Spill Deck Pallets
Let's face it—chemical spills are a nightmare for any workplace. They put your team at risk, lead to compliance headaches, and always seem to happen at the worst possible moment. That's where spill decks come into play, catching those inevitable drips and spills before they become major problems.
At Spillbase, we have spill containment decks to give your team some breathing room to respond while keeping you on the right side of workplace regulations. Explore our range below and give your workplace the protection it needs.
Secondary Containment Solutions to Safeguard Workplaces
Proper spill bunding protects your team, facility, and the environment from hazardous substance exposure. Spill deck containment pallets provide essential secondary containment for workplaces that handle chemicals, fuels, and other potentially dangerous liquids in smaller containers.
These low-profile systems catch and contain leaks before they spread, giving your team critical response time while preventing contamination of work areas, drains, and waterways. Spill decks are engineered for smaller containers and offer flexible protection where you need it most.
Our pallets feature:
- Durable construction resistant to most chemicals and corrosives
- Non-slip surfaces for secure container placement
- Low-profile design for easy access and loading
- Compliance with NZ environmental regulations
- Compatibility with deck bladder systems for expanded capacity
These systems are essential for businesses handling hazardous substances, from laboratories and manufacturing plants to warehouse and maintenance workshops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much capacity do I need for my spill deck and bladder system?
The required capacity depends on the volume of liquid you’re storing and any applicable regulations. In New Zealand, the general rule is that a secondary containment system should hold at least 110% of the volume of your largest container or 25% of the total stored volume—whichever is greater.
Pairing your containment system with a deck bladder system provides additional capacity for larger spills. The bladder expands as needed to capture overflow from the deck itself, providing a complete containment solution.
What’s the difference between a spill deck and a containment drum pallet?
A spill deck and a drum spill containment pallet serve similar functions but are used for different container sizes and storage needs.
Spill deck pallets are ideal for smaller containers and jerry cans, featuring a lower profile and more modest capacity. This shallow design makes them perfect for environments handling smaller quantities of hazardous materials.
Drums, however, have deeper sumps and a higher containment capacity. They"re common in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other industrial settings where hazardous substances are stored.
How do I clean and maintain my spill containment deck?
Proper maintenance ensures your spill containment deck remains reliable. For routine cleaning:
- Remove any containers.
- Sweep away debris.
- Wipe down the surface with a mild detergent and water solution.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the containment deck to completely dry before replacing containers.
If a chemical spill occurs, proper clean-up depends on the substance involved. First, refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and wear appropriate PPE. Then, absorb the spilled material using compatible absorbents and clean the surface with the appropriate cleaner. Finally, you must dispose of all contaminated materials according to local regulations.
Regularly inspect your system for cracks, deformation, or damage that could compromise its integrity. Drainage ports and connections must remain clear and functional, especially if you have a connected deck bladder system.
Are spill deck containment pallets modular?
Yes—our modular design allows you to create customised secondary containment areas that perfectly fit your storage needs and available space. Modular systems feature connection ports, enabling you to join multiple units securely. Modular systems allow you to:
- Adapt your system as requirements change
- Create custom configurations for unique workspace layouts
- Separate incompatible materials while maintaining a unified containment area
When connecting spill deck containment pallets, ensure all connections are properly secured, and the combined system maintains the required containment capacity for your stored materials. For specific connection options and compatibility between different models, check the product specifications or contact our team for advice.
What are the most common spill deck applications?
These secondary containment solutions are used across several industries and applications, including:
- Laboratories and testing facilities storing chemicals in smaller quantities.
- Maintenance workshops containing oils, solvents, and cleaning agents used in equipment servicing.
- Manufacturing plans for storing process chemicals, paints, and additives near production areas.
- Warehouses and storage facilities handling hazardous chemicals and materials.
- Hazardous waste collection sites.
These are just some industries that benefit from our spill deck pallets" versatile, low-profile design.
