Storing liquids in drums presents distinct workplace safety, environmental, and spatial challenges. Divakaran Storage and Handling Systems Pvt. Ltd. manufactures specialised drum racking systems designed specifically to handle standard 200-litre (55 US gal) cylindrical steel and high-density polyethylene barrels.
Fabricated at our Umbergaon (Gujarat) production facility from structural-grade steel profiles, our barrel racks accommodate multi-tier configurations with curved saddle cradles, roll-off stops, and optional drip catchment containment. Designed to integrate smoothly with standard counterbalance forklifts, hydraulic drum stackers, or overhead hoists, each bay provides 100% direct access and safe fluid decanting.
Select from our field-tested drum storage frameworks engineered for manufacturing tool rooms, chemical warehouses, paint blending plants, and bulk petroleum stores.
Our standard heavy-duty horizontal rack designed for chemical plants and manufacturing storehouses. Equipped with high-tensile steel crossbeams and precision-formed cradle saddles that prevent drum rolling.

Why plant managers and safety officers choose purpose-engineered horizontal drum racks over hazardous floor palletising.
Retrieve or dispense from any individual drum without disturbing adjacent barrels, preventing costly double-handling and load shifting risks.
Curved drum cradles with heavy-duty end retainers lock cylindrical profiles firmly in place against forklift accidental knocks or seismic vibrations.
Modular layouts facilitate beneath-beam sump trays, preventing chemical, lubricant, or solvent leaks from spreading across workshop floors.
Supplied in complete knock-down (CKD) format, our racks load compactly into standard 20ft/40ft shipping containers for global delivery.
Standard engineering baselines. All systems can be custom fabricated to specific drum diameters, liquid specific gravities, and warehouse heights.
