Stainless Steel Side-Shift Drum Unloader

Sixteen precision bearings allow the lifter section of the drum unloader to slide left and right. The sliding mechanism allows drums to be positioned accurately on a pallet or in the workplace. Due to the extremely low rolling resistance of the bearings, the lifter slides effortlessly even with a fully-loaded 350kg drum attached. The lifter body is locked in position using a simple hand-operated toggle clamp.

Each stainless steel drum unloader is fitted with a UK-made hydraulic pump assembly. The pump supplies hydraulic oil to a stainless steel sheaved lift ram. The pump itself is encased within a sealed shroud to protect it from dirt and debris. To operate the pump operators simply pump the rear handle back and forth; a precision valve provides control when lowering the drum back down onto the floor or a pallet. All hydraulic circuits are fully cleaned and tested before dispatch ensuring zero defects.

Within certain industries, explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist as a by-product of the materials and manufacturing techniques being used. These areas are classified as ATEX / UKEX and are classified as either Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22. We offer a range of ATEX / UKEX drum loaders with anti-static wheels, anti-static clear guarding and earthing chains for use in these hazardous environments. We ensure electrical continuity throughout the unit, we supply our ATEX / UKEX units with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
