TANKS produces UN-approved steel salvage drums for the containment of defective or damaged metal or plastic drums, to allow their safe storage and transport according to current standards.
The painted or galvanised carbon steel or stainless-steel TANKS salvage drums are the ideal, functional, and approved technical solution to solve all storage and transport issues with metal or plastic drums that suffer damage and begin to lose hazardous material. Thanks to these salvage drums, damaged drums can be immediately secured and transported to their final destination, by road, by sea or by rail, in full compliance with regulations.
What are the TANKS salvage drums
The Tanks salvage drums are extraordinary packaging drums made entirely of painted or galvanised carbon steel or stainless steel, of a greater size than the standard dimensions of drums normally used in all industry segment. Their purpose is to contain entirely, like a Matryoshka, drums that, following impact, wear over time or any other situation, have suffered damage that undermines their integrity, leading to leaks of hazardous material inside. Once these drums are inserted and sealed inside our salvage drums, any leak is contained and they can be transported in full safety according to laws in force, without a need for transfer. We must emphasize that our salvage drums are not normal overpacks to be used to limit the risk of damage to metal or plastic drums, but real and proper salvage drums designed to contain already damaged and leaky drums.
Importance of Approval
Tanks salvage drums are UN-approved (ADR link supplied by the customer) and they are specifically T-classified. This aligns them with standards and regulations in force all over the world, allowing them to be transported in complete safety regardless of the nature of the material in the original damaged drum, ensuring full containment without leaks or spills. Salvage drums are designed and made to withstand without problems possible impacts that may occur during storage or handling, to guarantee absolute protection of both workers and the environment.

Just as the use of metal and plastic drums is transversal to all industrial segments, so are the situations of damage, loss or spillage that require the use of Tanks salvage drums; they can in fact contain hazardous materials of any kind. Among the countless applications of our salvage drums, however, we can identify three main areas:
