    Move upright drums on and off pallets and trucks.
    Steel Hooks—Your go-to for most jobs, the steel hooks lift drums by their rims.
    Steel Clamps—Two spring-loaded clamps snap onto the drum rim and hold tight, so your drum won’t slip from jolts and sudden stops. Although they're more secure than hook grips, they can dent your drums.
    Polyester Straps—Wrap around drums to move them without causing dents. These slings also lift damaged drums that hooks won’t grip tight.
