What size drum does the DRUM-ST hold, and how much weight is it rated for?
It holds one 55-gallon drum at up to 1500 lb capacity. That rating applies to model DRUM-ST, the only configuration offered. Weigh or calculate your filled drum before ordering, since a full drum of dense liquid can exceed the rating even though it fits the stand physically. Do not load two drums or stack other material on top.
What are the stand's dimensions?
The published specifications do not list dimensions, so we can't give footprint or height figures here. The stand is built around a standard 55-gallon drum, so plan for a footprint somewhat larger than the drum plus clearance to work around it. If exact measurements matter for a rack, cabinet or spill pallet, request the drawing before ordering.
Does it need power, air or any installation?
No. It is a static stand with no motor, pump or air connection, and the specifications list no power requirement. The drum is placed on it manually or with a drum handler. There is no wiring, no compressor line and no powered components to service, so the only upkeep is inspecting the frame and welds for damage.
How many versions are available and what does it cost?
There is one model, DRUM-ST, listed at $178.53. Its description reads "DRUM STAND 55 GALLON 1500 LB CAP," and there are no capacity, size or finish variants to choose between. The price shown is per stand, so order one for each drum you need supported. Freight and lead time are quoted separately from the listed price.
Where is it made and what warranty comes with it?
It is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carries a 1-Year Limited warranty. That covers the stand as supplied. It would not cover loading past the 1500 lb rating, modifying the frame, or damage from dropping a drum onto it. Keep your invoice and the model number DRUM-ST on file for any warranty claim.
Who is this stand right for, and who should buy something else?
It suits operations that store or dispense from one 55-gallon drum at a time and want it held off the floor. It is not a lift, tilter or pourer — it does not raise, rotate or transport the drum, and it holds a single drum only. If you need to move drums between areas, choose a drum truck or handler instead.
