Salvage Drums & Spill Response Storage

Product code F21-SR-101, F21-SR-201

What you reach for once the containment has done its job. A salvage drum overpacks a failed container so it can be moved; the cabinets and carts keep the absorbent within walking distance of the store.

Why It Is Built This Way

What makes this product different

01

A salvage drum moves the problem

A split 200 litre drum cannot be lifted, rolled or transported. A 95 gallon overpack swallows it whole, and the failed container leaves the site inside something sound.

02

Wheeled sizes go to the spill

A spill happens where the drum was, which is rarely next to the forklift. Every size is available on wheels so one person can bring the overpack rather than wait for plant.

03

Kit storage decides response time

Absorbent kept in a store cupboard on the far side of a building is absorbent that arrives after the liquid reaches the drain. A cabinet or cart at the bund is the whole point of buying one.

04

Four storage formats, one decision

An upright cabinet for a wall, a wide cabinet for under a bench, a cart for a large site and a 65 litre box for a vehicle. The choice follows how far the responder has to walk.

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

What is a salvage drum for?

Overpacking a container that has failed. A split 200 litre drum cannot be lifted, rolled or transported, and a 95 gallon overpack swallows it whole so the failed container can leave the site inside something sound.

Which size do I need?

The rule of thumb is one size class above the container you are overpacking. A 95 gallon drum at 360 litres takes a standard 200 litre drum with room for absorbent. The 20 and 30 gallon sizes are for pails and small containers.

Are these UN approved for transporting damaged dangerous goods?

Moving a damaged dangerous goods package is a regulated operation and needs salvage packaging approved for the class involved. We supply the drum; ask us what approval it carries for your class and packing group before you plan to move anything hazardous in it.

Why buy the wheeled versions?

Because a spill happens where the drum was, which is rarely next to the forklift. Every size is available on wheels so one person can bring the overpack to the spill instead of waiting for plant.

Do you supply the absorbent as well?

The cabinets, carts and boxes on this page are the storage. Fill specification is quoted separately, because a universal pad, an oil-only pad and a neutralising absorbent behave differently and the right one depends on what you store. Tell us the liquids and we will specify the fill.

Which storage format should I choose?

It follows how far the responder has to walk. An upright cabinet for a wall next to the bund, a wide cabinet for under a bench, a mobile cart for a large site, and a 65 litre box for a vehicle. Absorbent kept on the far side of a building arrives after the liquid reaches the drain.

What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. Salvage drums are moulded air and ship poorly, so send us the destination with the quantities and we will quote the freight alongside.
