Drum Overpack/Salvage

D.O.T. and UN approved dual purpose Salvage drums and overpack drums play a critical role in ensuring the safe transportation of hazardous materials. Managing damaged, defective, or leaking containers of harmful substances can pose significant challenges and risks to public safety. When a company or shipper faces the transport of a leaking package containing hazardous chemicals, soaked sorbents, or materials used to address a spill, they must adhere to the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations under 49 CFR 173.3 (c). This ensures that the transportation process is both secure and spill-proof.

Salvage drums provide an effective solution in such situations. Specifically engineered to comply with DOT’s stringent requirements, these drums are designed to safely contain packages that are damaged, leaking, or otherwise compromised. Their larger size allows the problematic package to fit snugly inside, creating a safe option for transporting hazardous materials to a disposal facility or their intended delivery destination.

On the other hand, overpack drums are purpose-built enclosures primarily designed for non-leaking packages. They provide added protection and convenience when handling one or more packages for a single consignee. While overpack drums meet DOT regulations to ensure the integrity of the inner packages, they serve a different purpose and are not interchangeable with salvage drums.
