Drum mover
November 1st 2003 Often where drums are tightly packed on a pallet, the only way to remove them is to site the drum truck alongside the pallet. Once the automatic catch has the drum gripped, it can be tilted clear of the pallet and lowered to the ground using an integral hand-operated winch.
Suitable for steel or plastic drums with a rim, the Drum Buddy DB350W from Southworth Handling weighs just 20kg and, with its sprung third wheel, lets operators move drums over a distance and even through standard doorways.
It can handle most drums between 60 and 210l capacity and is said to prevent pallet damage and improve safety. More articles from Southworth Handling Ltd: |
