For
shippers and commodity receivers that have infrequent tank car or tanker
truck deliveries, this forklift movable model can provide adequate spill
containment. This model comes factory-equipped with a plugged, 2" NPT
hub drain which can be customer equipped with hose connection quick-connect
fittings and then hose-connected to an auxiliary "full volume" containment
moat or tank. This model allows you to have spill protection anywhere
along the spur track or in improvised tanker truck unloading locations.
The patented, hinged lids close over the top when not in use to form a
sloped roof which allows for outside storage between uses, and also avoids
the collection of rainwater, snow and debris. This 1700 lbs. unit can
be quickly positioned under a tank car or tanker truck once the vehicle
has been choked. When opened, you now have a protected area 10 ft. by
12 ft. and it will self-contain around 300 gallons of liquid. The FLT's
have been designed so that they can be stacked on top of each other saving
storage space. Be sure to specify the size and position of your forklift
truck's tongs when ordering. Normal design is for a 3" by 5" tong sleeve
with 30 inches between centers.
