ABSTRACT:
There is provided a system for collecting fluids, such as lubricating oil, in a facility for storing parts, such as lubricated metal coils, wherein fluid is directed away from the stored parts to a location where the fluid may be easily collected without interruption of facility operations, and thus rendering frequent or regular cleanup of the floor of the storage area unnecessary. To this end, the storage facility is equipped with a trough on at least one side of a bay adapted for holding the parts. The bay is further equipped with a plurality of channels for collecting fluid leaking from the parts. The channels are sloped toward at least one trough such that the fluid collected in the channels flows into the troughs. A reservoir is optionally located at one or both ends of each trough for collecting the liquid, and the reservoirs may be periodically emptied to discard the collected fluid. In a further feature of the present invention, one or more pads of a width less than the width of the channel are located in each channel for receiving and protecting the surface of the parts.
