A cover is the cheapest way to stop that happening. ## Documents before you order Documents for this design: the specification sheet and drawing.

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. ## 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. | | Model | Dimensions | Sump | Load | Weight | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | F21-SR-301 · Roller-shutter covered pallet | 149 × 99 × 169 cm | On request | — | 95 kg | | | F21-SR-301 · Four-drum, hard cover | 170.5 × 155 × 191 cm | 240 L | 3,000 / 1,200 kg | 176 kg | | | F21-SR-302 · PVC tarp, two-drum pallet | 130 × 70 × 130 cm | — | — | — | | | F21-SR-302 · PVC tarp, four-drum pallet | 130 × 130 × 130 cm | — | — | — | | | F21-SR-302 · PVC tarp, single IBC pallet | 135 × 135 × 173 cm | — | — | — | | | F21-SR-302 · PVC tarp, double IBC pallet | 220 × 130 × 173 cm | — | — | — | 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. ## 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. ## Where it goes ### Outdoor chemical stores ### Construction sites ### Quarrying & mining ### Agriculture ### Utilities & depots ### Temporary works ## Construction, specification and use Our distributors give their own buyers this same breakdown. ## 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.

Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain. ## 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. ## More in Spill Containment & Site Safety Spill containment ### Drum Spill Decks F21-SD-101 / -102 / -201 / -202 / -301 / -401 Low-profile polyethylene decks for drums in use, with open grates that make a leak visible before it becomes a loss.
