Spills of oils, greases, chemicals, and other liquids are among the biggest challenges for manufacturing, industrial, and construction operators. Leaks happen during movement and equipment operation, and effects include regulatory violations, work stoppages, slip-and-fall hazards, and environmental incidents.
Safeguard the job site, personnel, and the environment from unwanted liquid spills with containment pans. Arm-Tex supplies containment pans from Polystar Containment, a premier fluid retention manufacturer, in various configurations and sizes.
What’s A Spill Containment Pan?
A containment pan is used to contain incidental fuel and hazardous material spills during the transfer from a vehicle to another device. Manufactured from strong yet durable fiberglass, it can be driven over and bear heavy loads. Advantages of Polystar spill containment pans include:
- Limited site preparation
- No excavation needed
- Fast and clean installation
- Immediate use
- Non-porous design
- Superior chemical resistance
- Portability
Durable, Long-term Performance
Containment pans have a crack-free surface and low-profile design, making them perfect for use with all vehicle types, from large tanker trucks to small passenger cars. They’re manufactured from quarter-inch-thick steel plates coated with a 1/16-inch fiberglass lamination, which boosts durability, reliability, and corrosion resistance. A high-performance gel coating provides ultraviolet light protection. Sidewalls used to capture lost fluids have angular shapes, permitting safe vehicle passage.
Ball valves or passive shutoff filters allow rainwater to drain but are easy to close when liquids needing to be trapped are released. Floor drains can be installed if desired.
An optional safety railing is available to support workers when on a containment pan. This prevents slip-and-fall incidents, which boosts employee morale and on-the-job performance.
