Businesses in the steel drums and pails category manufacture or supply rigid metal containers for storing and transporting liquids, powders and other materials. Steel drums are commonly cylindrical and available in different capacities, with open-head designs that have removable lids and closed-head designs with fixed tops and filling openings. Steel pails are smaller containers, often fitted with handles and removable lids, for products such as paints, coatings, chemicals and industrial compounds. Products may be made from different grades and thicknesses of steel, with internal linings or external coatings selected to suit the contents and intended conditions of use. Suppliers may also provide closures, seals, bungs and lids, as well as options for labelling, printing or other identification. Some businesses offer container testing, refurbishment or reconditioning, subject to the drum's condition and intended use.
