    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.

    Lift heavy drums without risking injuries and chemical spills. These slings are cost-effective compared to drum lifters, but you may need an extra person to guide loads since drums can sway.

    Move upright drums on and off pallets and trucks.
    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.
