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.
