Drum Spill Containment Pallets

Keep metal and poly drum leaks and spills controlled

• Durable molded polyethylene construction
• Compliant with EPA, SPCC and UFC regulations
• Removable grates for easy clean-out and inspection
• Drains available on most models
• Each pallet includes sump container and drum grates or containment pallet
• Use with steel, polyethylene drums and IBC containers

Pallet Types:

Spill control pallets offered here break out into some basic types based on performance specs, capacities and height size. 

• Economy/Recycled - easy on the budget; made from 100% recycled materials. Lower overall capacities, but same performance qualities
• Nestable - pallets can be stored in nested stacks for space savings when not in use
• Fluorinated - specially formulated with fluorination materials to resist aggressive, chlorinated chemicals for longer pallet life
• Low Profile - Lower overall height brings top of drum down to eye level for easier access
• High Capacity - capable of holding heavier drum weights and higher spill volumes
• Extra-High Capacity- maximum standard drum load and spill sump capacity with forklift accessible trays for easy load and unload
• IBC Compatible - Pallet size and capacity compatible with loads and sizes of IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) containers in addition to traditional steel and poly drums

Spill containment regulations:

The inspection requirements of the SPCC rule are designed to detect oil leaks, spills, or other potential integrity or structural issues before they can result in a discharge of oil to navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines. Regularly scheduled inspections, evaluations, and testing of bulk oil storage containers by qualified personnel are critical parts of discharge prevention.

A container integrity inspection and/or testing program may involve one or more of the following:

• an external visual inspection of containers, foundations, and supports;
• non-destructive testing (examination) to evaluate integrity of certain containers;
• and additional evaluations, as needed, to assess the containers' fitness for continued service.

The type of inspection program and its scope will depend on site specific condition and the application of good engineering practices and this can be accomplished by following applicable industry standards.

What oil storage containers do I have to inspect at my facility?

Conduct integrity testing and routinely inspect the following aboveground bulk storage containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or more:

• Large (field-constructed or field-erected) and small (shop-built) bulk storage containers;
• Containers located on, partially in (partially buried, bunkered, or vaulted tanks), and off the ground wherever located; and
• Double-walled containers.

Oil filled equipment is not a bulk storage container and, therefore, not subject to the integrity testing requirements of the SPCC rule.
