Welcome to the home page for a globally recognized container with similar specifications around the world. With a wide range of internal coatings and liners, most goods can be packaged and transported in these enduring storage cylinders or barrels.
As a staple of industrial packaging, metal barrels transport bulk quantities of more products than is mentionable. Steel drums from Greif are far more than metal barrels; they are an innovative solution for almost any applicable material handling application. A wide variety of large, intermediate, and specialty steel barrels fit various applications.
Steel drums typically store and transport liquids, such as oil, gasoline, and chemicals. They are also used to store dry goods, such as grains and food products. Steel drums are made from heavy-duty steel and are designed to be durable and resistant to corrosion.
They typically have a capacity of 55 gallons (208 liters) and are equipped with a removable top and a bottom opening for draining or dispensing the contents. Steel drums are often used in industries such as chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, and agriculture. They are also used for storing and shipping hazardous materials, and are required to meet strict safety standards.
In addition to traditional open head and tight head steel barrels, Greif also offers specialty material formulations for specific applications including the agitator, salvage, stainless steel or composite drums.
Choose from a range of styles with lever-lock or bolt-ring locking bands. Tapered or nestable options offer improved logistics when stacking for transportation.
Customize your cans by choosing the appropriate internal lacquer or liner (including BPA-Free options); the steel drum wall, top and bottom thickness; capacities from 8 gallons (30 liters) to over 143 gallons (540 liters); and choose the appropriate Tri-Sure®closures and fittings.
Branded packaging stands out! With various decoration options available from simple screen print to full color printing you can truly differentiate your package.
With manufacturing facilities strategically located around the world, Greif is sure to have a location near you. If not, we are logistics experts and will find a way to meet your steel drum needs.
The steel drum container, also known as a steel drum, steel pail, or metal pail, was invented by George F. H. Ludwig and Ralph W. Muscott in 1941.
Many steel drum uses allow for reconditioning or reuse several times before they need to be recycled.
