Northern Container stocks both steel and plastic pails. Both options are available in either open head or closed head and in a variety of sizes and options.
 
Plastic pails are commonly used for product storage because of the durability of the plastic as well the protection that it provides from contamination and moisture. Plastic pails are shatterproof, stackable and durable. They are also environmentally responsible as they are easily Reusable and Recyclable. All our plastic pails are made in the USA. They are constructed of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and are commonly used for in food and chemical packaging.
 
Steel Pails are durable, making them useful in a variety of applications. They are great for storing products, shipping and handling liquids including heated materials and many other in house for multiple applications. Our steel pails, (standard or UN Rated), feature a double-welded seam to ensure product integrity and are also available in sizes from 2 to 6 gallons.
