Pallets and spill trays are a reliable solution for the safe storage and transport of liquid substances. They protect against leaks and environmental contamination, and also help to meet health and safety and ADR requirements. Made of durable polyethylene (PE), they are resistant to chemicals, moisture and damage. Paleteo offers drip trays for drums, 200-litre barrels and 1,000-litre containers that ensure complete safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Pallets and spill trays – safe storage of liquid substances
What is a spill tray or pallet and what is it used for?
Spill pallets and trays are reliable pieces of equipment for any warehouse, production plant or workshop where liquids are stored, especially those that are hazardous or potentially harmful to the environment. Their purpose is to contain spills, protect work surfaces and prevent soil and groundwater contamination.
Thanks to their special design with a retention bottom, spill pallets allow barrels, IBC containers (mauzers) and smaller tanks to be placed safely. In the event of a leak, the liquid collects in the tray, eliminating the risk of environmental contamination and improving work safety.
Why use collection trays and pallets?
Compliance with health and safety regulations and standards
The use of collection trays is required in many industries, especially in the chemical, food, automotive and logistics industries. Their use helps to meet health and safety, ADR and environmental protection requirements.
Safety and environmental protection
Each spill tray effectively retains spilled liquids, minimising the risk of fire and contamination. This not only protects employees, but also complies with environmental standards.
Durability and resistance
Pallets and spill trays made of polyethylene (PE) are resistant to most chemicals, oils and acids. They do not corrode, are lightweight and extremely durable.
Versatile application
With a variety of sizes and designs – from compact drum trays to 1000-litre drum models – you can easily tailor the solution to your needs.
