A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain spilled liquids.

If your business use volatile chemicals or oils in your business, then one of your main concerns as far as drum handling equipment goes is to reduce the possibility of accidents or spills. Aside from the costs and health issues associated with spilling volatile or expensive chemicals the major concern is reducing a risk of injury to your staff. Because accidents happen, it is important to put as many safety measures such as Easy Rack spill pallets in place to minimize the risk of release when a barrel topples over.

A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain any liquids that slosh out of a drum and prevent them from spreading across the floor. Any liquid can be captured in a reservoir under the pallet. There are a number of different models of spill pallets available from Easy Rack that are manufactured for various circumstances, although they all work in roughly the same way.

In general, the pallets need to be made from a non reactive material such as a plastic. Mostly, the material of choice is polyethylene. This is lightweight enough to be carried well on the fork lift, and can resist damage from almost any liquid that might be spilled as it is being moved around.

Depending on the kind of materials that you are moving around in oil drums, you can choose different Easy Rack spill pallets with various storage capacities for dealing with spills. From oil drum pallets that can contain just nine gallons of liquid through to much larger units that up to two full 55 gallon drums, and handle 120 gallons of spilled liquid.

The principal time when you will need a spill pallet is when drums are being moved around the workplace from one location to another. It is at this time, when the motion of the fork lift can cause a drum to topple over that it is most important to prevent spillage. Generally, it is not necessary to keep the drums stored on a spill pallet, as there is no need or justification for the additional cost in terms of a storage solution.
