    Tilting Pail Lifters

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Pail Lifters.
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Pail Lifters.
    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.

    Easy-Access Spout

    These pails have a twist-lock lid that opens and closes without tools and provides a more secure seal than a snap-lock lid. They are tested to comply with United Nations regulations for packaging and shipping hazardous material over land, sea, or air. These regulations aim to prevent hazardous spills caused by accidents or rough package handling.
    Note: It is the responsibility of the shipper to follow regulatory guidelines for properly packaging and labeling all hazardous materials, and ensure the appropriate method for shipping.
    For Shipping Hazardous Liquids—Open pails for hazardous liquids by pulling back the lid handle and using it to twist open the lid.
    For Shipping Hazardous Solids—Open pails for hazardous solids by squeezing the release and turning the lid.
    Neoprene Seal—Neoprene seals provide an extra-tight closure in the lid.
    Bail Handle—Bail handles are flexible and comfortable to hold. You only need one hand to grab them.
    Drip-Free Pouring Lip—Pails with a drip-free pouring lip have a solid rim for a clean, controlled pour.
    Easy-Access Spout—Pails with an easy-access spout let you pour without opening the lid.
