Barrel Lifter with Extended Long Reach

This counterbalance barrel lifter with extended long reach allows operators to lift drums in and out of storage cabinets and process machinery.

Overview

The standard Counterbalance Barrel Lifter is a popular product for tight workspaces due to its compact design. We can upgrade this model using a 'long reach' (LR) rack assembly. This allows operators to place drums further in front of the lifter, making it better suited for loading storage cabinets, conveyors and booths. We can customise the amount of forward reach based on your exact needs.

Long reach upgrade for certain applications

Companies whose factories include bunds, cabinets or concrete plinths can experience difficulty lifting drums from these areas due to the position of the drum. We have designed an extended rack and catch arrangement to accommodate the extra reach that is required.

Operators simply approach their drum with the barrel lifter, the catch engages with the drum and they can then lift the drum to height using the manual hand pump. The universal drum catch can be adjusted quickly and easily to accommodate a variety of different drum types.

If a company requires a greater lift height for high platforms or custom containment bunds, we can adjust the height of the rack and lifter to allow for further clearance. All our barrel lifters can be adapted to suit a variety of different requirements. Get in touch to discuss your requirements today.
