N55 Pallet — Purpose-Built for Four N55 Drums

The N55 Pallet is a thermoformed HDPE pallet designed as the other half of the N55 system. It captures four drums on the bottom — and when pallets are stacked, captures the drums below on the top as well — turning drums and pallets into one located, restrained, washable load.

Is This Your Pallet?

Where the N55 Pallet fits — and where it doesn’t.

Designed for

  • N55 drum programs that store and ship filled drums in stacked loads.
  • Food and beverage operations with washdown routines — HDPE construction with drainage weep holes.
  • Plants that want the load located from both directions: drums captured below and, when stacked, from above.
  • Forklift-handled operations — wide openings for straightforward entry.

Not designed for

  • General pallet loads — the deck is purpose-molded to capture N55 drums, not mixed freight.
  • Drums other than the N55 — capture geometry is matched to the N55 body.
How It Works

Captured from below. Captured from above.

Four-drum capture deck

The thermoformed deck locates each N55 in its own position, so drums can’t walk or shift on the pallet.

Top capture when stacked

Stack a second pallet and it captures the tops of the drums below — the load is located from both directions, layer after layer.

Strap where it belongs

The N55’s molded strapping channel locates restraint straps across the palletized load for transit.

Washdown-ready

Drainage weep holes let wash water out instead of pooling — thermoformed HDPE with none of wood’s splinters or moisture retention.

N55 Pallet Questions

Answers buyers ask for first.

Answers to the questions we hear most before a first quote. If yours isn’t here, the form is the fastest route to a specific answer.

How many drums does the N55 Pallet hold?

Four N55 drums per pallet. The thermoformed HDPE deck captures each drum on the bottom, and when pallets are stacked, the pallet above captures the drums on the top as well — locating the load from both directions.

Can loaded pallets be stacked?

Yes — the system is designed for stacked storage and shipping of filled drums, with the pallet capturing drums top and bottom and the drum’s molded strapping channel locating restraint straps. Stacking limits for your specific load are confirmed with our team.

Is it suitable for washdown environments?

The pallet is thermoformed HDPE with drainage weep holes, so wash water drains rather than pooling — suited to the washdown routines of food and beverage operations, without the splinters or moisture retention of wood.
