Upgrades

We understand that every application is unique, which is why we offer customisation and upgrades to tailor your machine to your specific requirements.

A clean hygienic solution

We offer a 304-grade stainless-steel version of this lifter, specifically engineered for use in clean manufacturing environments. Renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability, 304-grade stainless steel is ideal for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical production. These versions of our Side-Shift Drum Mover feature nickel/chrome-plated hydraulic rams for protection against corrosion. The aluminium hydraulic pump is encased in stainless steel and protected by a PVC gaiter to prevent dirt and debris ingress.
