Steel Drums
OVERVIEW
Our HEAVY DUTY steel drums meet the most rigorous packing requirements for the storage and transportation of dangerous products, especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Innovations, including our drums’ triple seam and W-shaped rolling hoops, provide superior strength and durability. In addition, the “necked-in” feature of our ISO open head drums minimizes transit damage when shipping products abroad in shipping containers.
For the storage and transportation of liquids, these drums are excellent. The two flanges (closures) and plugs at the top of the drums are characteristics of our close top steel drums. Additionally, both new and reconditioned drums that have been approved by SABS are available.

Benefits of Steel Drums

Considerations Regarding Steel Drums
While steel barrels have many benefits, there are also some considerations. One of the main concerns is their environmental impact. Steel barrels can be difficult to recycle, leading to excess waste. Additionally, if the barrels are not handled properly, they can leak or become contaminated, leading to potential health hazards. Furthermore, steel barrels have limitations when it comes to storage and transportation. Due to their size and weight, they may not be suitable for certain applications, and their contents must be carefully monitored to prevent spills or leaks.
