What It Is For
- Moving drums around a plant or warehouse
- Lifting drums on and off pallets
- Loading drums on and off a truck or pickup
- Tilting drums to pour out the contents
These go by several names — drum truck, drum trolley, drum tilter, hydraulic truck and drum stacker — all referring to the same family of equipment.
What to Consider
- Drum material — steel, plastic or fibre
- The weight to be lifted (capacity)
- The lift height required
- The task — moving, pallet loading, truck loading, or tilting to pour
A 200-litre steel drum is the standard size and most trucks handle it. Plastic drums come in many sizes and shapes, so the clamp has to match the drum you actually use — always check the details before ordering.
