Built for intermediate bulk container (IBC) tanks, these pallets handle larger spills and heavier loads than other plastic pallets. They’re made of polyethylene plastic, so they’re good for use with chemicals, including acids. However, for environments with heavy wear and tear, steel pallets are the better choice. These pallets have a removable grating for easy cleaning.

When choosing a pallet, consider the surface area and capacity you need. For number of 275-gallon tanks gives you a sense of the surface area of your pallet, while capacity tells you how much liquid it can hold. When used correctly, these pallets meet EPA 40 CFR 264.175. Choose a pallet that’s large enough to hold either 10% of the total capacity of all the containers on it or the full capacity of the largest container—whichever is greater.

Pallets without a drain have fewer possible leak points, but they’re harder to clean after a spill.

Drape a box-shaped tarp (sold separately) over tanks stored outside to protect them from the elements.

Use a bucket (sold separately) to catch spills and drips when dispensing from the tank. The bucket holds up to three gallons. When the bucket fills too high, excess liquid is released into the pallet via an internal drain.
