Ride-Side Berm™
Category: Spill Prevention
The Ride-Side berms helps site operators ensure that their secondary containment requirements are met, even when it comes to large and hard-to-contain vehicles. The drive-in drive-out design needs very little human intervention and is available in multiple options.
Vehicle containment for the toughest customers
We designed the Ride-Side berm with large vehicles in mind. Its collapsible walls allow vehicles to enter and exit without manual assistance. It is ideal for fuel transfer area containment or temporary secondary containment around tanker trucks. The tough, rugged design excels in toughest environments. It is available in a choice of fabrics: Chem-shield fabric or Arctic Shield fabric. It also comes with the option of eyelet patches on the exterior, for added security. Ride-Side’s collapsible entrance and exit walls easily withstand the heaviest wheeled and tracked vehicles while containing leaking vehicle fluids or other hazardous materials. Collapsible hands-free flotation walls allow vehicles to repeatedly enter and exit the berm without manual setup. We use a durable foam inside the end walls. These end walls float when the berm is filled with water. As with all of our berms, the Ride-Side Berm meets EPA regulation 40CFR112.7.
Vehicles can often have their wheels and tires contaminated by toxic substances that it must drive through. Wheels then carry residue into the environment. Therefore, site operators need to be sure that they take the same precautions against this as other potential causes of spills. However, this can often be difficult to manage. With the Ride-Side, compliance is easy. The berm is available in several standard sizes. Custom sizes are also available on request, ensuring even your most difficult containment needs can be met.
