Containment tub - how to choose
Published on: 24-01-2022
Sump trays are a proven product in the storage of IBCs, drums and other containers with industrial liquids, chemicals and oils. Sump trays are available in many capacities. When choosing a sump pallet, it is important to remember that it is accepted to use a sump tray that will accommodate the contents of the largest container placed on it, or 10% of the stored volume. On the other hand, if you are storing drums and other containers of liquids in areas where waters are protected - the sump tray must accommodate 100% of the volume of all containers stacked on it.
PALETEO sump trays are made of high-quality plastic. Importantly, they are very easy to clean.
