Spill Prevention
Controlled pouring and tilting mechanisms prevent splashing and spillage. Safe dispensing for chemicals, oils, and other liquids.
Versatile Handling
Equipment for steel, plastic, and fiber drums from 30-85 gallon capacity. Manual, electric, and pneumatic power options.
OSHA Compliance
Meets material handling safety standards for industrial drum handling. Reduce workplace injuries and workers comp claims.
Equipment Types
Drum Lifters
Vertical lifting and positioning with capacities from 800-2,000 lbs. Manual, electric, and pneumatic models for all environments.
Drum Rotators/Tilters
Controlled pouring and dispensing with 360-degree rotation. Pour contents without worker strain or spill risk.
Drum Dollies/Trucks
Horizontal transport on casters or wheels. Move drums safely across the facility without manual pushing or lifting.
Drum Stackers
Vertical stacking for efficient storage. Stack drums 2-3 high with controlled lowering mechanisms for safety.
Drum Cradles
