Handling

Better handling

With four molded exterior handles and optimized pallet utilization with a unique geometric shape. The faceted ends can provide better grip points for handling equipment, such as clamps or hoists, making it easier and safer to lift and move the drums. 

Quality

Ideal for tough applications, including chemical and food

UV protection of contents to allow the storage of the container in spaces exposed to sunlight. In some cases, the faceted design can help in managing internal pressure by allowing slight expansions, which is particularly useful for contents that might emit gases or expand slightly due to temperature changes.

Robust container

Increased Strength and Durability

The faceted or ribbed design helps to reinforce the drum, making it more resistant to deformation under pressure. This is especially important when drums are stacked during storage or transport, as the added strength helps maintain the drum’s integrity under the weight of other containers.
