Containment Sheds & Storage Units
Containment sheds and storage units provide dedicated space for drums and containers that need protection and secondary containment. BASCO offers industrial containment storage solutions for chemicals, oils, lubricants, waste liquids, and other materials stored for indoor and outdoor storage applications.

Choosing the Right Enclosed Drum Protection Known as Spill Containment Pallets
Questions to help you decide:
1. Need enclosed protection for just one drum, or as many as 96?
BASCO has enclosed 4 drum spill containment pallet and 55 gallon drum spill containment pallet options available.
2. Will the drums be stored outside or inside?
For outside: Check out our lightweight enclosed 2 Drum Outdoor Spill Containment Pallet that is available with or without a drain
3. What frequency and type of access is required?
We have different enclosed barrel containment pallets that come with drains for fast dispensing and a container ramp to attach to the containment pallets for frequent trips.
4. Does the secondary containment unit need to be forkliftable?
Our enclosed 2 Drum Outdoor Spill Containment Pallet is forkliftable too.
5. What sump capacity is required?
We have sump capacities as high as 264 gallon to contain large amounts of spills and leaks such as with the enclosed Enpac Outdoor Storage And Dispensing With Drain Plug For Two Drums.
Add Containment and Protection to Storage Areas
When drums need more than an open spill pallet, a containment shed or storage unit can provide a dedicated area for storing containers while helping contain leaks and spills. Enclosed and covered designs can also provide additional protection for containers and materials stored outdoors. These systems can be used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, chemical operations, maintenance facilities, construction operations, and other industrial locations where drums, IBCs, and liquid materials require organized containment storage.
What is a containment storage shed used for?
Containment sheds provide a dedicated area for storing drums, IBC totes, and other containers while incorporating secondary containment to capture leaks or spills.
Can containment sheds be used outdoors?
Many containment sheds and covered storage units are designed for outdoor applications, but the specifications of the individual unit should be reviewed for its intended environment.
What can be stored in a containment unit?
Depending on the unit and material compatibility, containment storage can be used for drums and IBCs holding chemicals, oils, lubricants, waste liquids, and other industrial materials.
How do I choose the right containment storage unit?
Consider the number and size of containers, required sump capacity, materials being stored, available space, indoor or outdoor use, and how containers will be loaded and accessed.
BASCO can help you find containment sheds, drum storage units, and secondary containment equipment suited to the application. Choose a system based on the containers, materials, location, and capacity needed to keep storage areas organized and prepared for leaks or spills.
