Product Overview
This 95-gallon overpack drum from Eagle Manufacturing is the largest overpack in the lineup, designed to contain a damaged or leaking drum up to 55 gallons. Constructed from heavy-duty HDPE polyethylene with a screw-on lid, this overpack provides full secondary containment for standard 55-gallon steel or poly drums during emergency response, storage, and regulated transport.
UN/DOT rated 1H2/X300/S, this overpack drum carries the highest performance certification with a maximum gross mass of 300 kg (660 lbs). Dimensions are 31" OD x 41.25" H with a 50 lb tare weight. The tall profile provides ample room above a 55-gallon drum for the screw-on lid to seal securely, even when absorbent material is packed around the inner container.

Expert Insights
The 95-gallon overpack is the essential emergency containment vessel for facilities that store or handle 55-gallon drums. Under OSHA HAZWOPER regulations (29 CFR 1910.120), emergency response teams must have the capability to overpack leaking or damaged drums. The 95-gallon size is specifically engineered to accept a standard 55-gallon drum (typically 23 to 24 inches OD x 34 to 35 inches H) with clearance for absorbent packing.
The UN/DOT rating 1H2/X300/S certifies this overpack for the most demanding applications. The X300 designation means it handles all three Packing Groups at up to 300 kg gross mass. Since a full 55-gallon drum of liquid can weigh 450+ lbs, note that the DOT rating of 300 kg (660 lbs) sets the transport limit. For heavier inner drums, the overpack may be used for containment during storage but transport would require regulatory verification.
Key operational tips: always have the overpack and absorbent material staged together in the same location. During an emergency, every second counts. Place absorbent in the bottom of the overpack before lowering the inner drum to prevent impact damage. Pack additional absorbent around the sides and top. The 95-gallon overpack also works as a collection vessel for multiple smaller containers during a spill incident. Pair with the A1698E Drum Dolly for mobile emergency response capability.
Overpack Drums in Action
Emergency response teams keep screw-lid overpack drums pre-positioned at drum storage locations for immediate deployment when a container starts leaking. Chemical distributors use them to repackage damaged customer returns for compliant disposal. Government facilities and military installations use them for long-term storage of deteriorating containers awaiting disposal funding.
Purchased by warehouse managers, hazmat response coordinators, environmental services firms, military logistics officers, and RCRA facility managers. The screw-on lid design is preferred for emergency use because it eliminates the time and tools needed for lever-lock or band closures during active spill events.
Frequently Asked Questions
95 Gallon Overpack Drum Screw on Lid
What size drum fits inside the 95-gallon overpack?
The 95-gallon overpack is designed to accept drums up to 55 gallons. A standard 55-gallon drum (23 to 24 inches OD x 34 to 35 inches H) fits inside the 31-inch diameter overpack with clearance for absorbent material on all sides and above the inner drum.
What is the difference between the 65-gallon and 95-gallon overpack drums?
The 65-gallon overpack (A1661E) accepts drums up to 30 gallons and stands 33.75 inches tall. The 95-gallon overpack (A1690E) accepts drums up to 55 gallons and stands 41.25 inches tall. Both share the same 31-inch outside diameter and identical UN/DOT rating of 1H2/X300/S. Choose based on the largest drum size you need to contain.
Can I mount this overpack on the Drum Dolly for mobile deployment?
Yes. The Eagle A1698E Drum Dolly is specifically designed for 95-gallon overpack drums. Mounting the overpack on the dolly creates a mobile emergency containment unit that can be quickly wheeled to the location of a leaking drum, eliminating the need to carry the 50 lb empty overpack across the facility.
How do I place a heavy 55-gallon drum into the overpack during an emergency?
First, place absorbent material in the bottom of the overpack. Use a drum lifter, forklift with drum attachment, or manual drum handling equipment to lower the leaking drum into the overpack. If mechanical equipment is not available, tip the overpack on its side, slide the inner drum in, then carefully right the overpack. Always wear appropriate PPE during emergency response operations.
Is there a drain plug on this overpack drum?
No, the 95-gallon overpack drum does not include a drain plug. It is designed as a sealed containment vessel. If liquid accumulates inside and needs to be removed, it must be pumped out through the top opening. This design prevents accidental release of contained hazardous materials through an unmonitored drain.
