50L Red Open-Top Corrugated Iron Drum with Dual Handles - China Suppliers & Factory for Liquid and Solid Storage
Product Description
This 50-litre red open-top drum is widely applicable for the storage and transportation of liquid materials such as chemical raw materials, lubricants, and coatings. Its corrugated structure enhances resistance to deformation, while the cold-rolled steel construction enables it to withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C, effectively safeguarding material stability. The dual-handle design is ergonomically engineered, with each drum bearing up to 80kg, facilitating manual handling or mechanical lifting. It is particularly suited to the handling requirements of small to medium-sized factories and warehouses.
Features
01 — High-Strength Material
Constructed from 0.5–0.8mm cold-rolled steel plate, acid-washed and phosphated for a smooth, burr-free surface. Offers superior rust resistance compared to standard iron drums, extending service life by over 30%.
02 — Structural Optimisation
The barrel body features an integrated corrugated design enhancing overall rigidity and preventing deformation during tipping. Large/small flange interfaces are available to accommodate different sealing lid types, ensuring leak-proof material containment.
03 — Customisation Services
Supports spray painting in multiple colours including red, blue, and yellow (RAL codes available). Can screen-print corporate logos, warning labels, or product information onto the barrel body per client requirements, enhancing brand recognition.
04 — Safety & Convenience
Dual handles feature reinforced steel welded construction with secure, seamless joints. Handle height aligns with forklift fork spacing, optimising efficiency for both manual and mechanical handling.

Compared to conventional plastic drums, this product offers advantages including high-temperature resistance, puncture resistance, and recyclability, making it particularly suitable for storing organic solvents and low-corrosivity chemicals. Compared to welded closed-top drums, the open design facilitates rapid filling and emptying. When paired with a flanged sealing lid, it enables reuse, reducing packaging costs. The dual-handle and corrugated structure design ensures industrial-grade load-bearing capacity while maintaining lightweight characteristics (net weight 4.5–6.2kg), effectively reducing transport energy consumption.
Notice
- Prior to use, inspect the drum body for defects such as dents or cracked welds, and confirm that the handle welds are secure.
- When storing liquids, fill no more than 90% capacity to prevent expansion and leakage in high-temperature environments.
- For screen-printed logos, provide vector files (AI/CDR format) and confirm colour codes in advance.
- Clean using high-pressure water jets only; avoid strong acids or alkalis to prevent coating damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
QHow should I choose between 0.5mm and 0.8mm thickness?
AFor storing solid materials or indoor static use, the 0.5mm variant offers better value for money. For frequent handling, outdoor storage, or materials with a loading density exceeding 1.2g/cm³, the 0.8mm heavy-duty variant is recommended.
QDo you offer export packaging?
AWe provide fumigated pallets and export wooden crates compliant with ISTA 3A transport standards. Specific costs are calculated based on the destination port.
QCan I customise the colour and logo of the drum?
AYes. We support spray painting in multiple RAL colours (including red, blue, and yellow) and can screen-print logos or product information onto the barrel body. Please provide vector files in AI or CDR format and confirm colour codes before production.
QIs the drum suitable for storing chemical solvents?
AYes. The cold-rolled steel construction with electrostatic powder coating makes it suitable for storing organic solvents and low-corrosivity chemicals. It is not recommended for highly corrosive acids or alkalis without additional lining.
QWhat is the minimum order quantity for non-standard colours?
AFor colours other than the default red (RAL 3020), the minimum order quantity is 50 units per colour. Please contact us in advance to confirm availability and lead time.
QHow should the drum be cleaned and maintained?
AClean the drum using high-pressure water jets only. Avoid using strong acids or alkalis during cleaning, as these may damage the powder coating. Always inspect the drum body and handle welds before each use to ensure structural integrity.
