Commercial Drains

Our commercial drainage systems are engineered for peak performance in the toughest environments, providing high-capacity water management for warehouses, loading docks, and manufacturing facilities. These heavy-duty trench drains feature superior load class ratings, easily supporting frequent commercial traffic from forklifts, pallet jacks, and tractor-trailers.

With a modular design that connects end-to-end and includes built-in 90-degree turns, our surface drainage solutions offer maximum flexibility for complex layouts without the need for extra adapters. From distribution centers to chemical facilities, we combine durability with precision—offering in-house technical drawings and custom engineering to ensure your drainage project performs flawlessly under the most demanding industrial conditions.

What is the length of each trench drain for warehouses?

All Vodaland warehouse trench drains are 1-meter (3.28ft) lengths. Trench drains can be connected together for longer runs, and units can be cut to match specific sizing requirements.

Is the title width an internal or external dimension?

The titled width of our trench drain for warehouses represents the internal width of the actual drain channel, and the same applies to the depth sizes shown for each channel. External dimensions vary for each type of channel, and customers can view drain size through the spec drawings provided on each product page.

How do I connect the trench drains together?

We design all of our trench drain for warehouses to be connectable with each other via male-to-female connections. Depending on the model, your trench drain solution for the warehouse may either “click” together, or simply fit together for connection. It is very important that all connections are silicone sealed.

How do I connect piping?

For piping, Vodaland designs our channels with outlet options on the bottom, sides, and ends. These outlets can be attached to 4” Schedule 40 PVC with an adapter we sell separately. If other piping is to be used, we recommend connecting them to the outlets via rubber couplings which are sold externally.

Do these need to be encased in concrete?

Vodaland recommends that all our warehouse drainage systems be encased in concrete for reliable drainage that meets building codes. Certain scenarios may not allow for the use of concrete, and in those cases customers may change the recommended installation method at their own discretion.

Our load classes are derived from C to F on our Industrial Trench Drains.
