The 50 Gallon Oil-Only Wheeled Spill Kit provides a mobile spill-response system for oils, fuels and other hydrocarbon-based liquids. Oil-only absorbents are designed to absorb petroleum-based fluids while repelling water, making this kit particularly useful around outdoor operations, loading areas, equipment, fuel storage and other locations where water may also be present.

Packed inside a durable 50-gallon wheeled salvage drum, the kit combines oil-only pads, long absorbent socks and pillows with PPE, disposal supplies and an emergency response guidebook in one mobile overpack.

AT A GLANCE

50 Gallon Oil-Only Wheeled Spill Kit

A mobile oil and hydrocarbon spill-response kit with approximately 31 gallons of total absorbency, packed in a 50-gallon UN-rated wheeled salvage drum. Includes oil-only pads, socks, pillows, disposal bags, goggles, nitrile gloves and an Emergency Response Guidebook.

31 Gallon Absorbency

Medium-capacity response for oil, fuel and hydrocarbon spills in industrial, fleet, maintenance and storage environments.

Oil-Only Absorbents

Hydrophobic absorbents target oils and petroleum-based liquids while repelling water.

Mobile Wheeled Overpack

Keeps absorbents, PPE and cleanup supplies together while allowing the complete kit to be moved closer to the spill area.

What Is Included?

Each OSSK-50W combines multiple oil-only absorbent formats so responders can surround, contain and recover petroleum-based liquids using the appropriate material for each stage of the cleanup.

Absorbency is a manufacturer-rated kit value. Actual liquid pickup can vary according to fluid composition, viscosity, temperature and response conditions.

What Are Oil-Only Absorbents?

Oil-only absorbents are designed for petroleum-based liquids while resisting water uptake. This makes them especially useful where oil must be recovered from wet surfaces or where water is present alongside the spill.

Common target liquids may include:

  • Motor oil
  • Hydraulic oil
  • Lubricating oil
  • Diesel fuel
  • Gasoline and compatible fuels
  • Transmission fluids
  • Petroleum-based machine fluids
  • Other compatible hydrocarbons

Why Water Repellency Matters

In outdoor, dockside or wet industrial environments, a universal absorbent may take up both the target oil and surrounding water. Oil-only absorbents are designed to preferentially recover oil and hydrocarbons while repelling water, preserving more useful absorbent capacity for the target liquid.

Where This Spill Kit Fits

The 50-gallon wheeled Oil-Only kit is suited to facilities and operations where petroleum-based liquids represent the primary spill risk and responders benefit from a mobile supply of absorbents.

  • Fleet maintenance and vehicle service facilities
  • Fueling and fuel-storage areas
  • Loading docks and transportation terminals
  • Manufacturing and machine shops
  • Hydraulic equipment and machinery areas
  • Warehouses storing oils or lubricants
  • Outdoor industrial operations
  • Generator and equipment rooms
  • Marine, dockside and other wet environments where appropriate

Oil-Only vs. Universal vs. Hazmat

Kit Type Best Starting Point For Typical Liquid Types
Oil-Only Oil and hydrocarbon spill response Oils, diesel, fuels and petroleum-based fluids, particularly where water repellency is useful
Universal General industrial spill response Water, oil, coolants, solvents and other compatible non-aggressive industrial liquids
Hazmat Chemical spill response Aggressive, corrosive or unknown liquids requiring an appropriate chemical-compatible absorbent

Oil-Only Does Not Mean Universal Chemical Compatibility

Oil-only absorbents are designed around oil and hydrocarbon response. For corrosive, reactive, aggressive or unidentified chemical spills, evaluate the chemical involved and select an appropriate Hazmat absorbent system.

Why Choose a Wheeled Oil Spill Kit?

Oil spills frequently occur around equipment, vehicles, loading areas and machinery where the incident may be some distance from the facility's main spill-response storage.

A wheeled overpack keeps the entire response kit consolidated and allows it to be repositioned closer to the spill rather than transporting individual boxes of absorbents separately.

  • Supports faster deployment across large facilities
  • Keeps oil-only absorbents and PPE together
  • Provides protected storage between incidents
  • Can be strategically staged near petroleum spill risks
  • Reduces the need to carry multiple absorbent packages separately

50 Gallon vs. 95 Gallon Oil-Only Wheeled Spill Kit

Feature 50 Gallon Wheeled Kit 95 Gallon Wheeled Kit
Approx. absorbency 31 gallons 62 gallons
Package weight 78 lb 113 lb
Oil-only pads 50 110
Primary fit Medium oil and hydrocarbon spill-response capacity Larger oil and hydrocarbon spill-response capacity
Mobility Wheeled Wheeled

For facilities with larger credible oil-spill volumes, consider the 95 Gallon Oil-Only Wheeled Spill Kit .

Spill Kit Placement & Readiness

Position spill kits near credible spill risks while keeping access routes clear. Facilities should consider the types and quantities of petroleum liquids handled, probable spill volume, travel distance, employee training and site-specific emergency procedures.

Inspect kits periodically and replace absorbents, PPE or disposal supplies that have been used, damaged or removed.

Container Size Is Not the Same as Absorbency

“50 gallon” describes the wheeled overpack container. The manufacturer rates the complete OSSK-50W at approximately 31 gallons of absorbency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the 50 Gallon Oil-Only Wheeled Spill Kit absorb?
The OSSK-50W is manufacturer-rated for approximately 31 gallons of absorbency. Actual pickup depends on the liquid and response conditions.
What liquids are oil-only absorbents designed for?
Oil-only absorbents are intended primarily for petroleum-based liquids such as oils, fuels, diesel, hydraulic fluids and compatible hydrocarbons. Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific liquid.
Do oil-only absorbents absorb water?
Oil-only absorbents are designed to repel water while absorbing oils and compatible hydrocarbons. This characteristic makes them useful in wet or outdoor environments where water may be present.
What is included in the OSSK-50W?
The kit includes 50 oil-only 15" × 18" pads, four 3" × 12' socks, eight 18" × 18" pillows, five disposal bags, goggles, nitrile gloves and an Emergency Response Guidebook inside a wheeled 50-gallon salvage drum.
Is the container UN rated?
Yes. Current manufacturer information identifies the 50-gallon wheeled salvage drum as UN/1H2/X125/S. Users remain responsible for determining whether the container and any subsequent use satisfy applicable packaging, handling and transportation requirements.
When should I choose Oil-Only instead of Universal?
Choose Oil-Only when oils and hydrocarbons are the primary spill risk, especially where water may be present. Universal absorbents are generally more appropriate when both water-based and oil-based compatible liquids need to be managed.
When should I choose a Hazmat spill kit?
A Hazmat kit should be evaluated where aggressive chemicals, corrosive liquids or unknown substances may be present. Chemical compatibility should always be verified before response.
Should I choose the 50-gallon or 95-gallon Oil-Only kit?
The 50-gallon kit provides approximately 31 gallons of absorbency, while the 95-gallon kit provides approximately 62 gallons. Selection should be based on credible spill volume, facility layout and response planning.
