Most open head 55 gallon (208 Liters) steel drums have inside dimensions of 22.5" (572 mm) diameter and 33.5" (851 mm) height. The outside 55 gallon drum dimensions are typically 23" (584 mm) diameter and 34.5" (876 mm) height. Tight-head drums typically have an outside height of 35.25" (895 mm).

Choosing between a new and reconditioned drum depends on your application. New 55 gallon drums are brand-new items, perfect for products whose containers need to maintain their integrity, such as consumables or hazardous materials. This is why our 55 Gallon Steel Salvage & Overpack Drums and Plastic Salvage & Overpack Drums, used for handling hazardous or damaged materials and waste, are primarily new. Reconditioned drums are generally not FDA-approved, but they can be used to store and transport chemicals.

However, reconditioned 55 gallon drums are affordable, used drums that have been cleaned and inspected for reuse! Looking for used metal 55 gallon drums for sale? At a fraction of the price of a new drum, reconditioned 55 gallon drums help reduce the need for new drum production while still serving as dependable containers.

We have a variety of color options available to browse such as black 55 gallon drums, blue 55 gallon drums, brown 55 gallon drums, green 55 gallon drums, natural 55 gallon drums, and white 55 gallon drums.

Having a range of colors helps enhance visual distinction and makes it easier to locate drums in a busy environment. This also supports safety measures as workers can quickly differentiate between different contents.
