Spill Decks, Pallets, & Platforms
Spill decks, pallets, and platforms provide secondary containment beneath drums, pails, and other containers where liquids are stored, dispensed, or transferred. BASCO offers low-profile spill containment decks and larger containment systems that help keep leaks and spills from spreading across work areas while providing a stable surface for containers.

Keep Spills Contained Where They Happen
Spill containment decks are a practical choice for areas where drums and containers need to remain accessible for everyday use. Their low-profile design makes it easier to load and unload containers while providing a sump underneath to capture leaks, drips, and spills.
For applications requiring greater containment capacity, spill pallets and platforms provide additional options for storing drums, IBC totes, and other containers above a contained sump. When choosing a system, consider the number and size of containers, required sump capacity, available floor space, chemical compatibility, and how containers will be loaded, accessed, and used.
What is the difference between a spill deck and a spill pallet?
Spill decks are typically lower to the ground and work well for dispensing stations and areas requiring frequent container access. Spill pallets generally provide a deeper sump and greater containment capacity.
Can spill decks be connected together?
Some spill deck systems are modular and can be connected to create larger containment areas. Check the specifications of the individual deck and any required connecting components before building a system.
How do I choose the right spill deck?
Start with the type and number of containers being used, required containment capacity, chemical compatibility, available space, and how frequently the containers need to be accessed. Always verify applicable containment requirements for the materials and facility.
From a single drum dispensing station to a larger chemical storage or production area, the right spill deck or spill containment platform provides another layer of protection around liquids being handled every day. BASCO carries spill containment decks, pallets, platforms, and related equipment for warehouses, manufacturing plants, maintenance areas, chemical operations, and other industrial facilities.
