Our open top drums are manufactured to British Standards and some of these meet the requirements of UN Group 1 Solids or UN Group II Liquids.

The lids fit onto a pressed body curl on the top rim and contain a gasket for sealing.  A variety of different closing rings are available depending on the best fit for the customer and their processes.

The standard size is 210 litres (often referred to as barrels), but we can supply large open top drums of different capacities ranging from 180 to 225 litres.

We operate exacting and thorough quality systems at both our sites and these are approved in accordance with standard BS EN ISO 9001.
