# IBC & Multi-Container Spill Pallets

Product code F21-IB-101 / -102 / -103 / -201 / -202 / -301

One IBC holds a thousand litres, so the containment under it is the largest single purchase in this range. Eight models, from a 120 litre low-profile deck to a triple-IBC pallet an operator can walk onto.

## Documents before you order

Documents for this design: the specification sheet and drawing. Ask for them with your enquiry and check them against your own requirements before you order.

Samples take 7 to 15 days. Tell us the model, the finish and the delivery country.

## Minimum order and lead time

The minimum order is quoted per model and customisation. A standard production run takes about one month, confirmed against your specification at quotation.

### Quoted on enquiry

These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them for your specification on request.

- Chemical resistance statement for your liquid
- Minimum order quantity

**Before you order:** IBC pallets are quoted against a nominal tank. Cage dimensions vary between tank makers, and a pallet that fits a 1,000 litre tank from one supplier can foul the cage feet of another. Send us the tank you actually run.

## Models in this range

Eight pallets and decks for one, two or three IBC tanks, with sumps from 120 to 1,600 litres. 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.

## What makes this product different

01

### Linking is how you reach the percentage rule

Bulkhead fittings let neighbouring pallets share one volume. Where the rule is a percentage of everything stored rather than of the largest tank, two linked 250 litre sumps do what one pallet cannot.

02

### Step-on height on the triple

At 46 cm an operator reaches the tank valves from the pallet without a ladder. Every tap, sample and hose connection on an IBC happens at the outlet, so the height decides whether the store is workable.

03

### Low-profile where the ceiling is the limit

A 20 cm deck under a 1,000 litre IBC keeps the fill point inside reach of a standard forklift mast. The tall pallets add sump volume and use up headroom.

04

### Open version takes drums too

The heavy-duty open model has integral upstands and no grate, so it accepts either a 1,000 litre IBC or a standard pallet of drums. One purchase covers a store whose mix changes.

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.

## The things buyers ask before they order

### Will this fit my IBC?

It depends on the tank, not the litre figure. Cage dimensions vary between tank makers and a pallet that suits one supplier's 1,000 litre tank can foul the cage feet of another. Tell us the tank you actually run and we will confirm the fit before you order.

### How do the linkable pallets increase capacity?

Bulkhead fittings pass liquid between neighbouring pallets, so a row of 250 litre sumps behaves as one volume. That is how a store reaches a percentage-of-total requirement that no single pallet would meet on its own. Each linkable unit ships with one connector and two bulkhead fittings.

### Which model can an operator work from without a ladder?

The triple IBC pallet at 46 centimetres. Every tap, sample and hose connection on an IBC happens at the outlet, so the pallet height decides whether the store is workable. The taller pallets add sump volume and use up headroom.

### Can any of these go in racking?

The low-profile rackable version, to a racking load of 600 kilograms. Nothing else in this range is rated for a rack.

### What is the open version without a grate for?

It has integral upstands and takes either a 1,000 litre IBC or a 1200 by 1100 millimetre pallet of drums. One purchase covers a store whose mix changes between tanks and drums.

### Do these nest for return freight?

The standard IBC spill pallet nests empty, which matters on a product that is mostly moulded air. Ask us for the nested container quantity when you quote, because it changes the landed cost more than the unit price does.

### What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. Send us the tank type, the number of positions and the destination and we will come back with the specification and the freight together.
