Raise, transport, tilt, and drain full drums using the hook of a crane or hoist. A lock on each side of the frame keeps the drum vertical or horizontal during transport.

Lifters with chain have a ratchet tightener to secure the drum.

Lifters with pads have adjustment screws to secure the drum.

Optional tilt brake (sold separately) holds your drum in place if chain is released.

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

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

Convert a forklift to lift and transport drums. The arms on these drum movers automatically close and lock around the side of a drum when lifted with a forklift and release when the drum is set down. Locking screws clamp down on the forks to secure the movers to your forklift.

Style A are for use with plastic drums.

Style C have a single locking screw for faster tightening.

Style D have rubber-lined gripping arms that provide a nonslip contact surface to better grip drums.

Style E hold two drums.

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

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.

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.

These dispensers mount to the forks of a forklift for lifting and transport, plus they pivot for manual tilting so dispensing is easy. The band clamps around the drum and is secured with a latch.

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