Plastic Barrel UN 85L with Reinforced Rim — 85 litres capacity

Plastic Barrel UN 85L with Reinforced Rim — 85 litres capacity is a durable polyethylene container intended for storage and transport of non-specified bulk liquids and dry goods. The barrel combines a corrosion-resistant plastic body with an integrated reinforced rim to improve handling, stacking stability and resistance to impact. Its 85-litre capacity makes it suitable where a mid-size, lightweight and weather-resistant container is required for industrial, agricultural or domestic tasks.

Advantages

The reinforced rim increases structural rigidity at the opening, reducing deformation during lifting and enabling safer stacking. Made from corrosion-resistant polyethylene, the barrel is lightweight compared with metal alternatives and requires minimal maintenance. The smooth interior surface facilitates cleaning and reduces residue adhesion, while the cylindrical shape and uniform wall thickness provide consistent strength under load.

Suitable for

• Storage and short-distance transport of non-hazardous liquids
• Storing dry bulk materials such as grains, pellets or powders
• Use in agricultural settings for feed, fertilizers or water storage
• General industrial applications requiring corrosion-resistant containers
• Domestic uses such as rainwater collection or tool and material storage

Key specifications

• Capacity: 85 litres
• Material: corrosion-resistant polyethylene (plastic)
• Design feature: integrated reinforced rim for improved rigidity
• Shape: cylindrical with smooth interior surface
• Weight: lightweight construction for easier handling
• Intended load: suitable for stacking and handling when properly loaded

How to use

Place the barrel on a stable, level surface before filling. When filling with liquids or bulk solids, avoid overfilling beyond the manufacturer’s recommended capacity and ensure the lid or closure (if provided) is securely fitted to prevent spillage. For transport, use appropriate handling equipment such as a forklift cradle or drum trolley and observe safe lifting practices to avoid damage to the rim. Clean the interior with suitable detergents and rinsing agents before changing contents to prevent cross-contamination.

Usage recommendations

For safe stacking, align barrels on a flat surface and do not exceed recommended stacking height. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if contents are UV-sensitive; consider shading or storing indoors. Do not use for storing chemicals classified as hazardous without verifying chemical compatibility with polyethylene. Inspect the reinforced rim and body regularly for cracks or deformation and replace the barrel if structural damage is detected.
