55 Gallon Barrel
Our 55 gallon barrel selection is divided into three different materials. We carry plastic, fibre and carbon steel. Within those three categories, we have open head, where the cover can be taken completely off the body of the drum, and tight head, or closed head, where the drum is a one piece unit with bungs (plugs) in the top. The picture on the right is an example of our 55 gallon plastic open head drum with a cover that is secured to the drum body with a lever locking ring. Our open head steel drums have covers that are held on with bolt rings and our fiber drum has a lever locking ring. Tight head barrels, with only their two bungs for access, are meant for liquids. All the drums listed on this page have a UN designation. The open head drums are rated for solids and the tight head drums are rated for liquids. One of our drums, however, has the unique distinction of being rated for both solids and liquids. That drum is our item number MSD5-23-01. A brief explanation of UN ratings may be found on this page. Another consideration when purchasing carbon steel drums, is whether you need a lined or unlined drum. In the description of each drum we have tried to include this information for you so that you can find the information you need at a glance.
