Abstract
Abstract Integrated pallet/drum system as device for safe handling, transportation and storage of water and/or soil contaminating dangerous liquids. The pallet is provided with integrated side-walls (2) extending from the pallet base (4) upwardly and forming a basin for drums (6) positioned on the pallet base (4) wherein the side-walls (2) have such a height that the safety basin is capable of storing the entire content of the drums (6) in case of leakage. To allow stacking of the device corner posts (3) are provided, the upper ends thereof are connected to each other forming an open cage to receive the integrated drums (6) completely. This embodiment allows the stacking of the devices.
