77-Gallon Shipping Barrels

Ideal for packaged foods, liquids, or industrial supplies

PRODUCT CATALOG

Our 77-gallon barrels meet the dimensional shipping requirements for shipping vessels.

A 77-gallon barrel offers a large storage capacity, making it ideal for shipping various materials like packaged foods, liquids, or industrial supplies. Barrel prices starting as low as $60!

Once the barrel is packed, send supplies in ocean crates or on container ships, sea freight, barge, boat, or ferry. Sea freight is the most common method for transporting barrel quantities of goods to islands. Shipping companies will typically use lower-cost container ships to transport goods to the nearest port or docking point on the island. Smaller islands or those with less developed ports may rely on ferries for transporting goods. Having a durable container to contain and ship goods, such as safepack, is imperative where cargo handling may be less sophisticated.

Easy to Handle

Foot Ring at the Base for Easy Rolling

Our safepack barrel is equipped with a rolling ring at the base of the drum for ease in handling. When the drum is packed full and rolled at an angle, our foot ring protecting the drum from the base collapses and can be moved more efficiently than a drum with rounded bottoms. Our barrels are easily rolled over bumpy roads that may be unpaved or in need of repair, from dock to solid ground, and/or off pick-up trucks and to local delivery mechanisms.

Lighter to Handle

Safepack is produced with 19-20 pounds of plastic resin, making it a few pounds lighter than some products in the market. These few pounds lighter make it easier to utilize, lift, transfer, and re-use.
