What load capacity do the Vestil HSRB retention basins have?
The published capacity range is 1,200 lb. Vestil lists four models: HSRB-YL-1 and HSRB-YL-2 are described as 1.2K units, HSRB-2-BL is described as 1200LB, and HSRB-4-BL is described as 2400LB. Check the rating on the specific model you order against the filled weight of the drums you plan to store.
How many drums does each model hold?
The drum count is stated only for the yellow models: HSRB-YL-1 is a one-drum basin and HSRB-YL-2 is a two-drum basin. The blue models, HSRB-2-BL and HSRB-4-BL, are identified in the published data by weight capacity rather than drum count, so confirm the number of drums before ordering if that drives your choice.
What do these basins cost?
Prices run from $427.80 to $1,633.55 depending on model. HSRB-YL-1 is $427.80, HSRB-YL-2 is $765.36, HSRB-2-BL is $1,402.49, and HSRB-4-BL is $1,633.55. Price tracks capacity, so the single-drum yellow unit is the lowest-cost entry point in the line. Those four models are the full published range.
Where are they made and is there a warranty?
They are made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carry a 1-year limited warranty. Both points come from Vestil's own product data for the HSRB line. Because the coverage is limited, review Vestil's warranty terms before specifying these for heavy-cycle handling or for storage of aggressive chemicals.
Which operations are these a good fit for, and which are not?
They suit sites that store drums lying on their side, typically for dispensing, and need secondary containment underneath. Steel construction fits industrial floors where a poly basin could be damaged by forklift traffic. They are not the right choice for upright drum storage, since the basin is shaped for horizontal drums. Published data does not list dimensions or sump volume, so confirm both against your floor space.
What colors are available?
Two of the four models are supplied in blue: HSRB-2-BL and HSRB-4-BL are both listed as blue in Vestil's descriptions. The remaining two, HSRB-YL-1 and HSRB-YL-2, carry a YL designation in the model number. The published data does not describe the paint or coating beyond color, so ask if you need finish details for a specific chemical exposure.
