Open-Head Drum/Pail

A container with a removable top or lid, allowing full access to the interior.

An open-head drum or pail (UN code 1H2) features a completely removable top, providing full access to the container interior for filling, mixing, and cleaning. Open-head designs are preferred for viscous products, powders, and applications requiring manual scooping. They typically use snap-on or bolt-ring lids secured with a locking ring or lever closure.
