Drum Trolley - Universal

The gripping catch has vertical height adjustment and a range of hook positions, allowing you to connect to drums from 50- to 205-litre. Simply remove the pin from the catch, adjust the position of the top hook and replace the pin to fit your drum into the trolley. We often get asked if a separate plastic drum trolley is available for MAUSER or L-Ring drums; this is the only unit required as the DTC01 is universal and can easily connect to steel, plastic and fibreboard drums.

When you move the oil drum trolley into the deployed position, the wheels slide beneath the drum. By positioning the centre of gravity directly over the wheels, the unit provides ultimate stability and control when transporting drums. This design feature is unique to STS and was first developed back in 1999 in Cornwall, UK.

Manually moving heavy drums can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) as detailed in our safety section. This workplace risk means that it is essential for companies to carry out detailed assessments of risks being undertaken by staff. The DTC01 has been proven to reduce the effort it takes to move drums and therefore reduces workplace injuries.

To make sure the trolley works well in all conditions, we use high-quality elasticated rubber wheels. We also use rubber-sealed (RS) precision bearings, to provide premium wheel performance in harsh environments. For you to get the most out of this unit we recommend using it on smooth surfaces.

We can provide a fully-certified ATEX / UKEX drum trolley for use in hazardous work areas. Our DTC01-Ex is suitable for gas and dust classified spaces: Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22, where explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist. 

The trolley is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to ground is always present. We supply our ATEX / UKEX equipment with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
