What Exactly is a Spill Pallet for an Oil Drum?


An oil drum spill ballet is essentially a sturdy and corrosion-free container; these oil drum spill pallets are as near to "fit and forget" technology as you're likely to find. These are moulded bunds topped by a grid on which several drums or a couple of IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) can be stacked, with enough space beneath to retain the entire contents of the drum or drums with room to spare.

Instead of pouring all over the floor, spilt oil falls through the grid into the bund, where it is contained and easily collected. The pallet's strength is such that each type can hold the drums for which it was built, up to and including fully loaded IBCs. The pallets are easily moved using forklifts but are not designed to be transported with their pallets attached; those must be removed first.
