Expert Insights
The 2,000 lb load capacity provides excellent safety margin — a full 55-gallon drum of water weighs approximately 460 lbs. The square 26" x 26" footprint fits neatly in standard rack bays and storage areas. For drum loading, the optional ramp (A1689SDE) provides safe ground-level access without lifting.
Inspect quarterly for cracks, warping, and chemical degradation. The polyethylene construction resists most oils, fuels, and mild chemicals. For aggressive chemicals (acids, solvents), consider the fluorinated single drum pallet (A1323SDU). Document this containment unit in your SPCC plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load capacity of the A1633SDE single drum pallet?
The pallet supports up to 2,000 lbs — far exceeding the weight of a full 55-gallon drum (approximately 460 lbs for water). This provides an excellent safety margin for industrial use.
Does the 12-gallon sump meet the EPA 110% containment rule for a 55-gallon drum?
The 12-gallon sump provides secondary containment for drips and small spills but does not meet the 110% rule for a full 55-gallon drum (which requires 60.5 gallons). This pallet is ideal for partially filled drums or as supplemental drip containment.
Is a loading ramp available for this pallet?
Yes. The optional Yellow Pallet Ramp (A1689SDE) is designed specifically for this pallet and provides safe ground-level drum loading access.
Can this pallet be used for aggressive chemicals?
Standard polyethylene resists most oils, fuels, and mild chemicals. For aggressive chemicals such as acids or solvents, use the fluorinated single drum pallet (A1323SDU) which provides a chemical-resistant barrier.
How does this compare to a round spill tray?
The square footprint (26" x 26") is more space-efficient in rack bays and along walls compared to round trays. The 12-gallon sump also provides slightly more capacity than the 10-gallon round trays (A1614SDE/A1615SDE).
