Drive-over barrier provides heavy-duty custom containment
There are many ways to create a custom spill containment area. Each has its own advantages. But whether it’s concrete, steel or one our own spill berms, there’s a limitation. You can’t drive over the walls. Until now.
The Ultra-Berm Builder, Plus Model has the versatility of the standard model but the additional ruggedness and mounting option for a more permanent installation that can be driven over.
Product Highlights
- Create permanent containment on concrete, asphalt and most sealed areas.
- Heavy-duty, 40-ounce, vinyl-coated fabric can withstand traffic from trucks, forklifts and other vehicles.
- Open-cell foam core compresses to approximately 1/4" when driven over and springs back to shape when vehicles pass.
- Secures to the floor with sealant (not included) and is reinforced with pre drilled aluminum mounting strips (included) and steel anchors (included).
- Can be used with standard Ultra-Berm Builder.
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all listed product measurements are L x W x H, outside dimensions, and for a single unit where quantity is more than one.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend 2 feet of clearance on all sides of the item within the berm if space allows. For example, if your truck is 8 feet wide by 55 feet long, we would suggest a 12’ x 60’ berm.
-
Ground tarps and track belts are available to add layers of protection. But there are some “operational” precautions you can take as well. It may seem obvious, but hard braking/skidding will likely cause damage. Depending on the model, driving over the sidewall at the wrong angle can cause damage, so turning prior to completely exiting the berm should be avoided. One way to prevent this is to put a warning cone (or line of cones if possible) as a visual reminder to drivers to steer straight until clear of the cone(s) before turning.
