55 Gallon (400 lb. Capacity) Fiber Drum, UN Rated, Steel Cover w/Lever Lock Ring

55 gallon fiber drum with a 400 lb load rating, a steel cover, and a lever-lock ring closure, UN rated for solids. Fiber drums are lighter than steel, stack well, and open fully at the top for fast filling and dispensing, which is why manufacturers, distributors, and recyclers use them for dry bulk materials. The kraft fiber wall resists bacterial and fungal growth, temperature extremes, and both axial and radial stress.

The steel cover and lever-lock ring give you a sturdier closure than a plastic lid, and the drum is economical enough to use as one-way shipping packaging. Note that this drum is not FDA compliant, so it is not intended for direct food contact.

Specifications

A tool may be required to open this drum.

Uses

Powders, pellets, resins, pigments, granular chemicals, hardware and machined parts, archived records, and recyclable materials. The UN1G/Y190/S rating covers solids in Packing Groups II and III up to 190 kg gross, so it can ship many regulated dry goods. Its light weight makes it easier to lift and roll than a steel drum of the same size.
