Manufactured from high-density polyethylene with a roll-top lockable door, 230-litre sump, and integral forklift pockets, it provides compliant secondary containment for oils, chemicals, acids, and alkalis in line with Irish EPA Oil Storage Regulations (S.I. 235 of 2004). Delivered fully assembled and ready to use.
Manufactured from polyethylene for broad chemical compatibility this unit has a lockable roller-top door to prevent unauthorised access and integral base fork pockets to aid transportation.
Will hold 2 x 205ltr drums or smaller containers and comes assembled and ready to use.
The BP2HC Hard Covered Spill Pallet is purpose-built for outdoor or exposed-area storage of up to 2 x 205-litre drums or equivalent smaller containers. Its rigid polyethylene enclosure and lockable roller-shutter door protect drum contents from rainwater ingress, UV exposure, and unauthorised access – making it the right choice for outdoor chemical storage in yards, loading bays, and plant rooms across Ireland.
The bund base and cover are manufactured entirely from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing corrosion-free performance and compatibility with a wide range of stored substances including mineral oils, lubricants, detergents, acids, alkalis, and industrial cleaners. The 230-litre sump exceeds the regulatory requirement to contain 110% of the volume of a single 205-litre drum.
A removable injection-moulded mesh deck provides access to the sump for inspection and cleaning, while integral base forklift pockets allow the unit to be safely moved around site when empty. The BP2HC is delivered fully assembled – no installation tools required.

COMPLIANCE NOTE
Under S.I. 235 of 2004 (EPA Oil Storage Regulations, Ireland) and the Dangerous Substances Regulations, secondary containment for drum storage must hold a minimum of 110% of the largest single container’s volume. The BP2HC 230-litre sump exceeds 110% of a 205-litre drum (225.5 litres required). For 2-drum storage, it must hold 25% of total volume (102.5 litres) – the 230-litre sump satisfies both conditions.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
- Install on a firm, level surface (concrete preferred)
- Do not install on uneven ground or timber
- Clearly label drum contents including hazard pictograms
- Do not mix incompatible chemical spillages in the sump
- Inspect sump quarterly for accumulated liquid; drain and dispose in accordance with Irish EPA waste regulations
FAQ
Q: Does the BP2HC come with a padlock?
A: The BP2HC features an integral lock mechanism on the roller-shutter door. A padlock can be added for additional security; confirm with SSI Environmental at point of order.
Q: Can the BP2HC hold drums smaller than 205 litres?
A: Yes. The BP2HC can accommodate 2 x 205-litre drums or an equivalent combination of smaller containers, including 25-litre, 60-litre, and 110-litre containers, provided the total stored volume does not exceed the sump’s capacity relative to regulatory requirements.
Q: Is the BP2HC suitable for flammable liquids?
A: The polyethylene BP2HC is suitable for non-flammable chemicals, oils, and water-based liquids. For ATEX or DSEAR-classified hazardous areas or flammable liquid storage, please contact SSI Environmental to discuss steel or fire-rated containment solutions.
Q: Does the BP2HC need to be bolted to the ground?
A: No bolting is required for standard use. The unit should be positioned on a stable flat surface. In high-wind or exposed locations, or where additional security is required, bolt-down kits are available.
