Covered Spill Pallets

Covered drum spill pallets are an essential component of hazardous material storage and spill containment, designed to provide enhanced protection for drums and containers in both indoor and outdoor environments. These specialised pallets feature a protective cover, which can be either a soft tarpaulin-like material or a hard, durable enclosure, offering additional safeguards against environmental factors such as rain, UV rays, and potential tampering.

The primary advantage of covered spill pallets is their ability to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the containment sump, a common issue with open-top pallets used outdoors. This feature ensures that the full capacity of the sump remains available for containing potential spills, maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and reducing the risk of overflow during heavy rainfall. Additionally, the cover protects the stored materials from direct sunlight and other weather-related degradation, potentially extending the shelf life of sensitive chemicals or materials.

Many covered spill pallets are designed with user-friendly features to facilitate easy access and handling of the stored containers. For instance, some models are equipped with retaining catches to hold them open during loading and unloading operations. This design not only enhances safety by preventing accidental closure but also improves efficiency in material handling processes. The lockable roller door spill pallets provide an added layer of security, deterring unauthorised access and reducing the risk of theft or tampering with hazardous materials.
