A transportable spill containment pan includes a reservoir that can be disposed between, and rested upon, conventional railroad rails beneath a stationary railroad tank car. The pan includes a pair of flaps that can be moved from a closed position where they overlie the reservoir and provide a cover therefor, to an extended position where they divert inadvertent spills into the reservoir. A pair of parallel, spaced tubes extend across the reservoir and through opposed sidewalls defining the reservoir. The tubes are of a size and shape to receive the forks of a conventional forklift truck, thereby permitting the pan to be moved conveniently from place to place. The pan includes endwalls connected to the flaps, the endwalls having horizontal ledges that enable another pan to be stacked atop the first.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A transportable spill containment pan adapted to be disposed beneath a railroad tank car between railroad rails on which the tank car is resting and to be moved by a forklift truck having forks, comprising:a bottom wall from which upstanding peripheral sidewalls and endwalls extend, the bottom wall, the sidewalls, and the endwalls defining a reservoir having a top opening;first and second flaps connected to the sidewalls, the first and second flaps being movable from a first, inwardly folded position where they overlie the reservoir and provide a cover for the top opening, and a second, outwardly extended position where they overlie the rails to catch inadvertent spills and direct the spills into the reservoir;support arms extending outwardly of the pan to support the flaps in the outwardly extended position, the support arms being connected to the tubes at that location where the tubes extend through the sidewalls; andparallel, spaced tubes extending across the reservoir and opening through the opposed sidewalls, the tubes being of a size and shape to receive the forks of the forklift truck.
