Lift Action Drum Pump
Move Fluid Out of a Drum Without Tipping It



What This Product Is
A manually operated lift action pump in stainless steel or steel with an NBR or PTFE seal, supplied with a 2 inch BSP adapter to fit standard drum bungs. It covers 25 to 55 gallon drums and is used for transferring and dispensing water, light oils, diesel, kerosene, AdBlue and other water-based chemicals.
Key Benefits
- Hand operation means no power supply is needed at the point of use
- Metal construction stands up to repeated daily use in a workshop
- NBR or PTFE seals are selected against the fluid rather than fitted as standard
- The 2 inch BSP adapter matches common drum bungs, so no adaptation is required
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Tipping a full drum to decant is heavy, slow and the main cause of spills in a store
- Powered transfer equipment is hard to justify for occasional drum decanting
- Seal materials that do not match the fluid fail early and contaminate the transfer
Application Scenarios
- Workshops and transport depots drawing AdBlue and diesel from drums
- Maintenance teams dispensing light oils into smaller service containers
- Chemical stores handling water-based products where a manual pump is enough

Work the lift handle in full strokes and let the flow settle between strokes
Flush the pump with clean water after use with chemicals and store it dry
Comparison With Other Products
The lift action pump uses a straight up and down stroke and is built in metal, which suits fuels and light oils. The rotary drum pump in the same range is made in PP and PPS with a Viton seal and a rated flow of 20L/min, which suits a wider chemical range and a smaller 5 gallon drum.
Customisation
Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
