Spill Pallet FAQ
Concise answers for EHS, warehouse, chemical storage, maintenance and procurement teams.
What is a spill pallet?
A spill pallet is a secondary-containment unit with a sump beneath a supported grating. It is placed under drums, IBCs or other liquid containers to collect leaks and drips.
How do I calculate the required spill pallet capacity?
List every stored container and check site policy and applicable local regulations. Required containment volume varies by jurisdiction, substance, container arrangement and indoor or outdoor conditions.
Can one spill pallet be used with every chemical?
No. Verify the pallet body, grating, drain and seal materials against the exact liquid, concentration, temperature and expected exposure duration.
Can spill pallets be moved while loaded?
Only when the exact model is designed and rated for loaded transport. Forklift pockets may be intended only for empty positioning, so follow the manufacturer instructions.
What information is required for a spill pallet quote?
Provide container type and quantity, footprint, liquid, required sump volume, total load, handling method, drain preference, quantity and destination.
