GTA Drum
Primarily these collapsible drums are used for the storage & transportation of fuel, drinking water, fluid food products etc..
Use as Flotation devices (surface or submerged - e.g., for the construction of the temporary bridges), pneumatic lifting jacks, pneumatic ship fenders, underwater storage of fuel supplies etc. are other applications where these drums can be used.
Mobility
Highly mobile and rugged: may be rolled, towed, floated, lifted by helicopter and dropped free-fall(15ft./4.572m.), or with parachute. Empty drums collapse to 10% of their original volume, thereby allowing for the transportation of additional cargo on return trips, and easy storage.
One 250 gal. drum=5 steel drums in capacity...the GTA drum takes up even less space when it is empty.
