Solution
Moving, lifting, storing and decanting steel drums
A 55 gallon drum of oil weighs around 450 lb full. Every time it is walked on its rim, propped on timber or slung on a chain, someone is taking a risk that a purpose-built piece of steel would remove.
Drum Handling and Storage
Three Stages and The Equipment For Each
Stage 01
Move it
Straddle caddies and dollies rated 1,000 to 1,200 lb, wheel type chosen for the floor surface rather than for price.
Stage 02
Lift it
Rim-gripping clutchers for a hoist or crane, fork-mounted grabs and lifters where the plant already runs fork trucks.
Stage 03
Store and pour it
Horizontal racks that stack two or three drums high, and rotating cradle carts that hold a pouring angle without a second person.
