Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use IBC pallets?
Quality pallets for IBCs are essential across numerous industries where bulk liquids and chemicals are stored and handled. They"re commonly used in the following sectors:
- Manufacturing: Storing raw materials, process chemicals, cleaning agents, and finished liquid products.
- Agriculture: Containing pesticides, fertilisers, and other agricultural chemicals.
- Chemical Processing: Managing hazardous substances and preventing cross-contamination.
- Food and Beverage: Bulk storage of oils, concentrates, and liquid ingredients.
- Oil and Gas: Containing lubricants, additives, and process fluids.
These are just some of many industries that benefit from our robust IBC spill containment pallets. Even smaller operations in these sectors find our solutions invaluable for maintaining workplace safety standards.
How do I clean and maintain IBC spill containment pallets?
Unlike smaller spill deck pallets, an IBC spill pallet requires some extra consideration due to its size and weight capacity. Here"s how to ensure the longevity of pallet:
- Check Load-bearing Components: Examine support ribs and connection points that bear the substantial weight of loaded IBCs, looking for stress fractures and deformation.
- Clear the Sump: Remove any liquid from the containment area. If hazardous materials are present, follow proper handling procedures according to the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
- Clean Surfaces: Clean the support surface and containment sump with a mild detergent and water solution. For stubborn residues, use a soft brush; avoid abrasive materials.
- Rinse & Dry: Completely rinse away the cleaning agents, as some may react with spilled chemicals in the future. Allow the IBC pallet to dry thoroughly before placing the containers back on the surface.
For chemical spills, proper cleaning will depend on the substance involved. Always refer to the SDS, wear appropriate PPE, use compatible absorbents, and dispose of contaminated materials according to local regulations.
What is the typical sump capacity of an IBC spill pallet?
IBC spill pallets have significant sump capacities, ensuring they can properly handle potential leaks from these large-volume containers. Depending on the model, our pallets range from 1,000L to 1,363L, providing comprehensive containment for standard intermediate bulk containers.
The substantial capacity of these pallets provides crucial response time during leak incidents, allowing your team to address situations safely and minimise workplace and environmental contamination. This capacity is key to maintaining regulatory compliance and operation safety for bulk liquid storage.
Can IBC plastic pallets be used outdoors?
Yes—our pallets feature UV-stabilised polyethylene to resist degradation from sunlight exposure, allowing you to store IBCs outdoors. However, preventing rainwater accumulation in the sump is essential to maintaining spill containment capacity. To address this, consider:
- Using a weather-resistant cover to protect the pallet from rain.
- Installing the pallet under shelter to shield it from the elements.
- Choosing a model with an integrated hardtop cover.
These measures will help maintain the functionality and compliance of our IBC plastic pallets.
