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.

  • Coating specification for your contents
  • Chemical resistance statement for your liquid
  • Minimum order quantity

Before you order: Steel is non-combustible but it is not chemically inert. Acids and some aqueous salts attack both galvanising and powder coat, and a corroded sump leaks exactly where it is not being watched. Confirm the coating against your contents before you specify.

The Range

Models in this range

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

Non-combustible, which is the whole reason to buy it

A flammable liquid store assessed against a fire scenario cannot have a polyethylene bund in it. Steel is the only answer to that question, and it is why this line exists alongside a cheaper plastic one.

02

Double-layer, not a folded tray

Two layers of 3 mm sheet give the sump a floor that is independent of the load-bearing structure above it. A single-skin tray carries the drum weight through the same metal that has to stay liquid-tight.

03

Galvanised or coated, by what it catches

Hot-dip galvanising for outdoor life and general service; powder coat where the colour codes the contents or the finish has to match a chemical. Tell us the liquid and we will say which.

04

Mobile without losing the sump

The wheeled single and two-drum versions keep the full sump volume and add a handle, so the bund travels with the drum instead of the drum leaving the bund.

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

Why specify steel over polyethylene?

One reason usually decides it: a flammable liquid store assessed against a fire scenario cannot have a combustible bund in it. Steel is the only answer to that question. The second reason is solvents, which craze polyethylene that holds detergent happily.

What does double-layer 3 mm sheet steel mean in practice?

Two layers of 3 millimetre sheet, so the sump floor is independent of the structure carrying the drum weight. A single-skin tray carries the load through the same metal that has to stay liquid-tight, which is where a cheap steel bund fails.

Powder coated or hot-dip galvanised?

Hot-dip galvanising for outdoor life and general service. Powder coat, in red, yellow or blue, where the colour codes the contents or the finish has to suit a particular chemical. Tell us the liquid and we will say which applies.

Is steel chemically inert?

No, and that is the trap. Steel is non-combustible, which is different. Acids and some aqueous salts attack both galvanising and powder coat, and a corroded sump leaks at the seam where nobody is looking. Confirm the coating against your contents before you specify.

Can these be moved once loaded?

The single and two-drum models are available with wheels and a handle, and they keep the full sump volume. The drum models have a 100 millimetre forklifting height for pallet-truck handling. The IBC models are fixed installations at 190 and 250 kilograms empty.

How much sump do they hold?

203 litres on the single-drum, 215 on the two-drum, 216 on the four-drum, and 1,200 or 1,400 litres on the IBC models. Note that the four-drum pallet holds barely more than the single: a steel bund is sized for a burst container, not for the sum of what stands on it.

What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. Steel pallets are heavy, 65 to 250 kilograms empty, so the freight is a material part of the landed cost and we quote it with the product rather than after it.
