What is a Drum?

A Drum is a cylindrical-shaped container used for shipping and storing various types of goods and materials. Drums are typically made of metal, plastic, or fiberboard and come in various sizes and capacities. They are commonly used for transporting liquids, chemicals, hazardous materials, and bulk commodities. Drums are designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and provide protection for the contents during handling and transit. They often have sealing mechanisms such as screw caps or lever-lock rings to secure the contents and prevent leaks or spillage during shipping.
