The jaws automatically grip the top of the drum when lifted with a forklift—great for areas with limited side clearance. The jaws release when the drum is set down. Movers have locking screws that clamp down on the forks to secure the movers to your forklift. Use with closed- and open-head drums.

Drum protectors (sold separately) bolt to the base of the mover to cushion and protect the drum from wear (mounting hardware included). Drum movers for two containers require two protectors.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Slide these dispensers onto the forks of a forklift to raise a drum, then use the hand chain to tilt and drain it from up to 10 feet away. Drums can rotate 360° in either direction. Chains or straps with ratchet-style tighteners secure the drums. Note: In half-full drums contents shift, which reduces capacity.

Style B dispensers have an additional bracket assembly that grips the drum from the top and bottom.

Optional drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.

Optional tilt brakes prevent the drum from tilting when not in use.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A hydraulic lift raises the drum to the required height, and a manual tilt mechanism positions the drum at the proper angle for emptying. Handlers can rotate the drums 360° in either direction. A drum saddle with chain and ratchet-style tightener secures the drum and a floor lock keeps the handlers stationary.

Styles A and B have a hand-operated hydraulic lift to position the drum at the required height. They require minimal assembly.

Style C have an electric hydraulic lift that raises the drum with the push of a button and positions the drum at the required height. Release the button to stop lifting. The load will not drop in the event of a power failure.

Handlers with a crank handle are best for dispensing at lower heights. Handlers with a chain hand wheel are easier to use at higher dispensing heights.

Optional drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.

Note: In half-full drums contents shift, which reduces capacity.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

With the push of a button, the electric hydraulic lift raises the drum and a chute controls the flow of the material being dispensed to prevent splashes and spills. A clamp on each side of the chute secures the drum. Handlers have a handheld pendant switch and operate only when the push-buttons are engaged. A limit switch turns off the motor when the drum reaches the maximum height. Load will not drop in the event of a power failure. Screw-down floor locks keep handlers stationary during operation.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Use with overhead lifting equipment on closed-head drums and open-head drums with tightly secured lids.

Lifters with pads grip the drum with equal pressure on both sides for a secure, even lift.

Lifters with clamps have high-strength jaws that provide a vise-like grip on drum rims up to 1" deep without damaging them. The gripping action is unaffected by greasy and oily surfaces. Clamps have a dual-lever design and are connected by chain.

Lifters with guide handles provides ultimate drum control.

Styles A-D lifters grip as they pick up the drum.

Style B lifter requires a manual release.

Style E lifter have a ratchet strap to hold the barrel. Pockets at the top of the lifter allow for use with a forklift.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Use these two-leg slings to stack steel drums.

Slings with clamps keep a grip on the drum even when not under load.

Slings with hooks grip the drum as the sling is lifted.

Slings with aluminum-bronze hooks are made of spark-resistant components.

Style C sling has two lifting eyes; use the center eye for horizontal lifts and the other eye for near vertical lifts. It has two fittings on the center eye that allow the length of the sling legs to adjust.

Style D sling has one flexible leg, one rigid bar leg, and two round lifting eyes. Use the center eye for horizontal lifts and the other eye for near vertical lifts.

Style E slings have rigid bar legs.

Style F slings are tightened and locked with a load binder.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
