
Justrite’s Sure-Grip EX combines explosion-resistant design with a corrosive-resistant finish to serve facilities storing corrosives near sumps and wet-dry equipment; it is more affordable than full stainless solutions while providing better chemical resistance than plain sheet-metal cabinets. While it does not match 316 stainless for continuous immersion scenarios, its engineered seals, reinforced doors and protective coatings make it a practical trade-off for operations that prioritize regulatory safety features and lower initial investment.
