Equipment for moving, lifting and decanting drums safely, matched to steel and plastic drum types. Drum porters, tippers and clamps from Warrior; for forklift handling see drum grabs, and store drums safely with drum storage.
Drum handling equipment is designed around a drum type — steel with a rolling hoop, plastic with a moulded rim, or fibre. A grab designed for a steel drum rim will not hold a plastic drum safely, and the failure mode is the drum dropping.
Decide what the job actually is. Moving a drum across a floor needs a trolley; lifting one to height needs a rated grab and a lifting appliance; decanting needs a tipper or cradle. Equipment for one rarely does the others well.
A full drum behaves very differently to an empty one, and liquid contents shift during a lift. Specify against the heaviest condition the drum will be handled in.
Only if it is designed for them. Steel drum grabs work on the rolling hoop, which plastic drums do not have.
Not safely. Drums need equipment that positively grips or supports them, because a sling can slide off as the load shifts.
We supply Warrior. Ranges vary, so check the brand page for the full listing.
