Key product features

Low operator effort

An operator uses minimal effort to hold the STS drum turner at an angle

Low operator effort

Our curved design and ergonomic handle heights minimise the amount of effort required to move and decant drums. You can comfortably orient drums weighing up to 300kg using an input force lower than 25kg.

Safe drum loading

An engineer uses an STS drum trolleys to load the STS drum turner

Safe drum loading

Make sure you use a safe and suitable drum lifter, such as our STS Universal Drum Trolley (pictured) or one of our STS drum depalletisers, to load your drum onto the baseplate.

Unique design/forklift unloading

A drum is secured in the drum turnover cradle ready for manual handling

Unique design/forklift unloading

Once you’ve rotated a drum, you can use forked equipment to go underneath the cradle and lift up, removing the drum from the cradle. This is ideal if you need to place drums into storage racking horizontally.

Stainless-steel construction

Stainless-steel construction

We build this drum cradle in full stainless steel, making it particularly suitable for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Stainless steel is far superior to other materials when it comes to corrosion resistance, and we design all of our units to last.
