Large Drums
We have received several inquiries asking if we carry large drums, and most frequently the calls are asking for drums made of either plastic, fiber or steel. We stock drums in all three of these categories. In this article, we will discuss drums 14 gallon or larger. Some of the drums have a UN designation and some are non UN drums.
Plastic
We carry plastic drums in the following sizes:
- 15 gallon closed head (tight head)
- 30 gallon closed head and open head
- 55 gallon closed head and open head
They come in black, white, blue and natural. (Not all drums come in every color). Check individual items listed below for UN designation. Our closed head (tight head) drums do not have a removable cover. They have bungs (also called plugs or fittings). Our open head drums have covers that are removable and are held on with a lever locking ring. The 55 gallon blue open head drum shown below is shown with a removable cover with bungs. The drum comes with a solid cover. If you need a cover with bungs, please ask specifically for that. The cost is $1.00 more than the solid cover.
