Description
Full access, lasting protection. This open head lacquered steel drum holds 205 liters nominal (about 54 US gallons; 216.5 L brimful) and is UN approved for dangerous goods. The removable lid locks on with a ring, and it has 2″ and 3/4″ outlets built in, giving you three ways to fill and empty: through the full open top or either threaded outlet.
Why Buyers Love the Open Head Lacquered Steel Drum
Threaded bungs come standard on both outlets of this open head lacquered steel drum to prevent accidental leaks. The lacquer on the CR4 mild steel extends storage life well beyond plain steel: plain drums typically keep 1 to 3 months, while these lacquered drums keep 9 to 12 months, depending on storage conditions. That is a lot more breathing room for slow-moving inventory.
Strength You Can Count On
The open head lacquered steel drum has a weight capacity of 215 kg, roughly 474 lb, and weighs about 18 kg (39.7 lb) empty. Pop the lid of your open head lacquered steel drum to scoop or pack, or keep it locked and dispense through an outlet. Your team picks the method; the drum just gets on with it.
