Universal Drum Rotator (Manual)

STM01-DRU01

A safe and easy way to decant drums in the workplace. The manual-lift drum tilting unit provides operators with an ergonomic drum handling solution for low-duty applications. Consider an electric-powered lift model for higher-duty applications.

STARTING FROM £7,240 GBP*

Features

Drawing on decades of industry experience, we have continuously refined our products to incorporate superior features.

Safe, ergonomic, and easy

This model uses two manual-hydraulic pumps attached to the rear handle. To lift a drum, operators pump the rear handle back and forth, this raises the height of the carriage. The lift pumps have been designed so that the force required to lift a drum is low and meets the manual handling guidelines. To lower the drum back down, operators turn a controllable lowering lever. When handling more than 5-10 drums per day, we highly recommend you explore our electric model or pneumatic model, these models are faster and therefore further save time. Powered models are inherently less physically demanding for operators which is an added benefit.

Upgrades

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

ATEX model for hazardous areas

We can offer an ATEX / UKEX version of this drum rotator model, suitable for use in zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments. This version will have anti-static wheels, anti-static guarding, earthing chains and full ATEX documentation.


To ensure safety and conformity, our engineers verify that each 'Ex' model has electrical continuity throughout, meaning any static charges are fully dissipated and not isolated.
