Avoid the extra expense of a dolly when you but a wheeled Overpack, which provides you with great versatility in a single integrated product.
OverPacks vs Salvage Drums
An OverPack is any container that goes over or around another intact, undamaged container. A Salvage Drum meets stricter standards that certify it for material transport. Both types of containers must meet size and volume requirements and pass stack and drop tests. However, a Salvage Drum must also pass a pressure test and be stamped “Salvage” or “Salvage Drum”
