Drum handling is a safe and efficient process of moving and lifting drums in warehouses. Different types of drum handling equipment, such as lifters, dispensers, and dollies, can make the task safer and faster. Our range of drum-handling equipment can help you position drums or even meet your logistics needs.

Types of Drum Handling Equipment

There are several types of drum handling equipment you can use depending on the nature of your needs and operation. Some of the essential options include the following:

Drum Lifters

Drum lifters are used to lift and move drums. They can also be used to relocate drums and are available in various configurations, such as manual, electric, and hydraulic.

They also have features such as positive-grip web straps and ratchet mechanisms that help to keep the drums secure while in transit.

Drum Dollies

Drum dollies have wheels and a platform. They provide easy mobility and movement of the drums. Instead of having to drag the drums, employees can simply place the drum on the dolly’s platform and push it to the desired location, which is easier and faster.

However, dollies are preferred for short distances, preferably within the facility. They can be used for both round and square-shaped drums.

Drum Trucks

If you need to carry the drums over longer distances, you should consider drum trucks. These trucks are designed to transport drums over longer distances. They have durable wheels that work on smooth and rough surfaces and are easy to use.

Drum Rotators

If your facility handles drums that contain contents that need to be agitated or to mix the drum contents, you may need a drum rotator. This equipment can tilt the drums or put them in an upright position or a rolling position.

Drum Grabs and Clamps

Drum grabs and clamps are ideal for lifting drums vertically. They provide a secure grip and can be used with other drum-handling equipment, such as hoists or lifters.

Drum Dispensers

These are specifically designed to distribute or empty the drums’ contents safely and securely. Depending on the application, they can be manually or automatically operated.

Other types of drum equipment handling include hoists and the drum porter. The type of equipment you choose to invest in will depend on the nature of your operations and the contents inside the drums.

Benefits of Drum Handling Equipment

Investing in drum handling equipment can have various benefits for your operations and employees, which include:

Enhanced safety

The most significant benefit of using drum handling equipment is the enhanced safety it provides. Handling heavy drums manually comes with risks and injuries, such as sprains and strains. With the handling equipment, you don’t have to worry about injuries and related safety risks to your employees.

Increased efficiency

With drum handling equipment, you can easily move drums within a shorter time. It allows your business to be more efficient and less prone to errors and inconsistencies.
