Abstract
A forkliftable drum for the transportation and storage of materials is disclosed herein. The drum is comprised of a top ring having a series of forklift pockets arranged around the circumference to allow lifting and transporting of the drum by a forklift. Two or more drums may be connected by means of straps or threaded fasteners to create a bundle which can be transported without pallets. Drums of varying capacities may be provided which have the same diameter, allowing different capacity drums to be integrated into a single bundle.
