Open Head Steel Drums

While unlined carbon steel can be susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture over time, many of our open head steel drums include a rust inhibitor to prevent rusting prior to filling. It is important to note that a rust inhibitor is not the same as a protective lining, and is not intended to provide long-term resistance for product compatibility. 

If your application needs protection against corrosion or compatibility with certain products, we offer several lined drums for enhanced durability. Our selection includes both new and reconditioned open head steel drums in a variety of capacities, allowing customers to choose the container that best fits their product requirements.

The UN rating of an open head steel drum depends on the specific drum and intended application. We offer a wide range of UN-rated products, such as drums rated UN1A2/Y100/S for hazardous solid materials, UN1A2/Y1.6/100 for liquids, and more. Because ratings vary by size, construction, and intended contents, we recommend reviewing the specifications of the steel open head drums you are considering to ensure the rating meets your packaging and transportation requirements.

At The Cary Company, we offer an extensive selection of open head steel drums to meet a wide range of storage, handling, and transportation needs. Our inventory includes new and reconditioned steel open head drums, lined and unlined options, and capacities ranging from 5-gallon to 55-gallon drums. Many of our drums are UN rated and feature bolt ring or lever lock ring closures for easy access.
