Portable hazardous waste pallet structure

Claim 1

A portable pallet structure for material carrying containers comprising: a confined rectangular chamber defined by integral corrosion-resistant polyethylene bottom and side wall members with the side wall members extending in a generally vertical direction from the bottom wall members shaped so that said confined chamber includes a plurality of spaced rows of confined subchambers with rows of access passages extending therebetween in crossing relation separate from said confined subchambers to permit insertion of container lifting means from any side of said confined rectangular chamber, said side wall members further defining an upper peripheral skirt providing an upper common confined chamber portion extending over and in communication with said subchambers, said peripheral skirt being shaped to include a peripherally extending internal support ledge; a corrosion-resistant fiberglass grating serving as a pervious container support platform including first and second sets of spaced bars with the spaced bars of said sets being interconnected in cross relation and shaped to selectively direct spilled material flow through said upper common confined chamber portion to said confined subchambers, said grating being sized so that the peripheral edges thereof rest on said peripherally extending internal support ledge of said peripheral skirt; and, a secondary corrosion-resistant polyvinyl or polyethylene support tube sized to be removably disposed within the central subchamber of said plurality of spaced rows of confined subchambers, said secondary support container including a plurality of apertures therein to allow spilled materials therein to flow to said surrounding subchambers and being positioned and sized to provide an undersupport for said grating thereabove.
