Overview
Barron Equipment and Overhead Door carries the DR series of drum spill pallets — heavy-duty polyethylene containment platforms built to capture leaks and spills from 55-gallon drums and similar containers. These spill pallets for drums come in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-drum configurations, giving facilities of all sizes a straightforward and reliable secondary containment option.
Each model features a patented grid pattern drainage deck that channels liquid spills into a containment sump below the grating. This deck design also reduces sloshing when drums are moved on the pallet, which is a practical benefit in active warehouse and production environments. The DR series is compatible with most hazardous chemicals and industrial liquids, and can be used alongside other containment equipment to build a more complete spill control setup.
| SKU | Weight Capacity | Drum Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| DR-1-UT | 800 Lbs | 1 Drum |
| DR-2-UT | 3000 Lbs | 2 Drums |
| DR-3-UT | 4500 Lbs | 3 Drums |
| DR-4-UT | 6000 Lbs | 4 Drums |
Features & Benefits
DR series drum spill containment pallets are made from molded polyethylene with a patented drainage deck that directs spills into the sump below the grating, where liquid collects for removal or recovery. Each unit includes a built-in drain plug and fork pockets for easy repositioning with a forklift or pallet jack. Sump capacities range from 62 gallons on the DR-1-UT to 99 gallons on the DR-3-UT. Load capacities run from 800 lbs. on the single-drum model to 6,000 lbs. on the four-drum DR-4-UT. All models carry a 1-year limited warranty.
The polyethylene resin used in production includes a high-rated UV package that supports long service life in outdoor settings. The expected lifespan is at least ten years, though actual performance depends on the chemicals contacted and the conditions of use. These pallets are built for environments where chemical exposure, UV light, and heavy loads are part of everyday operations.
Applications
DR series drum spill pallets support safety and compliance in a wide range of industrial environments. Common applications include:
- Chemical storage and liquid dispensing areas in manufacturing plants
- Petroleum product handling in automotive and fleet service facilities
- Hazardous materials zones in warehouses and distribution centers
- Laboratories storing liquid reagents or solvents in large containers
- Fleet maintenance areas where oils and lubricants are dispensed from 55-gallon drums
- Loading dock areas where drums are staged during receiving or shipping operations
EPA 40 CFR Part 264.175 requires that secondary containment hold at least 10% of the total stored volume or the full volume of the largest container — whichever is greater. Drum spill containment pallets keep leaks and spills contained at the source before they reach floor drains or spread to surrounding areas. Matching the right model to your drum count and sump capacity is the most direct way to maintain a compliant storage area.
Selection Assistance
Barron Equipment and Overhead Door can help you find the right drum spill pallet for your facility. Our team can guide your decision based on drum count, sump capacity requirements, chemical compatibility, and whether the unit will be used indoors or outdoors.
The DR series includes four models to cover the most common drum storage setups. The DR-1-UT holds one drum at up to 800 lbs. with a 62-gallon sump. The DR-2-UT supports two drums at 3,000 lbs. with a 66-gallon sump. The DR-3-UT handles three drums at 4,500 lbs. and offers the largest sump capacity in the series at 99 gallons. The DR-4-UT accommodates four drums at up to 6,000 lbs. with a 66-gallon sump.
Before selecting a model, confirm that the sump capacity meets the regulatory requirements for the volume and type of liquid being stored. Multiple units can also be used together to extend containment coverage as your storage needs grow.
