These closed head drums are ideal for shipping and storing a wide range of regulated and non-regulated products. They are lighter than their steel counterparts, making them easier to handle, more efficient to stack. They won't rust, dent or peel, and, best of all, they cut shipping cost. Handling drums is easy, thanks to the extra-large compression-molded ring that facilitates lifting with parrot-beak equipment, or manual lift carts can move them. Other features include 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. Vent any drums filled at elevated temperatures to prevent vacuum formation within the drum, which can compromise stacking capabilities. It can be layered three high (1+2) maximum with pallets between drums. Handle with parrot beak, side grabber, and sling.
