Abstract
A hazardous material spill skid has a tray and a pair of interchangeable grate members for support of industrial drums. The tray has a bottom and upwardly and outwardly extending walls that terminate as horizontal flanges with an outer rim and inward lips. A hollow center post is provided with four arms, one of which extends towards each corner of the tray. A pair of blow molded, hollow, interchangeable grate members rest on the horizontal flanges of the side and end walls of the tray and directly on two of the arms of the center post to provided support for the grate member and drums placed thereon.
