Engineering Excellence: The 44 Gallon Standard
The Greif 44 Gallon Lok-Rim® Drum is engineered to bridge the gap between smaller containers and full-sized 55-gallon drums. Its optimized footprint allows for high-density storage while providing the structural integrity needed for stacking heavier loads. It is a preferred choice for chemical manufacturers and food processors looking to reduce freight weight without sacrificing protection.
Certified Safety for Hazardous Transport
Transporting hazardous solids requires absolute confidence in your packaging. This drum features a UN 1G/Y120/S rating, validating its capability to safely contain hazardous materials in Packing Groups II and III. The steel chimes are crimped securely to the fiber sidewall, creating a rugged exoskeleton that resists impact and deformation during rough handling.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective
In an era of increasing sustainability mandates, Greif fiber drums stand out. Constructed from renewable kraft resources, these drums are 100% recyclable and offer a lower tare weight than comparable steel drums. This weight reduction directly translates to lower fuel consumption and shipping costs per unit, improving your bottom line and environmental footprint.
Secure Locking & Pure Storage
The Lok-Rim® steel lever lock ring is the industry standard for a reason—it provides a positive, vibration-resistant seal that can be opened and re-closed instantly without tools.
- Tamper Evident: The lever handle includes a locking eyelet, allowing you to apply wire seals or zip ties to guarantee chain of custody.
- Contaminant Free: The smooth fiber interior is free of loose particles, ensuring that high-purity powders and resins are not contaminated by rust or flaking paint.
- Thermal Stability: Fiber walls provide superior insulation compared to metal, reducing the risk of product caking or degradation due to rapid temperature swings in transit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What liner should I use with this drum?
While the fiber interior is clean, many customers engaged in food or pharmaceutical production prefer using a Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) round-bottom liner for an extra layer of moisture protection and to make clean-up easier.
How many of these drums fit on a pallet?
Typically, you can fit 4 of these 44-gallon drums on a standard 48x40 pallet. Their high stacking strength allows for double-stacking in warehouses, depending on the density of the product inside.
