Our truckies do a pretty great job. With a country as large as Australia it’s easy to take for granted just how efficient we have become in the transport of freight. Driving a truck is a huge responsibility and if you have ever taken the wheel of these heavy vehicles, you can certainly appreciate the skill involved to drive safely. In all weather, 24hours a day, 7days a week there are always trucks on the road getting the job done.
Outside of the type and sometimes class of cargo being carried, these vehicles are at risk of leaking liquid pollutants into the environment. Other heavy vehicles and machinery like diggers, drum rollers, asphalt pavers etc also face similar challenges. Operating vehicles of all types face a risk of accidental fluid releases. This may happen from breakages during operation such as ruptured hydraulic lines, leaks when the vehicles are parked up, during loading and unloading or even during emergency repairs on the side of a road. A further challenge is the number of different fluids vehicles contain. Accidental liquid releases may include engine oils, fuels like diesel and gas, coolants, battery acid, power steering fluid, hydraulic and brake fluids. Windshield washer fluid may even be considered.

The important thing is that drivers are prepared for ‘on road’ spills. One way of being ‘spill ready’ is to have a Spill Kit on board with prior training in its proper use. Below are 3 Spill Kit options that will assist with the clean-up of accidental fluid releases. Each Spill Kit listed is 30L and is supplied in a weatherproof PVC carry bag. Larger size Spill Kits are also available.
