Spill Pallets Ireland: Drum & IBC Bunded Pallets

A spill pallet is a bunded platform that holds drums or IBCs and captures any leak in an integral sump beneath them, preventing environmental contamination and keeping you compliant. SSI Environmental supplies 2-drum and 4-drum pallets, covered and hard-covered versions, and IBC bunds for 1,000-litre containers - all in one place, filterable by drum count, cover and IBC.

What is a spill pallet?

A spill pallet (or bunded pallet) is a platform designed to contain leaks and spills from stored hazardous liquids. Drums or IBCs sit on a grated deck; any leak drips through into an integral sump below, where it is safely held until it can be dealt with. Made from chemically-resistant polyethylene, spill pallets keep stored oils, fuels and chemicals from reaching the floor, drains and ground, and are a core part of meeting IPC-licence, ISO 14001 and insurer requirements.

Choose your pallet: three simple filters

1. By drum count

  1. 2-drum pallets (e.g. BP2) - for two 205-litre drums; compact footprint for smaller stores.
  2. 4-drum pallets (e.g. BP4, with high-capacity sump) - for four 205-litre drums.

2. By cover type

  1. Open - for indoor use where rainwater is not a concern.
  2. Covered / soft-cover (e.g. BP4C) - a cover keeps rain out so the sump capacity stays available outdoors.
  3. Hard-cover (e.g. BP2HC) - a rigid lockable cover for security and weather protection.

3. IBC bunds

  1. IBC spill pallets (e.g. BB1 with removable deck, BB3 / BB4 no-deck) - bunded containment beneath 1,000-litre IBCs.
  2. Soft-covered IBC bunds (e.g. BB1C, BB2C) - covered IBC containment for outdoor storage; plus IBC funnel lids (DF200).

How to size a spill pallet

Two things drive the choice: how many (and what size) containers you're storing, and where. Match the pallet to the drum or IBC count, choose covered or self-bailing for outdoor locations so rain doesn't fill the sump, and check the sump capacity meets the containment requirement that applies to you (commonly 110% of the largest container). SSI Environmental will confirm the right pallet for your storage and duty.

Spill pallet FAQs

  • What is a spill pallet used for?
    To store drums or IBCs of oil, fuel or chemicals safely - any leak is caught in a sump beneath the containers, preventing contamination of floors, drains and ground and helping you stay compliant.
  • What is an IBC spill pallet?
    A bunded containment unit that sits beneath a 1,000-litre IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container), capturing leaks and spills. SSI supplies single- and twin-IBC versions, with or without a deck, and soft-covered options for outdoors.
  • What size sump do I need?
    As a general rule the sump should hold at least 110% of the largest container it serves. The exact requirement depends on the regulation or licence that applies to your site - we can advise.
  • Should a spill pallet be covered?
    Outdoors, yes - an open pallet collects rainwater that reduces the sump capacity available for a spill. A covered or hard-cover pallet keeps the capacity available and protects the drums.
