Track Pan Spill Containment for Railcars & Railroads

Contain incidental spills during railcar transfer operations with Polystar’s modular composite spill containment system, Star Track®. Use this railcar track pan system as individual drip pans or bundled together for comprehensive railroad spill containment. The Star Track system accommodates a variety of railcar applications and several thousand feet.

Railcar Spill Containment Structure

Polystar’s Star Track spill containment systems use high-strength, corrosion-resistant fiberglass and track pans made from galvanized steel and stainless steel. For drive-over applications (H-20 loading), our track pan systems use heavy-duty galvanized steel. Each of our railroad spill containment systems consists of three, low-profile long pans.

• Each pan is 4 inches high x 20 feet long x approximately 10 feet wide.
• Custom track pan sizes are available upon request
• Use a center pan for railcar spill containment between the tracks.
• Two outrigger pans contain spills on both sides of the railcar track.

Connect your track pans or use them independently, depending on railcar application. An optional drainage manifold fits snugly underneath and across to connect all three pans. In each pan, drain ports collect fluids and connect to a drainpipe (provided by others), a collection drain or sump pump.

Easily assemble the Star Track fuel spill containment system using standard hand tools. The Star Track system fits tight against the rail and secures in place using special track pan fasteners and weldments.
