No unwanted crushes
August 19th 2008

When you buy spill containment equipment, in particular spill pallets, drum stacking units and drum dollies you don’t expect them to collapse or break under the weight of the drums.

But this is what could happen with low grade polyethylene, according to supplier of ENPAC Spill containment products Forth Systems.

ENPAC products are made from 100 % Virgin HDPE (high density polyethylene) which is stronger than medium density and up to 20% stronger than low density so it takes much more weight to crush it, break it or make it collapse explains the company.

“There is much responsibility on companies to comply with regulations such as the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 and The Water Environment (Oil Storage) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the penalties enforced by organisations such as The Environment Agency can be very high,” explains Stephen Mansell, of Forth Systems. “We know our quality products won’t let the customer down and will continue to provide a high level of spill control for many years.”
