Description
Overview
This 50 L open-head drum is a small blow-moulded HDPE container with a removable lid and locking ring. It is the size one person can carry full, which makes it the practical pick for workshop oils, grease, seed and mineral supplements.
It weighs only 3 kg and is about 380 mm across and 560 mm tall, an estimate for a typical 50 L drum. The open head lets you scoop product out and clean the inside, which a tight-head drum does not allow.
Key features
- 50 L capacity in a 380 mm round footprint
- Open head with removable lid and locking ring
- Blow-moulded HDPE at only 3 kg
- Easy to carry full and to stack on a shelf
- Suits oils, grease, seed, feed and small chemical batches
Where it works
Workshops and service bays in Gauteng use it for used oil and grease, and small farmers in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape use it for seed and mineral supplement. Pest-control crews in KwaZulu-Natal carry product in it, and cellar hands in the Western Cape use it for cleaning solutions.

The shipping weight is 3 kg, which puts a single unit in the up to 30 kg (R550) delivery band. Orders are priced by total weight, so combining several items in one order keeps the fee per unit low. Tell us your town when you order and we confirm the delivery day. Ask us for the warranty terms on this model.
Questions about this product
Why choose an open-head drum over a tight-head one?
An open-head drum has a fully removable top, so you can fill it with a scoop, reach in with a brush and empty it completely. That suits feed, powders, grease and pellets. A tight-head drum with bungs suits thin liquids you pour or pump out, and seals better when it is tipped.
Do you deliver a 50 L plastic drum to Pietermaritzburg?
Yes, we deliver with our own trucks to all nine provinces, including Pietermaritzburg, normally in 1 to 3 days. Fees follow total order weight: up to 30 kg R550, 30 to 60 kg R950, 60 to 100 kg R1,450, over 100 kg on quotation. This ships at 3 kg, in the up to 30 kg (R550) band. Around 10 of these fit inside the 30 kg band, so ordering several together cuts the cost per drum.
Can one person carry a full 50 L drum?
It depends on the contents. The drum itself weighs 3 kg and holds up to 50 L, so with water it comes to about 53 kg, which is a two-person lift. With feed, seed or grease it is lighter. Always lift with two hands under the base or use a hand trolley.
What can I store in a 50 L open-head drum?
Water, oils, many chemicals and dry goods such as feed, pellets or salt, because the HDPE body resists most common products. Check your own product for compatibility, and ask us before storing anything aggressive. We do not state a food-contact rating for this drum, so ask us first if that matters for your use.
