Robust, safe, and reliable: our bunded pallets are a product you can depend upon. Made in the UK using only the highest-quality materials, these bunded pallets allow you to store drums and liquid containers safely, ensuring your business comply with oil and chemical storage regulations.
Choose from a wide range of spill pallets to store anything from small containers to four standard 205-litre drums. Options for hardcover versions are available if you need greater security, and all come with a removable plastic grid deck for easy cleaning.
Bunded pallets, otherwise known as spill pallets, spill trays, and secondary containment items, are used to store standard 205 litre drums and other types of canisters safely. They are designed to collect spills and drips from leaky drums and containers. Any leaks that occur will drip safely into the leak-proof sump below, preventing contamination of potentially hazardous materials, and damage to the flooring.
Bunded pallets come in various shapes and sizes to suit different industries and uses. Smaller pallets with a lower fluid capacity are designed for storing single drums or a few smaller containers. Medium-sized bunded pallets can handle multiple 205-litre drums, while covered spill pallets can prevent unauthorised access or keep drums out of sight and away from the elements.
The bunded spill pallets are typically made from medium-density polyethylene, which provides broad range chemical compatibility. Most also have removable plastic grids for easy cleaning. For those dealing with flammable liquids or hazardous substances, our pallets offer compliant storage solutions.
Aside from the main benefit of catching spills and leaks from containers and oil drums, our range of bunded pallets has many other advantages over competing models. The grid-like decking on the top of the pallet can be quickly removed, allowing users access to the sump below. This makes cleaning the pallet easier and safer than with more complex designs. Users benefit from a weatherproof PE (medium density polyethylene) construction that is often 100% recyclable. Most models in the range are compatible with forklifts and pallet trucks for easy and safe movement on-site - except for our black base ‘value' range.
Our bunded pallets are also compliant with current UK oil storage regulations. The Oil Storage Regulations (2001) require that for the outdoor storage of oil or fuel, a bunded pallet or similar secondary containment item must be in place to ensure any leaks or spillages are safely contained in the sump. Our bunded pallets are designed to hold 110% of the capacity of the recommended container quota. Therefore, if used correctly, any leakages or spillages from containers will not exceed the pallet sump capacity, ensuring no contamination or safety issues.
The most typical uses are in industrial and manufacturing settings, especially where oil drums and containers risk leaking. However, spill pallets can be used in any workplace or environment where containers have the potential to leak hazardous materials.spill pallets can be used in any workplace or environment where containers have the potential to leak hazardous material For example, where a bund might be necessary to prevent contamination or spillages of chemicals or other fluids, bunded pallets could be the answer. Spill containment pallets can also be used in commercial and some residential settings.
The best bunded pallet to choose for your workplace depends on several factors:
Bunded pallet options are available to store one, two, three, or four drums or a mixture of drums and other types of containers. Customers can also choose between low-level or regular-height sumps. For instance, our robust spill pallet designs offer high sump capacities and chemical resistance, making them ideal for aggressive chemicals.
All our robust spill pallets are safe storage compliant and can hold 110% of the largest drum, or 25% of the total volume of all containers. This means the sump capacity must be at least 225 litres, but allows pallets to accommodate more drums without becoming too large. For example, the typical sump capacities are:
Our ‘standard' range is made from black recycled plastic, has low-level sumps and provides an easy-to-use option for customers who need compliant oil storage pallets at an affordable price. Available models in the standard range include a Single Drum Pallet, Two Drum Pallet and a Four Drum Pallet.
Our yellow base range bunded pallets have greater capacity and greater durability. In addition, they are made using weatherproof PE construction and are compatible with forklifts and pallet trucks for easy transportation.
We also sell a range of bunded workfloors that offer compliant storage for 205-litre drums but with a lower profile for easier access. As with the larger pallets, the bunded workfloors include removable plastic mesh decks and chemical-resistant bunds for safe storage of hazardous liquids.
Our hardcover spill pallets, available in two- and four-drum varieties, are for users who need to lock drums securely behind a rolling door.
Finally, if you store large IBC containers, see our IBC spill pallets. They offer safe and compliant storage for 1000-litre IBCs and other large containers.
