New Pig Utility Containment Tray 40in x 40in x 5in - Durable Spill

In this review of the New Pig Utility Containment Tray, the reviewer finds it a practical, heavy-duty solution for temporary containment of small containers and liquid-handling tasks. The single biggest reason to buy is its thick-wall, chemical-resistant polyethylene construction that resists bending and warping, giving dependable containment when catching drips, fluid changes, or runoff. For garages, workshops, maintenance bays, hydroponic setups and light industrial use, this tray offers peace of mind by keeping floors protected from accidental spills.

Key Features

• Thick-wall construction: The polyethylene walls are sturdy enough to resist bending and warping, so the tray retains shape under normal load without deforming.
• Chemical resistance: The material stands up to a wide range of common automotive and workshop fluids, making it suitable for transmission fluid, radiator flushes, and similar tasks.
• Rips on bottom: Reinforced bottom ribs elevate stored parts and add strength, keeping items out of pooled liquid while improving load distribution.
• Generous capacity: The 26.92 gal sump capacity and 36in x 36in interior bottom provide ample catch area for multiple small containers or larger drips.
• Stackable design: Trays nest for compact storage when not in use, saving space in a shop or storage room.
• Easy to clean: Smooth polyethylene surfaces wipe out quickly after use, reducing downtime between jobs.

Who It's For

The tray is best for DIY mechanics, small shops, maintenance crews, growers using hydroponics, and anyone who needs a durable portable containment base for routine fluid work. Its chemical-resistant polyethylene and large 26.92 gal sump make it particularly useful where oils, coolants, or cleaning solutions must be contained temporarily.

Those who need permanent, large-capacity containment for multiple drums or long-term hazardous storage should look at purpose-built spill pallets and cabinets; this tray is designed for temporary storage and service tasks rather than long-term hazardous material storage.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy-duty polyethylene construction that resists bending and keeps the tray flat under load.
• Effective size and interior bottom dimensions that catch spills from larger items without overflowing.
• Reinforced bottom ribs that lift parts away from trapped liquids and add structural strength.
• Stackable and easy to clean, which simplifies storage and maintenance.

Cons

• As a low 5in-high tray, it is intended for temporary use and small containers, so it is not a replacement for dedicated drum containment systems.
