Covered Spill Pallets & Covers

Product code F21-SR-301, F21-SR-302

An outdoor bund fills with rain, and a sump full of water has no capacity left for the spill it exists to catch. A cover is the cheapest way to stop that happening.

Quoted on enquiry

These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them rather than publish one figure that would be wrong for most buyers. Ask and you get the number for your specification.

  • Roller-shutter sump capacity
  • UV and weathering rating
  • Minimum order quantity

Before you order: A cover manages rainwater. It is not a fire-rated enclosure and it does not make an outdoor store compliant on its own: the drain valve regime, the siting away from gullies and the sump sizing all still apply.

The Range

Models in this range

Two covered pallets and four tarp covers. The covers are sized to the pallet they sit over, so order them against the pallet model rather than by drum count.

Dimensions are length × width × height and weights are empty, both nominal. Load figures are the manufacturer’s published values; ask us for the test basis before you specify against them. The figure to check your containment rule against is the sump capacity, not the footprint.

Why It Is Built This Way

What makes this product different

01

Rain is what defeats an outdoor bund

A 240 litre sump standing open through a wet month is a sump with no working capacity. Covering it keeps the volume you paid for and keeps the drain valve shut, which is the control a regulator asks about.

02

Shutter for daily access

A roller shutter opens and closes one-handed, so a store that is worked several times a day does not end up propped open permanently. A hard cover suits a store that is opened weekly.

03

Tarps retro-fit what you already own

A PVC cover sized to a pallet you already have is a fraction of the cost of replacing it with a covered unit, and it ships flat.

04

Weather protection is not fire protection

These keep rain out and dust off. A store that needs fire separation needs a rated cabinet, and we say so rather than letting a cover be read as one.

What this product has to satisfy, market by market

The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. This is what the market asks for; what this particular design already holds is in the specification above.

Orientation for specification, not legal advice, and not a statement that this design holds a given approval. Requirements turn on the exact design, contents and destination, and they change. Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain.

Questions, Answered

The things buyers ask before they order

Why does an outdoor spill pallet need a cover?

Because rain fills the sump, and a sump full of water has no capacity for the spill it exists to catch. Covering it keeps the volume you paid for and keeps the drain valve shut, which is the control an inspector asks about.

Roller shutter or hard cover?

A roller shutter opens and closes one-handed, so a store worked several times a day does not end up propped open permanently. A hard cover suits a store opened weekly. Specify by how often somebody has to get into it.

Can I cover a pallet I already own?

Yes. The PVC tarp covers are sized to two-drum, four-drum, single IBC and double IBC pallets and cost a fraction of replacing the pallet with a covered unit. They ship flat, which is why they are worth adding to an existing order.

Is a covered pallet a fire-rated store?

No. These keep rain out and dust off. A store that needs fire separation needs a rated cabinet with a listing certificate behind it, and we will not describe a weather cover as one.

Does a cover mean I can leave the drain open?

No. The drain regime does not change: the valve stays locked shut, it is opened only after somebody has inspected what is in the sump, and contaminated water is removed as waste. An automatic drain discharges fuel as readily as rain.

What sump does the covered four-drum unit hold?

240 litres, with a static load of 3,000 kilograms and a dynamic load of 1,200. The roller-shutter unit's sump is quoted on enquiry, because it varies with the build.

What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. The covered units are 95 and 176 kilograms and ship as single items; the tarps ship flat and go well as an add-on to a pallet order.
