Packaging Limitations and
Closure Instructions

Designed to Meet 49CFR173.3(C): Salvage Drum Regulations

It is the shipper’s responsibility to package and ship this packaging in accordance with prevailing applicable transportation
regulations.
LIMITATIONS:
1. The Ultra-Overpack Plus is approved as a single trip salvage drum.
2. Lid closure for transportation can only be performed once.
3. Gross package weight of the Overpack Plus and lid is not to exceed 760 lbs. (345 Kilograms).
NOTE: The tare weight of Ultra-Overpack Plus and lid is approximately 48 lbs.
4. Do not fill container above the bottom of the thread.
5. The Ultra-Overpack Plus is not approved for air transport.
6. No free liquids are to be transported. This Ultra-Overpack Plus has been qualified to ship solids only. Use a loose fill absorbent
to fill any void areas and absorb any free liquid.
7. Always check the Chemical Compatibility of the material in the Ultra-Overpack Plus. (Contact UltraTech for a Chemical
Compatibility Guide.)
CLOSURE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place contents into the Ultra-Overpack Plus. Make sure top sealing edge of the Ultra-Overpack Plus is free from debris, cuts
or gouges.
2. Place lid onto the Ultra-Overpack Plus and twist the lid in a clockwise direction (approximately 2 complete revolutions) until
the lid is “hand tightened.”
3. Continue tightening the lid (additional torque may be required) until the arrow on the side of the lid matches up with the alignment
bar on the side of the Ultra-Overpack Plus (see picture). NOTE: Additional torque may require the use of a long 2” x
4” board, rebar or a shovel handle. The board, rebar or handle can be placed between the slots on the lid to allow sufficient
torque to tighten the arrow to the alignment bar. Silicone lubricant can be sprayed on the gasket to allow tightening the lid
without the use of a substrate.
Note: Occasionally temperature and operating conditions can affect tolerances of the Ultra-Overpack Plus 95. If you
are unable to tighten the lid so that the Arrow on the lid is aligned within the “Alignment Bar” on the drum, please
tighten the lid as far as possible and allow the Ultra- Overpack Plus 95 to sit for 1-2 hours. Then tighten the lid further.
The delay allows the gasket to reset and allow further tightening. This can be repeated until the Arrow is within the
Alignment Bar.
CAUTION: DO NOT SHIP THE ULTRA-OVERPACK PLUS UNTIL THE ARROW MATCHES UP WITH SOME PORTION
OF THE ALIGNMENT BAR.
