Heavy Duty Steel Drum Storage for Industrial Facilities
Storing 55-gallon drums without a proper system is a headache waiting to happen. Drums take up a lot of floor space; they're heavy, and stacking them without the right equipment is a safety risk you don't need. A good 55-gallon drum rack solves all of that by getting your drums organized, off the ground, and accessible by forklift when you need to move them.
At DC Graves, we carry a full line of 55-gallon drum storage racks built from heavy-duty steel and engineered for the kind of use that industrial facilities demand day in and day out. Whether you need to store three drums or thirty, we've got a setup that fits your space and your workflow.
Types of 55 Gallon Drum Stands We Carry
Not every operation stores drums the same way, so we offer several styles to match different layouts and requirements:
- Portable Drum Racks: These are built to move. Designed with forklift access, a portable 55 gal drum stand lets you relocate two or three drums at a time without breaking a sweat. Stack them up to four levels high for serious vertical storage. The all-welded construction on setup models means they arrive ready to use, no assembly needed.
- Modular Drum Racks: A three-component system (socket feet, drum racks, and connector posts) that lets you build out your storage as your needs grow. Start with a single drum rack and scale up to five levels high. No tools or fasteners required to stack, and drums can be removed individually without disturbing the rest. This is a great option if your storage needs change seasonally or as production ramps up.
- Drum Storage Racks: Bolt-together steel angle construction designed for orderly, selective storage of both 30 and 55 gallon drums. Available in configurations from 3 to 9 drum capacity across multiple levels. Forklift accessible from front and rear.
- Structural Drum Pallet Racks: When you need maximum capacity, these handle up to 4,800 pounds per level. Built with 3" structural upright frames and adjustable load beams, these 55-gallon drum stands can store 12 or 16 drums depending on the model. Remove the drum cradles from any level, and you can store palletized material instead, giving you flexibility as your inventory mix changes.
What to Consider When Choosing a 55 Gal Drum Holder
Picking the right 55-gallon drum rack comes down to a few practical questions:
- How many drums do you need to store? A portable rack handles two or three. A structural pallet rack system can hold 16 and expand from there with adder units.
- Do you need to move them? Portable racks are designed for forklift transport. Stationary racks maximize vertical storage in a fixed location.
- Is floor space tight? Stackable and modular designs let you build upward instead of outward.
- Do you need drainage access? Tall socket feet on modular racks raise the first level high enough to drain liquid from drums at ground level.
