Buying Guide: Spill Containment Pallets for IBC Containers

Compared to drum spill pallets, IBC spill pallets are characterized by their significantly larger containment volumes of 600 L or 1,000 L. This requirement arises from WHG regulations mandating that the containment pallet must be able to hold the contents of the largest stored container. IBCs are commonly available in 1,000 L and 600 L sizes, necessitating pallets with equivalent capacities.

A pallet designed for storing intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) must offer significantly higher load capacities and be appropriately sized. IBC spill pallets are always equipped with an optimized base construction to facilitate handling with pallet jacks and forklifts.

What IBC Spill Pallets Does MEILLER Offer?

Our IBC spill pallets are available in steel and stainless steel. Both materials come in various sizes to accommodate 1 to 3 containers, with optional filling areas.

• Steel IBC Spill Pallets: Available in galvanized or painted finishes, these are suitable for compliant storage of flammable liquids or water-polluting substances. The storage levels are made of galvanized grating, with a material thickness of 3 mm in accordance with StawaR.
• Stainless Steel IBC Spill Pallets: These are ideal for storing flammable liquids, water-polluting substances, and aggressive chemicals due to the material’s properties, making them the most versatile option. Stainless steel pallets comply with StawaR requirements with a material thickness of 2 mm. Our stainless steel pallets are available for 1, 2, or 3 IBC containers. Customers can choose between stainless steel grades 1.4301 or 1.4571 and galvanized steel or stainless steel grating for the storage level. This comprehensive portfolio represents the most versatile range of IBC pallets worldwide.

What Equipment Options Are Available for IBC Spill Pallets?

To facilitate IBC handling and simplify filling processes, some spill pallets feature pre-positioned filling areas. Pallets with filling areas have an extended depth to create space for this function. Additionally, optional filling platforms are available to securely position an IBC and ease the filling process.

IBC Spill Pallets for 600 L IBCs

In addition to the standard 1,000 L containers, 600 L IBCs are common in many industries. To save space, 600 L spill pallets are the preferred choice rather than using oversized pallets.

Spill pallets for 600 L IBCs are available in galvanized or painted steel. Customers can select models with grating and filling areas or without filling areas but equipped with support profiles.

IBC Spill Pallets for 3 IBC Containers

For operations regularly dealing with multiple IBC containers, spill pallets for 3 IBCs are ideal. These pallets meet legal requirements for hazardous material storage and enable space-saving storage of multiple containers. For even larger quantities of IBCs, pallet racks with integrated spill pallets are an excellent solution.

Economy-Line IBC Spill Pallets with Support Profiles

Typically, grating is used as the support surface for IBC spill pallets. As a cost-effective alternative, MEILLER offers economy-line IBC pallets with galvanized steel support profiles instead of grating. These models are available in galvanized or painted finishes for 1 x 600 L or 1 x 1,000 L IBCs.
