    Manual Drum Lift Trucks

    Lift, transport, and place drums without a forklift. Roll these trucks right to the edge of your pallet or platform to load and unload drums. Back swivel casters make them simple to steer.
    V-Style Base—Gas-Spring Pump Handle
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drum Lifters. Manual Drum Lift Trucks, V-Style Base—Gas-Spring Pump Handle.
    Trucks with a gas-spring pump handle raise your drum as you pump down the handle. The leverage of the handle and the power of the gas spring alleviate the weight of the load. Built to prevent tipping, a ratchet mechanism keeps your movements controlled. Three hooks securely hold the drum below the rim.
    Polypropylene Wheel—Polypropylene wheels are lightweight and work on smooth surfaces.

    V-Style Base—Hydraulic Pump Handle
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drum Lifters. Manual Drum Lift Trucks, V-Style Base—Hydraulic Pump Handle.
    Trucks with a hydraulic pump require less manual effort to lift and position heavy drums than lift trucks with a gas-spring pump handle. Control up and down movement by activating either a hand or foot lever. A claw-style gripper attaches at one point on the rim of your drum—similar to an electric can opener latching onto a can.

    Battery-Operated Drum Lift Trucks

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Drum Lifters. Battery-Operated Drum Lift Trucks.
    Lift heavy drums in seconds—without ever touching them. Powered by a battery-operated hydraulic pump, these trucks grip, lift, lower, and release drums with the push of a button. No manual pumping required. The claw-style grabber won’t release the drum until it’s fully set down. With a lift height over 3 ft., these trucks can stack two drums or load them into most pickup trucks. A V-style base makes it easy to load and unload drums from pallets and platforms. Plug these trucks into any standard wall outlet to charge the battery.
    Retractable legs let you maneuver in tight spaces, and two swivel casters at the back of the truck make steering and pivoting easy. Once the truck is in place, engage the floor lock to keep it stable while you lift and lower loads. The wheels are phenolic, so they’re nonmarking and roll best on smooth surfaces.
