All mechanical automatic clamping mechanisms handle from one to four drums at a time without any hydraulic or electrical connections to the lift truck. Ideal for palletizing drums or unloading trailers. Simply position the center guide over the four drums, lower and lift.

Admin — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:39:00 +0000

Need more Reach?A common application we run into from time to time is when operators are having to load and unload hot boxes or fire proof cabinets. Since we are working with 3 sided cabinets it becomes difficult to load drums since we don’t have access to the corners and they are typically elevated. With out Easy Lift Counter Balanced Drum Transporter you can easily set various type drums into the boxes without having to man handle or EVER touching the drum.

For those applications where you need to travel long distances or need to navigate up/down ramps we suggest the power travel Drum Hauler model making a tough application into the simplest of tasks.Trials available on all units.Power Drive Drum Handlers also available.
