1 x 1000ltr IBC Spill Pallet with removable deck – BB1
An excellent addition to the safe storage of IBCs on your site. Manufactured from polyethylene this IBC spill pallet is light-weight and very durable. Removable decking is provided for easy cleaning and integral fork pockets mean it can be quickly and easily moved around your site.

The BB1 IBC spill pallet is designed for the safe, regulation-compliant storage of a single 1,000-litre Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC). Manufactured from lightweight, corrosion-free polyethylene, the BB1 offers significant advantages over galvanised steel alternatives — including lower weight, broad chemical compatibility, and 100% recyclability at end of life. The BB1’s 1,100-litre sump precisely meets the Irish EPA 110% secondary containment requirement for a 1,000-litre IBC, ensuring full regulatory compliance under Guidance Note NG3 and SI 311 of 2016. The removable polyethylene deck elevates the IBC above the sump — ideal for IBCs with plastic pallet bases — and can be lifted out for cleaning or removed entirely to accommodate IBCs with metal bases. Integral 4-way forklift pockets allow safe relocation of the empty unit across your site.

Why Choose Polyethylene Over Steel IBC Pallets?

• 100% corrosion-free — no rust risk from chemical spills or outdoor moisture
• Lightweight (91kg vs 150–200kg+ for steel equivalent) — easier to reposition
• Broad chemical compatibility — suitable for acids, alkalis, oils, and fuels
• Lower maintenance — no painting, no rust treatment required
• Fully recyclable at end of product life
• Competitive pricing vs galvanised steel models

For extremely aggressive chemicals or high-temperature applications, SSI Environmental can advise on steel pallet alternatives.

Applications — BB1 IBC Spill Pallet

• Chemical and process manufacturing plants
• Food and beverage production (cleaning chemicals, additives)
• Pharmaceutical facilities (solvents, process chemicals)
• Agricultural chemical storage (pesticides, herbicides, fertiliser liquids)
• Oil and fuel distribution depots
• Construction and civil engineering sites
• Waste management and water treatment facilities
• Industrial washing and surface treatment operations

FAQ

What sump capacity do I need for a 1000-litre IBC?
Under the Irish EPA 110% secondary containment rule, a single 1,000-litre IBC requires a minimum sump capacity of 1,100 litres. The BB1’s 1,100-litre sump exactly satisfies this requirement, ensuring full compliance with Irish EPA Guidance Note NG3 and SI 311 of 2016.
What is the difference between the BB1 (with deck) and BB3 (no deck)?
The BB1 has a removable polyethylene mesh deck that elevates the IBC above the sump — best for IBCs with plastic pallet bases. The BB3 has no deck, making it suitable for IBCs with metal pallet frames. Both have identical sump capacities and compliance ratings.
Can I move the BB1 with a forklift when the IBC is loaded?
No — the BB1 should only be moved when empty. Remove the IBC before repositioning. The integral 4-way forklift pockets are designed for moving the empty pallet safely around your site.
Is the BB1 suitable for outdoor use?
The BB1 is primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor IBC storage, SSI Environmental recommends the BB1C (soft-covered IBC bund), which includes a weather-resistant cover to prevent rainwater accumulating in the sump and reducing effective containment capacity.
What chemicals can be stored on the BB1?
The BB1 is compatible with mineral oils, diesel, lubricants, coolants, mild acids, alkalis, and most industrial solvents. For aggressive chemicals, oxidising agents, or high-concentration acids, contact SSI Environmental for specific compatibility advice based on your chemical data sheet.
Does the BB1 comply with Irish EPA regulations?
Yes. The BB1 meets the requirements of Irish EPA Guidance Note NG3 for secondary containment of hazardous liquids. Its 1,100-litre sump satisfies the 110% rule for a single 1,000-litre IBC. It is suitable for use at EPA-licensed facilities, IDA Ireland business parks, and any commercial site with a duty-of-care obligation under Irish environmental law.
