Key product features

Unique leg design

Unique leg design

The legs of this model have been designed to allow drums to be lifted from either the floor or from Euro pallets. The unit is fitted with 800mm straddle legs that go around the narrow end of a Euro pallet. If you require a unit with legs that go beneath a Euro pallet please get in touch and we can offer a custom unit. 

Universal drum catch

Our stainless steel universal drum gripping mechanism easily adjusts to connect to a wide range of drum types, sizes, and materials. The top hook on the catch can be adjusted forward and backward to adapt to drums with different lip designs. For a breakdown of the barrels that are compatible with this product, see the drum suitability document below.

Manual hydraulic pump

Manual hydraulic pump

All our manual-lift units are fitted with UK-made high-quality hand pumps. We ensure that every hydraulic system is both reliable and free of defects. The hand pump is easy to operate; operators simply pump the handle up and down to raise the load and then turn a hand-operated valve to lower drums back down to the ground or onto a Euro pallet. Our team of assembly engineers tests and inspects every hand pump to ensure zero defects.

Drum suitability

Drum suitability

The manual-hydraulic drum lifter can handle a wide variety of drum types and sizes including plastic MAUSER drums and fibreboard drums. This is especially useful if your firm handles many different types of drums on a daily or weekly basis. For an in-depth breakdown of the drums with which this unit is compatible, please see the document below. If the barrels you use are not shown in the document, please contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
