DOT Approved for Salvage
All Alpha source® Overpacks are DOT approved and X rated for use as salvage drums. Helps companies conform to federal regulations when shipping damaged or leaking containers of hazardous materials, or absorbents contaminated with hazardous substances.
100% Polyethylene Construction
Overpacks are sturdy and chemical resistant for years of use. Integrated forklift ledges and handles (on containers w/wheels) make them easy to lift, move or carry. 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”
