German term

Sicherheitsauffangwanne

German to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Context:

"Sicherheitsauffangwanne für Lack- und Lösemittelgebinde"

This is in connection with a mixing and preparation workstation for spray paint etc. I am rather puzzled by this, as I would have thought it would be a sump tray/drip tray, espcially since elsewhere my text refers to an "Auffangwanne im Bodenbereich mit Lochblechabdeckung", but this sounds more like a collecting bin for the paint cans than a drip tray/sump.

{mobile} spill tray

OK, this is mobile because it has wheels on it (see the link). But it appears to be just what the doctor ordered. It is designed to hold 55-gallon drums of stuff and to move them around the plant. It has its own sump so you are not sloshing stuff around.

Click on the item in the link and it will give you more info.

Wow, it is just trying to sell its products. Can you get to www.newpig.com at all? If you can get there, you should be able to search on "mobile spill tray" If not, well, I do not know what to tell you. Is your server blocking it?
Note from asker:
Thanks, but unfortunately it tells me: "403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchControllerCmd on this server."
....looks like it's a dynamic page, judging from the URL.
Something went wrong...
