Engineering Excellence: Compact Efficiency
The Greif 30 Gallon Lok-Rim® Drum is engineered for operations where space is at a premium but protection cannot be compromised. Its dimensions are optimized for standard pallet stacking while providing a more manageable gross weight for manual handling than larger drums. This makes it an ideal choice for batch chemicals, food ingredients, and waste disposal applications.
Certified Safety for Hazardous Solids
Despite its compact size, this drum is a fully certified hazardous materials container. With a UN 1G/Y143/S rating, it is approved for transporting Packing Group II and III hazardous solids. The reinforced steel chimes provide the necessary structural rigidity to withstand drops and stacking pressure during global transit.
Sustainable & Lightweight
Constructed from renewable kraft fibers, the 30-gallon drum offers a significant weight advantage over steel kegs or plastic drums of similar volume. This low tare weight (approx. 11 lbs) reduces shipping costs and lowers the carbon footprint of your supply chain, all while offering a container that is easily recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.
Secure Closure & Product Integrity
The Lok-Rim® steel lever lock ring ensures a tight, vibration-resistant seal that keeps moisture and contaminants out. The design allows for repeated opening and closing without compromising the seal's integrity.
- Tamper Evident: The locking lever features a built-in eyelet for wire seals or zip ties, providing visible evidence of any unauthorized access.
- Smooth Interior: The flush interior walls prevent product from getting trapped in crevices, ensuring complete dispensing and reducing waste.
- Thermal Protection: The fiber sidewalls act as a natural insulator, protecting temperature-sensitive compounds from the rapid heat transfer common with metal containers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this drum for semi-liquids or pastes?
Standard fiber drums are rated for solids only. However, for very viscous pastes or semi-solids, a specialized polyethylene liner is often required. Always verify compatibility with your specific product's safety data sheet (SDS).
How high can I stack these drums?
When fully loaded, these drums are designed to be stacked securely. The steel chimes interlock slightly to prevent shifting. Always ensure the bottom drum does not exceed its maximum dynamic load rating.
