Buckhorn unveils 60-gallon plastic drum
The 24” x 20” x 40” drum has three main components—a base, sidewalls and lid and all parts are designed with offset surfaces and interlocking flanges so no cracks exist in the joints.
There are two security tie holes per lid and the inside and outside surfaces of the sidewalls are smooth for cleaning. The sidewalls are also hinged in the center for a one-way inward fold, allowing the drum to fold flat in seconds.
“Our research has shown customers are demanding a collapsible alternative to the steel, fiber and plastic drums currently in their systems – one that will offer a better return ratio, more warehouse space and increased profitability,” said Rob Tieman, director of sales and marketing, Buckhorn.
The rectangular design allows four assembled drums to interlock and cube a 48” x 40” pallet, stacking five pallet loads high in storage.
The products work with wood pallets or Buckhorn’s Universal Pallet. Due to its capacity, the 60-gallon drum offers 25% better cube utilization than the standard 55-gallon alternatives.
