Product Overview

The 4-Drum Fluorinated Spill Pallet, Low Profile (SKU: A1325ACU) from UltraTech provides secondary containment for four 55-gallon drums containing aggressive chemicals. Constructed from fluorinated polyethylene (fluorinated HDPE), this pallet resists hydrofluoric acid (HF), nitric acid, sulfuric acid, organic solvents, and other corrosive substances. The low profile design measures 52" x 52" x 5.75" — just 5.75 inches high for easy drum loading without ramps or lifting equipment. Provides a 44-gallon sump capacity. Supports a 6,000 lb load capacity. No fork pockets or drain plug. Weighs 62 lbs. The light blue color identifies this pallet as rated for aggressive chemical storage. Can be connected to other fluorinated pallets using T-strips (A1431ACU) and bulkhead fittings (A1473ACU) to create expanded containment areas. Ships FREE to the Continental US from AbsorbentsOnline.com — a trusted name in spill containment and safety products since 1985.

Expert Insights

The low profile design (5.75" H) is ideal for facilities where drum loading height is a concern. Drums can be rolled directly onto the pallet without ramps or mechanical lifting. However, the reduced height means lower sump capacity — 44 gallons for four drums does not meet the EPA 110% rule for any single 55-gallon drum (60.5 gallons required). This pallet is best suited as a spill deck for drip/leak containment rather than catastrophic drum failure containment. For higher sump capacity with fluorinated construction, consider the A1233ACU (66-gallon sump, 10" H) or A1232ACU (66-gallon sump with drain). The modular design allows connecting multiple pallets using T-strips (A1431ACU) for physical joining and bulkhead fittings (A1473ACU) for liquid flow between units. This creates expandable containment areas for larger chemical storage operations. The 6,000 lb load capacity supports four fully loaded 55-gallon drums with significant safety margin. Inspect quarterly for fluorination integrity and surface cracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the low profile model over the higher sump version?

The low profile design (5.75" H) allows drums to be rolled directly onto the pallet without ramps or lifting equipment. This is ideal for high-traffic areas where frequent drum loading and removal is needed.

Does the 44-gallon sump meet EPA requirements?

The 44-gallon sump provides drip and leak containment but does not meet the EPA 110% rule for a single 55-gallon drum (60.5 gallons required). For higher sump capacity, consider the A1233ACU (66-gallon sump) or A1232ACU (66-gallon sump with drain).

Can I connect multiple low profile pallets together?

Yes. Use T-strips (A1431ACU) to physically join pallets side by side and bulkhead fittings (A1473ACU) to allow liquid flow between connected units. This creates expandable containment areas for larger storage operations.

What is the load capacity per drum?

The 6,000 lb total load capacity supports all four drums simultaneously. This provides approximately 1,500 lbs per drum position — well above the weight of a full 55-gallon drum.

Is this pallet suitable for outdoor use?

The fluorinated HDPE construction resists UV and weather exposure. However, without a drain plug, rainwater will accumulate and reduce available sump capacity. For outdoor use, consider adding a cover or using the drain-equipped A1232ACU model.
