    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 Foot Pump
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drum Lifters. Manual Drum Lift Trucks, V-Style Base—Hydraulic Foot Pump.
    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.
    Phenolic Wheel—Phenolic wheels are nonmarking and roll best on smooth surfaces.
    650 lb. Capacity with Retracted Legs—Trucks with retractable legs collapse into a smaller footprint for transportation across tight facilities. Extend the legs before lifting.

    Style D

    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.
    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.
    Chain Grip—Lifters with chain have a ratchet tightener to secure the drum.
    Pad Grip—Lifters with pads have adjustment screws to secure the drum.

    Hydraulic Drum Handlers with Chute

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Drum Lifters. Hydraulic Drum Handlers with Chute.
    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.

    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.

    Style B

    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.
    Drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.
    Tilt brakes prevent the drum from tilting when not in use.
    Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums retrofit Style A dispensers to have the same capabilities as Style B dispensers. They bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom of the drum to give the dispenser enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Style B—Style B dispensers have a built-in bracket assembly that grips the drum from the top and bottom, allowing them to lift rimless fiber, plastic, or steel drums.
