What makes chemical storage different

Heavy, liquid and regulated

Drums and totes are heavy, round or bulky, and full of liquids the fire marshal cares about.

1Drums do not stack well

A 55-gallon drum weighs hundreds of pounds and rolls; cradles and racks keep it secure and reachable.

2IBC totes take the floor

Totes stored on the ground waste height; rated racking takes them up a level or two.

3Spills must be contained

Spill pallets and decks under the load keep leaks off the floor.

4Fire-code rules set the layout

Flammable and hazardous liquids have their own storage rules; layouts follow what your fire marshal and insurer require.

Chemical storage racking FAQ

Ask our team

or call 971-337-6608

How do you store 55-gallon drums on racking?

Upright on pallets on rated beam levels, or on their side in drum cradles that hold them steady for dispensing.

Can IBC totes go on pallet racking?

Yes, on racking rated for the load, usually with decking under the tote; we size the beams and frames for the full tote weight.

What about spill containment?

Spill pallets and containment decks sit under drums and totes to catch leaks; we lay them into the racking plan.

Are there fire-code rules for chemical racking?

Yes. Flammable and hazardous liquids have their own storage rules; we lay out the racking to what your fire marshal and insurer require and prepare the permit drawings.

Do you install drum racks?

Yes: supplied and installed, anchored and checked.

Chemical, drum and tote storage racks

Chemical storage means heavy drums, bulky IBC totes and fire-code rules. Lenokers supplies and installs drum racks, tote racking and pallet racking for chemical distributors, manufacturers and plants: rated beam levels for drums and totes, drum cradles for dispensing, spill containment, open decking and protection, laid out to what your fire marshal requires.

Drums on racking

Drums ride upright on pallets or on their side in cradles, on beam levels rated for their weight.

Decks under liquids

Wire decking lets sprinkler water through; solid decks suit small containers.

Keeping loads in the rack
