How many drums does each rack hold, and what is the rated capacity?
There are two rack sizes: the PDR-2 holds two 55-gallon drums and is rated 1500 lb, and the PDR-4 holds four 55-gallon drums and is rated 3000 lb. Confirm the filled weight of your own drums against the rating before loading, since drum contents vary widely by product.
What drum size do these racks fit?
Both racks are built for 55-gallon drums. The PDR-2 and PDR-4 are listed specifically as 55-gallon drum racks, so smaller or larger drums are outside the published product data. If you handle a mixed fleet of drum sizes, check the dimensions of your containers before ordering rather than assuming they will seat correctly.
What is the PDR-SHF, and do I need one?
The PDR-SHF is a drum rack dispensing shelf, listed separately at $125.54. It is an accessory item within the same PDR family rather than a rack on its own, so it does not hold drums by itself. Order it alongside a PDR-2 or PDR-4 if you want a shelf position for dispensing.
How many models are available and what do they cost?
Three models are available, spanning $125.54 to $1,307.20. The PDR-SHF dispensing shelf is $125.54, the two-drum PDR-2 is $1,009.60, and the four-drum PDR-4 is $1,307.20. Prices shown are for the rack or shelf itself; drums, contents, and any handling equipment are not part of these listings.
Who makes these racks and what warranty comes with them?
They are made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carry a 1-Year Limited warranty. That warranty applies to the rack as supplied. We do not publish claims here about compatibility with specific forklifts, drum handlers, or containment systems — if your application depends on a particular pairing, verify it before you order.
Who are these racks a good fit for, and who should look elsewhere?
They suit operations storing 55-gallon drums in a fixed location, with the PDR-2 for smaller drum counts and the PDR-4 where four drums need to sit together. Buyers running non-55-gallon containers, or needing a rated combination beyond 3000 lb in one unit, will need a different product than these three models.
