We have many steel drum sizes for various uses. When looking for steel barrels for sale, make sure you know if you need carbon or stainless steel. Do you need a UN Rating for shipping of hazardous chemicals, or a non-rated drum. Some products might need an epoxy lining in the drum, while others will work with the basic rust inhibitor lined drum. What about access to the inside of the drum? Do you want an open head or closed head? No matter the steel drum containers that you decide on, we can help you with our wide selection to choose from at Best Containers.
