PRODUCT FEATURES
Is this 5.6-gallon bucket UN-rated for hazardous material transport?
Yes. When used with a certified UN-rated lid, this pail complies with UN specifications for shipping regulated materials. It carries the marking 1H2/Y1.5/30/**/USA/+AA11616, indicating it meets performance standards for solid hazardous contents under DOT regulations.
What makes this pail suitable for industrial and hazmat use?
This pail is injection-molded from virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with reinforced ribs and a thick 0.095” wall. The rugged design provides superior resistance to impact, stacking pressure, and chemical exposure—ideal for transportation and storage in demanding environments.
Does this bucket come with a UN-rated lid?
No. This pail is sold without a lid. To comply with UN packaging standards, it must be paired with a certified lid bearing the appropriate UN marking. A compatible lid is available separately on our site.
Can I use this pail for food storage as well as industrial use?
Yes. Despite being UN-rated for hazmat, this pail is also made from FDA-compliant, food-grade HDPE that is BPA-free and safe for contact with edible contents like syrups, grains, or dry goods.
How does the 0.095” thickness compare to other commercial buckets?
Most hardware-store buckets have wall thicknesses around 70 mil (0.070”). This industrial-grade bucket offers a 0.095” wall—over 35% thicker—providing enhanced stacking strength and durability for high-demand use.
What are the dimensions of this bucket?
The bucket measures approximately 14.56” tall with a top diameter of 11.90” and a bottom diameter of 10.40”. It is slightly larger than typical 5-gallon buckets to accommodate its reinforced structure and 5.6-gallon total capacity.
Can I recycle this bucket after use?
Yes. It’s made from #2 HDPE, one of the most commonly recycled plastics in curbside and industrial recycling programs. Please rinse thoroughly before recycling.
