Plant Nappy
Manufactured in the UK by Cowens. Innovative secondary spill containment solutions engineered to capture fuel, oil, and chemical drips while allowing clean rainwater to filter through freely.
Plant Nappy® Secondary Containment
Designed to replace heavy, water-filled metal drip trays. The Plant Nappy® sits beneath mobile machinery, generators, and pumps to absorb hydrocarbon leaks while permitting clean rainwater escape via its permeable side walls.
- ✔ Prevents oil overflow risks during wet and rainy jobsite conditions
- ✔ Crush-resistant side walls allow machinery and vehicles to drive directly over
- ✔ UV and chemical-resistant non-woven geotextile construction
- ✔ Available in Small, Medium, Large, and custom site dimensions
Replaceable Liners & Plant Mats
Extend the operational lifespan of your Plant Nappy with removable absorbent liners and heavy-duty ground mats. Designed for quick disposal when saturated, keeping main units clean and reusable across multiple construction projects.
- ✔ Removable absorbent liners trap heavy residue for simple hazardous disposal
- ✔ High oil-to-fabric absorption ratio for maximum liquid retention
- ✔ Non-slip base sits securely on mud, gravel, asphalt, or concrete
- ✔ Cost-effective long-term spill prevention for site plant equipment
