Expert Insights
The UN/DOT rating 1H2/X340/S is among the highest ratings available for plastic drums. At 340 kg (748 lbs) maximum gross mass, this salvage drum can contain even the heaviest 55-gallon drums of dense industrial chemicals. The X performance level covers all three Packing Groups, ensuring regulatory compliance regardless of the inner drum contents.
The metal band with bolt closure is the gold standard for salvage operations involving large drums. At 95 gallons, the forces exerted on the closure during handling and transport are significant. The bolted band distributes these forces evenly and cannot be dislodged by vibration, impact, or pressure changes during transport. Always torque the bolt to the manufacturer specified value. When comparing to the 95-gallon overpack drum (A1690E), note that the salvage drum (A1695E) has the bolted closure versus screw-on lid, is taller at 44.5 inches versus 41.25 inches, and carries a different UN rating (X340 versus X300). Both accept 55-gallon inner drums.

Frequently Asked Questions
95-Gallon Salvage Drum, Metal Band w/ Bolt
What is the difference between this 95-gallon salvage drum and the 95-gallon overpack drum?
The 95-gallon salvage drum (A1695E) uses a metal band with bolt closure and stands 44.5 inches tall with a 1H2/X340/S rating. The 95-gallon overpack drum (A1690E) uses a screw-on lid and stands 41.25 inches tall with a 1H2/X300/S rating. The salvage drum has a higher weight capacity (748 lbs vs 660 lbs) and a more secure closure. Both accept 55-gallon inner drums.
Can I use this salvage drum for routine waste collection?
This drum should be reserved for salvage and emergency overpacking operations. At 58 lbs empty and with a bolt closure requiring tools to open, it is not practical for daily waste accumulation. Use standard lab pack drums for routine waste collection and keep salvage drums available for emergency containment of damaged containers.
How do I get a 55-gallon drum into this salvage drum?
Use a drum lifter, forklift with drum attachment, or overhead crane to lower the damaged 55-gallon drum into the salvage drum. Place 3 to 4 inches of absorbent material in the bottom first. For emergency situations without mechanical equipment, tip the salvage drum on its side, roll or slide the inner drum in, then carefully right the assembly using appropriate equipment. Never attempt to lift a 55-gallon drum by hand.
What tools do I need to secure the bolt closure?
A standard combination wrench or socket set that fits the bolt size is required. Keep a dedicated wrench attached to or near the salvage drum station for immediate access during emergencies. Tighten the bolt until the band is snug around the drum rim with no gaps visible between the lid and drum body.
Why is this drum heavier than the 95-gallon overpack model?
The salvage drum weighs 58 lbs versus 50 lbs for the overpack because it has thicker HDPE walls for greater structural integrity, a taller profile (44.5 vs 41.25 inches), and the metal band with bolt closure adds weight versus the screw-on lid. The heavier construction is necessary to meet the X340/S salvage certification requirements.
