Fuel Safe is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and maintains the highest levels of quality control in the industry. We have an in-house engineering and design team that can assist with the design of your aerial fuel transport container. We can produce 3D CAD drawings to simulate form, fit and function prior to prototype production. All of our design, prototyping and production are housed in our state of the art 100,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility located in Redmond, Oregon.
Pro Barrel
Remote fuel delivery, storage & dispensing with Pro Barrel® collapsible drums
The Pro Barrel® is a collapsible aerial fuel transport container designed specifically for aerial delivery of fuel to remote locations. Available in four sizes (55, 110, 250 & 500 gallons), Pro Barrels are an excellent choice for a wide variety of industrial and defense operations that require safe delivery, storage and dispensing of fuel in hard-to reach places. Meets or exceeds Mil-D-23119-D specs.
Constructed with multiple layers of ballistic nylon cord, a rugged rubberized polymer coating, and environmental protective top coat, Pro Barrels have been successfully deployed to some of the harshest environments on the planet. Suitable for use with hydrocarbon fuels (gasoline, diesel, AVGAS, oil, kerosene, etc.), these barrels can be pressure filled to 5 PSI and then collapsed to a fraction of their size for storage and transport.
Pro Barrels consist of a heavy duty fuel resistant laminated construction that is extremely robust. The outer top coat provides an environmental barrier against weather, UV, and abrasion. All flanges are industrial grade, heavy duty treated steel with welded lift attachments and threaded connections. View the Pro Barrel Brochure

Portable Drum and Barrel Construction
Pro Barrel collapsible drum barrels are constructed using multiple layers of ballistic nylon tire cord and extremely tough polymer coatings, creating an exceptionally durable transport and storage container that meets or exceeds Mil-D-23119-D Specs. High strength end plates connected by internal high-tensile tendons provide support for airlifting by helicopter or other sling lift applications. Our 500 gallon drum weighs only 130 lbs. dry and collapses to 5% of its filled volume for easy transportation and storage.
