Plant Nappies For Spill Containment
A Plant Nappy is a tray that is deployed for leaks and spills made by generators, machinery and other equipment, and effectively separates water and oils, leading to better environmental protection. Lapwing supplies genuine Plant Nappies for construction sites with our various-sized plant nappies using the latest, innovative vinyl and polyester materials that boast durability. Able to absorb several litres of oil and other spills produced, it will effortlessly allow water from your equipment and the elements to pass through.
Types of Plant Nappy® to Choose From
-
Small Plant Nappy
The small Plant Nappy® is 50 x 68.5 cm and ideal for small machinery that produces contaminant liquids. Position equipment easily on the tray and let the Plant Nappy® work its magic, absorbing oils and hydrocarbon contaminants while other fluids pass through.
-
Medium Plant Nappy®
Choose our medium Plant Nappy measuring 68.5 x 100cm for a light, user-friendly solution for collecting fuel or oil spills from generators and other machinery. Deploy it on any terrain without worry of tears or rips.
-
Large Plant Nappy®
Perfect for large plant equipment and easy to secure, our large Plant Nappy is 137 x 200cm and suitable for capturing high volumes of spillages and oils. Ready to use, with no assembly required, our largest Plant Nappy is simple to deploy and reusable.

Plant Nappy® and PlantMat
Lapwing is a specialist stockist of the Plant Nappy® and PlantMat® family of spill containment products for the construction industry. Manufactured in the UK by Manvers Engineering, the innovative, patented Plant Nappy® and PlantMat® products solve one of the construction industry’s persistent pollution risk problems: how to contain pesky oil and fuel spills.

What is the Plant Nappy® Made From?
Manufactured from abrasion-resistant, UV-stable and fire-retardant materials, the Plant Nappy® is a flexible, portable drip tray with PVC coated foam filled side walls that are crush-resistant – returning to shape after being compressed – unlike plastic trays which break or metal trays that stay deformed. The Plant Nappy® works by allowing water to drain away whilst retaining hydrocarbons within the Nappy – this prevents the risk of oil ‘float off’, inherent in traditional drip trays in wet conditions.

How Does the PlantMat® Work?
This innovative product uses the Soliditex® technology which is a patent pending, unique mix of polymers that capture and solidify hydrocarbons whilst remaining unaffected by water, which simply drains away. The solidified spill material makes subsequent handling and disposal much easier.
Manufactured from durable materials, the PlantMat® is ideal for deployment in the harshest conditions. Use in conjunction with the Plant Nappy® for a comprehensive answer to your small plant siting and refuelling pollution risks – providing low cost, flexible and effective spill containment.

FAQs
What is a Plant Nappy?
A Plant Nappy is a sustainable spill containment mat designed to absorb and trap oil, fuel and leaks from machinery, preventing ground and water pollution.
why is a Plant Nappy® more efficient than a drip tray?
The Plant Nappy®is designed to be used outdoors and allows rainwater to drain whist absorbing oils. A drip tray will fill with water and allow oil to float off and contaminate the ground.
How is a Plant Nappy different from a Plant Nappy Liner?
A Plant Nappy and its liner are different in their use. The Plant Nappy provides primary spill containment, while the liner acts as an additional, replaceable absorbent layer inside the Plant Nappy for increased protection.
Can I get my order on the same day?
If you place your order before 5pm, Lapwing can deliver it the next working day. Orders destined for outside of the UK must contact us to arrange your order and costs.
Do you sell any other spill containment product?
We also sell the PlantMat in various sizes which use polymers to solidify fuel and oil into a solid mass, while utilising vertical and horizontal wicking properties to allow water to drain quickly.
