Drum Spill Pallets
When handling large drums of oils, chemicals, or other hazardous liquids, a small leak can quickly escalate, leading to costly consequences. Drum spill pallets provide the critical secondary containment necessary to prevent disasters before they happen.
These tough containment systems are your safety net, catching those inevitable drips and spills before they become a full-blown disaster. We've built our robust spill deck containment pallets to last, using materials that won't break down when exposed to harsh chemicals.
The peace of mind alone is worth it—knowing you have plenty of time to respond to any leak while staying on the right side of the WorkSafe NZ requirements. Explore our range below and give your facility the protection it needs.
Robust Spill Containment Drums for Complete Protection
As a provider of spill kits in NZ, we know how important protecting your team, facility, and the surrounding environment is. A spill containment drum immediately catches and contains leaks before they spread, providing critical response time while preventing workplace contamination.
Our spill-bunding pallets are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments day after day. Each pallet includes LLDPE construction for chemical resistance, removable grates for easy cleaning and maintenance, and non-slip surfaces for secure drum placement.
Types of Drum Spill Pallets
Our single-drum pallets are perfect for isolating incompatible chemicals or saving space in smaller workspaces, while our multi-drum options balance space efficiency and capacity—ideal for workshops handling multiple fluids. Four-drum pallets offer the best value per drum for larger operations, with the strength to hold serious weight while keeping everything contained safely.
Our drum spill decks can accommodate varying storage needs while maintaining the required containment capacity, offering reliable protection without compromise. With a strong commitment to outstanding customer service, you can trust Spillbase to safeguard your workplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can different substances be stored on the same drum spill containment pallet?
Your drum spill pallet may be great at containing leaks, but you"ve got to be smart about what you put on it. Never place incompatible substances on the same pallet—that's just asking for trouble. If two incompatible substances mix during a spill, you could be dealing with anything from a fire to an explosion or even toxic fumes that clear out the building.
Always check the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) before deciding what goes where. Remember your basic chemistry: don't store acids near bases, keep flammables away from oxidisers, and never put corrosives next to flammable materials.
To ensure maximum safety, use separate spill containment drums for different chemical classes, clearly label everything, and maintain proper spacing between incompatible materials.
How much liquid can a drum pallet hold?
The containment capacity of drum pallets typically depends on their design and size. At Spillbase, our drums have capacities of up to 250L, which meets standard regulations for secondary containment.
When choosing the right pallet for your facility, consider the number of drums you need to store, the substances involved, and the required containment capacity for regulatory compliance needs.
What industries commonly use drum spill decks?
Drum spill pallets are essential in several industries that store or handle hazardous liquids and chemicals in standard storage drums. These containment solutions are particularly valuable for manufacturing, transport and logistics, automotive workshops, chemical processing, agriculture, and mining.
These pallets can also benefit smaller businesses, such as printing shops, cleaning companies, and maintenance services. They allow them to safely handle chemicals and maintain compliance.
How do you clean a drum pallet?
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to your drum spill deck’s long-term performance. Here’s how to go about cleaning:
- Remove drums and materials from the pallet surface.
- Inspect the containment area for collected liquids or debris. If hazardous materials are present, follow the proper handling procedure according to the SDS.
- Remove the grates and use a mild detergent with water to clean the grates and containment sump, rinsing thoroughly after cleaning.
- Use appropriate absorbent materials to collect liquid from chemical spills. Dispose of used absorbents according to local waste regulations.
- Check for cracks, warping, or chemical deterioration that may compromise the pallet’s integrity, replacing damaged components immediately.
- Allow the pallet to dry completely before replacing the grates and returning the drums to the surface.
