208L Closed-Head Plastic Drum (Single Ring)
Cost-efficient 200L tight-head HDPE drum with a single reinforcing ring.
Overview
The single-ring version shares the body geometry, thread and closure dimensions of the double-ring drum, but carries one reinforcing ring instead of two. That makes it lighter and more economical where stacking height and transport intensity are moderate, while keeping the same chemical resistance and the same 59/59 mm bung layout.

Typical uses

Handling note. Choose the single-ring drum where annual volumes are high and pallet stacking is limited to three high. Where four-high stacking or long sea freight is normal, the double-ring version is the safer specification.
