Abstract
A mobile containment pad stores liquid washed from vehicles. At least two modules are attached end-to-end. Each of these modules has a base, side walls and end walls to form a shallow tank. Spaced support members within the tank divide it into a series of troughs and also support a grating to mount a vehicle. A ramp permits the vehicle to be driven onto or off the grating. In accordance with preferred aspects, there are provisions to facilitate cleaning the modules.
