500kg Capacity Drum Lifter | Warehouse & Chemical Storage

Manually tilting or dragging heavy drums across a warehouse floor is a slow process that puts unnecessary strain on the operator. This industrial drum lifter is a dedicated piece of materials handling equipment designed to take the heavy lifting out of transporting and stowing large containers. It is built for high-traffic environments where steel or polyethylene drums need to be moved frequently and safely.

The unit works by automatically engaging the drum rim as it is raised, which creates a secure grip and locks the load in place to reduce the risk of accidental slips. For those handling open-head drums, the three-point contact lifting arms are a key feature, as they help prevent the rim from deforming under the weight of the contents. This design allows a single operator to manoeuvre heavy loads with minimal physical effort, speeding up the process of clearing floor space or loading transport vehicles.

With a load capacity of 500kg and a net weight of 13kg, this tool handles both 125 and 210 litre drums. The compact 711 x 711 x 215mm footprint makes it easy to store when not in use. These specifications suit sites with tight aisles and heavy chemical or oil drum rotations.
