The ultimate closed head drums ideal for shipping and storing a wide range of regulated and non-regulated products. Blow molded in one piece using premium-grade high molecular weight, high density polyethylene resin, these drums are powerful and rigid. They are lighter than their steel counterpart, making them easier to handle, easier to stack. They won't rust, dent or peel, and, best of all, they cut shipping costs. Handling drums is easy, thanks to the extra-large compression-molded ring that facilitates lifting with parrot-beak equipment, or they can be easily moved with manual lift carts. Other features include a fully drainable top, sidewall rolling hoops, molded handhold, sump well molded into drum bottom, and label surface areas on drum top. When filling at this recommended temperature, drums should be allowed to cool to ambient temperatures before stacking. Drums filled at elevated temperatures should be vented properly to prevent vacuum formation within the drum, which can compromise stacking capabilities. Can be stacked 3 high (1+2) maximum with pallets between drums—maximum top load on bottom drums not to exceed 2000 lbs each. Handle with parrot beak, side grabber, and sling. Fit 4 wide in a standard trailer. Compatibility with hazardous materials as listed in 49CFR is the responsibility of the filler.
