Steel drums are available reconditioned and new.
Large 55 gallon steel drums are often used in the petrochemical industry and other industries where storage and transport of potentially hazardous or bulk chemicals is routinely done. The aftermarket to these industries offers such drums, if regulations permit their reuse. They can also easily be purchased new.
Steel Drum Suppliers
The most immediate source for 55 gallon drums is direct suppliers of drums and barrels who offer a variety of sizes made out of various materials. They can be found online or locally. Prices vary based on the use of the drum and therefore the interior lining, and the quantities purchased. Many suppliers also sell new or reconditioned steel drums, depending on the preferences of the customer.
Aftermarket Steel Drums
Reconditioned 55 gallon are generally reconditioned to United Nations standards. Since the 55 gallon size conforms to an international shipping standard used by the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, they are widely available. It is also common for drums to be reconditioned for other uses, making them widespread throughout the import/export market.
