Iron barrels were introduced in the early 1920s and began to replace the previous wooden barrels as packaging containers for transportation. Today, iron drums have become the most widely used transport packaging container. It has high strength, sturdiness, durability and hygiene, and is more suitable for international maritime transportation.
Nowadays, you will find that many items are transported in iron drums, especially items that can be dumped, such as liquids, chemicals, oils, solvents, paints, and other unconventional items such as flour, grains, etc.

In short, no matter whether it is liquid or solid, as long as it is a pourable item, an iron bucket is a very good packaging and transportation container. However, once the product in this kind of iron bucket is used up, the transportation of the empty iron bucket is not so convenient, because the iron bucket is generally large, takes up a lot of space, and is not easy to move. The best way is to put it Squash.
