What are Oil Drip Trays?

Oil drip trays, also known as oil drain pans, help capture oil and coolant/anti-freeze drips, preventing them from damaging floors or causing slips. Unlike bunded spill pallets designed for oil drums and large containers, these drip trays are used to catch small drips and leaks from vehicles or machinery with limited space.

Made from tough plastic, they come in various sizes to suit different needs. The smallest drip trays have a capacity of 2 litres, making them ideal for small vehicles or for storing liquid containers. Many more trays are available with various sump capacities of up to 100 litres, ideal for working on everything from motorcycles and cars up to trucks, lorries, and workshop machinery.

The low height of these trays allows them to be easily placed underneath machines and cars, making them essential tools for keeping your workshop clean and safe while performing maintenance, changing oil filters, or for vehicles in storage.

How Does an Oil Drip Tray Work?

Oil drip trays and drain pans have a wide, shallow base to capture oil and other fluids cleanly and safely. Some models combine a drain pan and container, safely holding the oil in an enclosed shallow box. Other trays feature pouring spouts, handles, or wheels, making it easier to handle and move the waste oil without risking spills.

Top Tip: Line your oil drip trays with oil absorbent pads to make capturing oil leaks even easier.

Benefits of Using an Oil Drip Tray

Using a makeshift container for an oil change can quickly result in messy and hazardous spills. Oil drip trays capture waste oil and anti-freeze safely and easily, minimising the risk of oily residues on the floor. They are cost-effective, easy to clean and store, and come in various shapes and sizes to fit underneath any vehicle or machine. Easy to use and requiring no training, they are suitable for both DIY and professional mechanics.
