Abstract
A hazardous material spill skid for use with one or two barrels has a tray with upwardly and outwardly extending side walls and end walls and a bottom wall with an upwardly extending hollow support post. The side and end walls have horizontal flanges with an upper surface coplanar with the upper surface of the support post, and an upwardly extending rim. Preferably, a side wall locking lip is provided on one of the side walls and an end wall locking lip on each end wall to secure a grate to the tray. The grate is preferably a blow molded unit having hollow parallel bars and cross-bars contained within a hollow frame.

A two barrel hazardous material spill skid comprising:
- a rectangular tray comprising a bottom wall, opposed side walls extending upwardly and outwardly from said bottom wall and opposed end walls, of a shorter length than said side walls, extending upwardly and outwardly from said bottom wall, at least a portion of each said side wall and end wall terminating as a horizontally outwardly extending flange having an upper surface, with a vertically upwardly extending rim disposed about the upper ends of said side and end walls;
- a side locking lip on one of said side walls extending inwardly from the upper edge of said rim, and an end locking lip on each of said end walls extending inwardly from the upper edge of said rim, each said end locking lip extending from a location adjacent a central portion of the respective end wall to the side locking lip of said side wall;
- a hollow center post extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said hollow center post having an upper surface in a horizontal plane formed by said upper surface of said horizontally extending flanges;
- and
- a grate resting on said horizontally outwardly extending flanges of said side walls, on said horizontally outwardly extending flanges of said end walls, and the upper surface of said hollow center post of said bottom wall, to provide a support surface for barrels placed on said grate.
