Open Head Plastic Drums and Barrels

15, 30 and 55 Gallon Drums

These three size offerings cover a versatile range of industrial needs — from compact 15-gallon units for lab or facility storage, to 30-gallon drums for moderate volume material handling, up to full-scale 55-gallon containers for large batch operations. Each drum is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or equivalent resin, offering excellent chemical resistance, impact durability, and long service life. Whether you’re storing solids, resins, or non-free-flowing liquids (with the correct liner or plug), these sizes give you flexibility to scale your containment strategy without switching container families.

New 30 Gallon Plastic Open Head Nest-able Drum

The 30 gallon open-head “nest-able” design brings significant logistic benefits for facilities that need frequent container turnover or want to optimize storage when drums are empty. With an easily removable open-head lid and a design that allows the drums to stack (or nest slightly) inside one another, your shipping, storage, and return-empty footprint is reduced. Built from seamless, blow-molded HDPE, this drum handles corrodibles and solids with confidence, while supporting efficient transport and reuse in high-cycle operations.

New 55 Gallon Plastic Open Head Nest-able Drum

For heavy-duty applications, the 55 gallon open-head nest-able drum offers the maximum capacity in the nest-able polyethylene family. Designed to store and transport large volumes of dry or solid waste, process materials, or general bulk goods, this drum pairs structural toughness with operational economy. Its open-head design simplifies loading and inspection; the nest-able feature saves valuable space when empty. Ideal for manufacturing facilities, environmental services, and high-turnover bulk-material workflows.

55 Gallon Poly Open Head Drum

This standard 55-gallon open-head polyethylene drum is built for maximum versatility. With a removable lid, robust HDPE construction, and full access to the container interior, it’s perfect for applications that require filling, emptying, inspection or cleaning. Whether you’re handling chemicals (with the appropriate liner or additives), bulk granules, waste streams or facility materials, this drum offers the volume and durability your operation demands — without the weight or corrosion risk of steel.
