buckets & canister

In our central warehouse in Wuppertal we stock all common sizes of bucket types. The volumes range from 1,000 ml to 30,000 ml, both with and without a handle. The standard color is white, some sizes are also available in black and transparent. In general, we also offer each bucket in other standard colors such as: transparent, black, blue, red, green, yellow, orange, light blue.
Our buckets are waterproof, food-safe and have a stacking fixation that prevents them from riding up during transport. Buckets can be finished with in-mold labeling upon request.
Plastic canisters are also available from 2.5l to 30l in the colors: natural, blue, white and sometimes black. The canisters generally have UN approval and accessories such as drain taps or large-volume dispenser pumps are possible.
In addition to the normal plastic canisters, folding canisters with outer cardboard boxes from 3,000 ml to 30,000 ml are also available. We can print the boxes individually.

Buckets and canisters are indispensable in numerous industrial sectors – whether for the safe transport of liquids, the storage of raw materials, or the protection of sensitive contents. They are used in the chemical and food industries as well as in construction or agriculture. Thanks to their high stability, resilience, and versatile applications, they offer companies a reliable and economical packaging solution.

POHLI offers you a comprehensive range of high-quality buckets and canisters – for maximum safety, efficiency, and adaptability in your operations.

Advantages of buckets and canisters for companies

Buckets and canisters offer numerous advantages for companies that rely on reliable and cost-efficient storage and transport of materials. Thanks to their robust construction, they can withstand various stresses without losing their functionality. A particularly noteworthy benefit is their versatility: buckets and canisters are available in different sizes and versions to meet all operational requirements.

Another advantage is their low weight compared to alternative outer packaging such as glass or metal. This not only facilitates transport but also reduces logistics costs across the entire supply chain.

Variety of materials and durability

The buckets and canisters at POHLI are made from high-quality plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials not only offer high resistance to chemicals and external influences, but also meet industry-specific requirements such as food safety or UN certifications for hazardous goods.

Depending on the intended use, our buckets and canisters are available in various colors:

  • Natural (transparent): facilitates fill level control

  • White: classic and hygienic, ideal for food or pharmaceutical products

  • Black: UV-resistant and ideal for light-sensitive contents

  • Blue or red: for better differentiation of various substances, especially hazardous goods

Canisters and buckets in various sizes

From the classic round bucket with or without lid to the rectangular canister for space-saving storage – we have the right solution for every industry. Our canisters, buckets, and collapsible politainers are available – depending on the product variant – in sizes from 1 liter to 30 liters, offering safe storage for liquids, chemicals, or solids.

You can also choose from various closure types: we offer a wide range of options such as screw caps, tamper-evident closures, or dispensing taps.

Application areas of buckets and canisters

In the food industry

Buckets and canisters are used in the food industry, for example, to store oil, liquids, juices, or bulk ingredients for commercial kitchens. At POHLI, you’ll find buckets and canisters that are specifically certified for the safe transport and storage of food and that meet all applicable food safety standards.

For the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, buckets and canisters are indispensable when it comes to safely storing and transporting chemicals, disinfectants, pharmaceutical products, or other sensitive or hazardous substances. Our HDPE canisters offer excellent resistance to aggressive substances. They also allow for easy labeling, which is required for compliance with legal regulations and safety standards.

In construction and agriculture

Canisters and buckets are also widely used in the construction and agricultural sectors. They are used to transport materials such as paint, lubricants, plaster, fertilizer, or liquids for agricultural use. Thanks to their high stability and resistant design, they are perfectly suited for challenging conditions.

Sustainability and recycling in the packaging sector

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in industrial production and the transport of goods. In the field of packaging solutions as well, the trend is moving toward eco-friendly materials and recyclability. Many of our buckets and canisters are made of recyclable plastic.
