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 a chain and ratchet-style tightener secures the drum, and a floor lock keeps these 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.

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

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

Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom. They give the handler enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber 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.

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.

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

Tilt brakes hold your drum in place if chain is released.

Fork pockets allow these lifters to be moved with a forklift.

Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom of the drum. They give the lifter enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.

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

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

Hook these lifters to a crane or hoist to pick up 5-gallon pails and pour out their contents. A hand wheel rotates the pail 360° in either direction, so you can easily dump adhesives, paint, or chemicals into containers without spilling or splashing. You can lock the wheel at any angle—in 45° increments—to control the flow of material. A bracket fits over the top of the pail to keep it from falling when it’s upended. These lifters also have a ratcheting strap to secure the center of the pail.

These lifters work with straight- or tapered-wall pails. Measure diameter at the pail’s midpoint.

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

Eliminate spills and splatter by rotating your closed drum to mix its contents. Motor is totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) for use in environments with splashing water and dust.
