Drum storage racking with spill pallet

Drum storage racking with spill pallet are systems designed for the safe storage of drums containing liquids, chemicals, or potentially hazardous materials. They consist of:

• a load-bearing structure for storing the drums
• a lower spill pallet, designed to catch any leaks or accidental spills, preventing liquids from spreading into the work environment.

They therefore allow drums to be organized across multiple levels, optimizing available space in warehouses, workshops, industrial facilities, and production departments. The category includes models for 60- to 200-liter drums, with 2 or 3 tiers, for mixed horizontal and vertical storage or vertical storage only.

The choice of drum storage racking with spill pallet depends on several technical factors:

• Number and capacity of drums to be stored: for example, 60- or 200-liter drums
• Storage method: horizontal or vertical
• Number of levels: choosing between 2- or 3-tier models
• Type of liquid stored: verifying compatibility with the bunded pallet
• Capacity of the spill pallet: to be evaluated based on the volumes stored
• Intensity of use: frequency of transfer, dispensing, access to drums, and handling
• Required accessories: such as transfer supports, canopies, or protective corner bumpers

It is important to verify the compatibility of the racking with the intended use and with the regulations applicable in your operating environment.

Drum storage racking with spill pallet can be designed for horizontal, vertical, or mixed storage.

• Horizontal storage: recommended when drums are to be used for transfer or tapping; the drum is placed horizontally on the rack beams and can be combined with accessories such as transfer supports, which facilitate drum emptying operations.
• Vertical storage: drums are placed upright directly on the spill pallet or on pallets resting against the beams, a perfect solution for handling with a forklift.

In some models, the lower beam can be removed to position drums vertically directly on the spill tray, in addition to those positioned horizontally above them (mixed storage). In other, larger-capacity models, storage is exclusively vertical on pallets.

When handling hazardous or potentially polluting liquids, the use of drum storage racking with spill pallet is essential to collect any accidental spills and prevent contamination of the work environment. The capacity of the spill pallet must be appropriate for the stored liquids and comply with applicable regulations.

Yes, provided you choose drum storage racking with spill pallet designed for the installation of a canopy. The ability to add a wind- and snow-certified canopy allows for outdoor storage along the sides of warehouses, frees up indoor space, and reduces exposure to hazardous substances, in compliance with regulations on the storage of hazardous liquids.

Drum storage racking with spill pallet not only allow for the collection of any spills but also enables the organization of drums across multiple levels, fully utilizing the vertical space in the warehouse. Compared to a single bunded pallet, they offer several advantages:

• greater organization in the storage area
• better accessibility to the drums
• optimization of available space
• the ability to store more drums in an organized manner
• greater safety during storage and transfer operations
• the possibility of outdoor storage thanks to the canopy

For this reason, it is a suitable solution for companies, warehouses, workshops, and production facilities that need to manage large quantities of drums safely and in an orderly manner.
