Pro Barrel collapsible fuel transport containers are available in 55, 250, and 500 gallon sizes, or can be manufactured to meet custom specifications. For more information, refer to our Pro Barrel Operation and Maintenance brochure.
Pro Barrel collapsible drum barrels are constructed using multiple layers of ballistic nylon tire cord and extremely tough polymer coatings, creating an exceptionally durable transport and storage container. Heavy duty end plates conntected by internal high-tensile tendons provide support for airlifting by helicopter or other sling lift applications. Our 500 gallon drum weighs only 130 lbs. dry and collapses to 5% of its filled volume for easy transportation and storage.

Pro Barrel drums are ideal for safe fuel transport by helicopter using the optional sling assembly mounted to welded lift lugs on the top plate. A 2" (50mm) threaded fill port and optional gate valve assembly turn the Pro Barrel into a fuel dispensing depot.
