Euro pallets have an open end on the narrow 800mm wide side of the pallet. This allows the legs of the drum lifter to easily approach and access the drums on the pallet. This leg design allows the lifter to be small and compact making it well suited to cramped production environments; however, the downside is that this model will not allow drums to be placed on the floor – the compact low-level legs become a hindrance in this case. If you need to place drums on the floor, please consider one of our other drum lifting depalletisers.

Handles a wide range of drum types

Handles a wide range of drum types
Modern industrial drums come in many different shapes and sizes, depending upon the industry they are used in. At STS we strive wherever possible to make versatile and universal equipment. The unique drum catch used on this model allows steel, plastic, and fibreboard drums to be handled with ease. The operator simply adjusts the gripper to suit the specific drum type being handled; this adjustment takes only seconds.
Handles all drum heights

Handles all drum heights
As well as the adjustable catch itself, the gripper can also be moved up and down on the front rack assembly. Operators can move the gripper up the rack for tall drums, and down the rack for short drums. This adjustability ensures that the full lifting stroke of the machine is always available, no matter what drum you are handling.
Manual hydraulic lift system

Manual hydraulic lift system
The hydraulic pump supplies oil to a hydraulic lifting ram, the system lifts the drum up when the handle is pumped back and forth. A hand-operated lowering valve mounted on the top of the lifter provides precise control when a drum needs to be lowered down onto a pallet. With our stainless-steel models, the hydraulic pump is encased in stainless steel with a PVC boot to protect it from dirt ingress - the lift ram is also nickel/chrome plated to protect it from corrosion.
