Product care
Storing Spill Supplies in a Truck
Protect unused supplies, keep them accessible, and inspect them before field use.
Store the mat where it can be removed without dragging its cords across recovery hardware. Protect clean absorbents from moisture and contamination.
Choose a protected compartment
Keep chains, sharp hooks, batteries and leaking containers separate from absorbent stock. A suitable shelf or bin should let the folded product lift out without a crushing load above it.
Arrange by order of use
Keep the first containment and protective items near the opening. Label the usual positions so another driver can spot a missing item and return equipment to the same place.
Inspect stored condition
Check for moisture, contamination, damaged binding or tangled cords. Confirm numerical shelf-life or temperature limits with the manufacturer before adding them to a fleet procedure.
