A heavy duty solution for safely containing liquids. Made of 12 gauge steel, these pallets won’t crack if they’re hit and won't melt if there's a fire. All meet EPA regulations for storing hazardous liquids. However, they might corrode if exposed to chemicals. Remove the grating for easy cleaning.

When choosing a pallet, consider the surface area and capacity you need. For number of 55-gallon drums gives you a sense of the surface area of your pallet, while capacity tells you how much liquid it can hold. For your system to meet EPA 40 CFR 264.175, the pallet must hold either 10% of the total capacity of your shipment or the full capacity of the largest container—whichever is greater.

Style B pallets don’t nest, so you can access the forklift entry points even when they’re stacked.

Add a ramp to wheel drums onto your pallet with a hand truck.

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 for 2 tanks have a single, continuous basin and can't be separated into individual pallets.

Pallets without a drain have fewer possible leak points, but they’re harder to clean after a spill. Pallets with a drain remove excess liquid, so you don’t need to remove the tanks or pump the liquid out.

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.

A flexible alternative to spill-control pallets, these trays collapse when not in use for easy storage.

Style A have flexible sidewalls that spring back into shape. Drive over them to drop drums directly onto the mat.

Style K can hold a 55-gallon drum. Its octagonal shape provides greater spill control than same-sized round containers.

Store hazardous liquids up and out of the way. These basins can be placed directly on the beams of a pallet rack, helping you maximize floor space. Simply set your pallet on top to create a spill-control system. Made of polyethylene, they won’t degrade from most chemicals, including acids. To comply with EPA 40 CFR 264.175 standards, the basin must hold either 10% of the total capacity of all the containers on it or the full capacity of the largest container—whichever is greater.

You can use a forklift to place these basins on your pallet rack. Your pallet sits flush on top, so its fork entry points stay accessible.

Basins without a drain have fewer possible leak points than those with one. Basins with a drain are easy to clean after a spill. Just hook up a 3/4 garden hose to drain liquid away—no need to lift the basin or pump liquid out from the top.

Store hazardous liquids outside and away from people and workspaces. These sheds are made of polyethylene, so they resist most chemicals, including acids. Their roll-up doors offer access from the front or back to move containers, dispense liquids, and protect contents from the elements. All have two or more holes to secure with padlocks (not included).

For use with 55 gal. drums or 275 gal. IBC tanks, these sheds meet EPA 40 CFR 264.175 when used correctly. Choose a shed 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.

Sheds without a drain have fewer potential leak points, but they’re harder to empty after a spill. Sheds with a drain let you empty liquid after a spill without having to remove containers or pump liquids out through the top.

Sheds with a removable grating are easy to clean.

Sheds that hold two 275 gal. tanks have a single, continuous basin, so they can’t be separated into individual sheds.

Unassembled sheds are simple to put together—no fasteners required.

Add a bucket (sold separately) to catch spills and drips when dispensing from the tank. The bucket holds up to 3 gallons. When the bucket fills too high, excess liquid is released into the well of the shed.

Style A have recessed rings to secure drums and “HAZARDOUS” stenciled on the side.

Style B has removable grating for easy cleaning.

Molded indentations hold 55-gallon drums while in transit. When stored in racks, they require a supporting deck surface.

When stored in racks, these pallets require a supporting deck surface.

Compared to plastic pallets, steel pallets offer the highest load capacities. You can store them directly on the beams of a pallet rack. Unlike nestable pallets, they can be stored in stacks for easy forklift access.

Built to rest directly on the beams of a pallet rack. Unlike nestable pallets, these pallets can be stored in stacks for easy forklift access.

Made from new, heat-treated wood, these pallets are stronger and more durable than what you’ll find at your local pallet yard. The edges are straight and the dimensions are consistent. Unlike pallets made from recycled wood, they’re free of cracks and other defects. They also last longer, although they’re not as durable as pallets made from plastic or metal. These pallets sit flush when stacked, so you can access entry points with your forks. All are stamped with ISPM 15 approval, so you can ship them anywhere in the world.

To store these pallets on a pallet rack, you’ll need a supporting deck surface.

42" × 42" pallets are sized to hold nine stacks of standard 5 gal. pails in a 3 × 3 grid. 48" × 48" pallets are sized to hold four standard 55 gal. drums in a 2 × 2 grid.

GMA pallets are the most common type of pallet in the United States. They’re made to specifications set by the Consumer Brands Association (CBA). EPAL 1 pallets, also known as Euro pallets, comply with the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). They’re built to European Pallet Association standards—right down to the type of nails used—and stamped with approval.

Note: Capacity while moving assumes the pallet is supported by standard 42" forks. For pallets 72" and deeper, moving capacity is based on 72” forks.

Lightweight yet sturdy, these aluminum pallets are only half the weight of steel alternatives. They’re welded together to create a durable platform that will outlast cardboard, wood, and plastic. Since aluminum is not flammable, you don't have to worry about these pallets posing a fire hazard. They also resist corrosion, so you can use them outside.

Also known as rackable pallets, they don’t require decking underneath, so you can put them directly on the beams of your pallet rack. Unlike nestable pallets, these pallets can be stored in stacks for easy forklift access. You can ship them anywhere in the world, since they’re exempt from ISPM 15 regulations.

Pallets with a vented surface are a good choice for refrigeration and washdown applications—the gaps allow cool air to flow through and water to drain out.

Pallets with a solid surface work well for transporting irregularly shaped goods, since they distribute weight evenly. They give full surface support, preventing narrow or small items from slipping through the cracks.

40" × 48" pallets are the most common size in the United States.
