Plastic Pellet Containment

A Resource by UltraTech International, Inc.

Ultra-Track Berm®

Portable plastic pellet containment

Permanent track pans protect your regular unloading spots. Sometimes, though, you need containment wherever the railcar happens to be. The Ultra-Track Berm is a portable railroad containment unit that one person can move quickly to the point of a spill. It is ideal for capturing plastic pellets and other microplastics during loading, unloading, and clean-out operations.

A dual-sump design protects the area on both sides of the rail. The berm weighs only 24 lbs., and its heavy-duty PVC construction stands up to harsh railroad conditions.
