Drum Spill Decks

Product code F21-SD-101 / -102 / -201 / -202 / -301 / -401

Containment for drums that are being worked rather than stored. The deck sits low enough to roll a drum on without a ramp, and the open grate shows a leak instead of hiding it.

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.

Before you order: A deck is sized for drums in use, not for a bunded store. Where a regulator sets a percentage of total stored volume, a deck sump will usually fall short of it and a full spill pallet is the right product. Tell us the rule you are working to and we will say which applies.

The Range

Models in this range

Thirteen decks and versions, from a single-drum tray to a four-drum platform. Two load figures mean static / dynamic; UDL is a uniformly distributed load.

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

Low enough to load without a ramp

At 10 to 15.5 cm a drum can be walked on and off by hand. That is the difference between a deck people use and a deck that gets left empty beside a drum standing on bare floor.

02

The grate is the inspection

An open grate lets an operator see standing liquid on a walk past. A closed tray hides the leak until someone lifts something, which is usually after the drum has emptied.

03

Decks join up

The grated two-drum decks have level walls and built-in clips, so a drum rolls from one deck to the next and a row of them reads as one platform rather than four islands.

04

Drain plug where the sump gets rain

The drain-plug versions empty through a hexagonal plug instead of being tipped. Outdoors that is the difference between draining rainwater in two minutes and lifting a full sump.

Compliance by market

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

How do I know whether I need a spill deck or a full spill pallet?

A deck is for drums being worked: low profile, small sump, easy to load and unload by hand. A pallet is for drums in storage and holds a burst drum rather than a drip. If your regulator sets a percentage of total stored volume, a deck sump will usually fall short and you want the pallet.

What sump capacity do these decks hold?

From 30 litres on the ultra-low single-drum tray to 170 litres on the four-drum deck. Every model and its sump is in the table on this page, because the sump is the number your containment rule is checked against, not the footprint.

Can a drum be loaded without a ramp?

On the 10 cm ultra-low trays, usually yes. From 15 cm upward use a ramp: a filled 200 litre drum is around 200 kilograms and levering it up a step is how drums get dropped. We supply ramps sized to the deck height.

What is the difference between the static, dynamic and UDL load figures?

Static is the deck standing still and loaded. Dynamic is the deck lifted and moved while full, and it is always the lower number. UDL is a uniformly distributed load, spread evenly across the deck. Ask us for the test basis before you specify against any of them.

Will polyethylene hold my chemical?

It resists most acids, alkalis and water-based chemicals and it will not rust, but some solvents craze it. A sump also meets the liquid neat and often diluted by rainwater, which is harsher than the storage condition. Send us the liquid and the concentration and we will confirm it.

Why choose the galvanised steel grate?

Because drums get rolled and levered across it. The steel grate takes that punishment where a plastic one scars, at the cost of weight: 29 kilograms against 14 on the two-drum deck. Specify steel for a busy yard and plastic for a clean indoor position.

What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. Tell us the models and quantities and we will confirm both, along with the freight, since these are bulky and the container fill decides the landed cost more than the unit price does.
