Choose Spill Pallets by Drum Count and Storage Area

Choose Spill Pallets by Drum Count and Storage Area

The right bunded pallet depends on how many drums you store, how you load them and whether the area is indoors or outdoors.

Spill pallets are used to hold leaking oil drums and containers above a built-in sump, helping keep floors cleaner and reducing the risk of contamination spreading through the workplace. In this collection you'll find compact 1-drum units, 2-drum and 3-drum bunded pallets, larger 4-drum models, low-profile bunded floors and inline workfloors that are easier to load without lifting equipment. There are also covered lockable pallets for outdoor storage, racking bund trays for pallet racking bays and converters that turn a standard Euro pallet into a bunded pallet. If you want a plain-English explanation of terms such as bund, sump and workfloor, see our spill containment bunds and pallets glossary.

What to Compare Before You Buy

What to Compare Before You Buy

Most buyers narrow the range by containment capacity, access, container type and where the pallet will be used.

  • Drum capacity: choose from spill pallets for 1, 2, 3 or 4 x 205 litre drums, plus accessories and specialist options for smaller containers.
  • Low-profile access: bunded floors and workfloors are easier to load and unload by hand, and ramp options are available on selected models.
  • Smaller footprint: taller bunded pallets can help store drums in less floor space where access by forklift or drum handling equipment is available.
  • Outdoor use: covered bunded pallets are available when drums need protection from weather and unauthorised access.
  • Forklift handling: all bunded pallets in this range can be moved by forklift truck, but only when no containers are on them.
  • Compliance-led storage: these products are designed to comply with UK oil storage regulations, with containment sized around drum storage requirements.
  • Broader spill control: for clean-up and emergency response, pair your pallet with oil spill kits, chemical spill kits or the wider spill control range.
How to Pick the Right Bunded Pallet

How to Pick the Right Bunded Pallet

Match the pallet style to the liquid type, handling method and storage location before you order.

  • For single-drum storage: choose a 1-drum spill pallet when space is tight or drums are stored separately.
  • For small drum groups: 2-drum and 3-drum bunded pallets suit maintenance stores, workshops and decanting areas.
  • For higher-volume storage: 4-drum spill pallets and inline workfloors are a practical choice for drum stores and production areas.
  • For easier loading: low-profile bunded floors and workfloors reduce the lift height and can be paired with ramps on selected models.
  • For outdoor security: covered, lockable bunded pallets are better suited where containers need to stay protected from rain and tampering.
  • For pallet racking: use a racking bund tray where liquids are stored above ground level in a rack bay.
  • For oils or chemicals: check the compatibility of the stored liquid and choose the appropriate containment and spill response products, such as chemical spill trays, spill kits and drain spill covers.

Frequently asked questions

The things shoppers ask us most about entrance matting.

  • Yes, covered bunded pallets are available for outdoor use and can also be locked for added security. Standard open models may also be used where the material and site conditions are suitable, but covered units are the better choice when weather protection matters.

  • Yes, all our bunded pallets comply with UK Oil Storage Regulations (2001), holding 110% of the largest container’s capacity or 25% of the total volume of all stored containers.

  • Most bunded pallets are made from medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), which is highly durable, chemical-resistant, and weatherproof.

  • Yes, our UV and corrosion-resistant models are designed for outdoor use. For added security, covered bunded pallets are also available.

  • The removable grid deck makes cleaning simple—just remove the grid to access the sump below for thorough maintenance.

  • In practice, these terms are often used to describe the same type of product: a pallet with an integrated sump that catches leaks from drums or containers. Buyers may also see terms such as containment pallet, drum pallet or bunded workfloor depending on the design.

  • Low-profile bunded floors and workfloors are usually the easiest to load because drums and containers sit closer to ground level. Selected workfloor models can also be fitted with ramps to help roll drums on and off more easily.

  • Yes, the bunded pallets in this range can be moved with a forklift truck, but only when there are no containers on them.
