To those that think "a drum is a drum" — we would like you to know that you could not be farther from reality by making such a statement. Responsible for shipping more dangerous goods throughout the world ( yes, even more then the combined supertanker capacity), steel drum variations go way beyond the tried and true 55 US gallon work horse. There are carbon, stainless, aluminum and galvanized drums in which heights can be altered, UN testing can be performed for varying content characteristics, optional protective interior and exterior coatings can be applied. In addition, pressure release plugs can be installed, there are easy-to-open lever locking closure rings and all types of transit packaging options are available (boxing, bagging, palletizing, stretch wrapped) at modest expense. Skolnik has an Engineering staff that welcomes your queries about drum alterations and special needs. From 5 to 110 US gallon capacity, 14" to 30" inside diameter, a solution can be found for almost every special need.
