Drum Lifters

A drum lifter is a piece of equipment designed to safely grip, lift, and move drums to and from its destined location by using a clamp, strap, or tong. The drums are typically lifted and transported by using electric or hydraulic power. Some lifters can tilt and rotate the drum to mix or pour contents. Drum lifters are great additions to industrial settings to improve efficiency and safety when handling drums.

To choose the right lifter, you’ll need to consider a few factors. Some lifters are designed for specific capacities, so knowing what size drum you have helps narrow down your options. Knowing how much your drum weighs is also an important factor, as some lifters are only able to hold a certain amount of weight. Choosing a drum lifter that cannot handle the weight of your drum can be dangerous and potentially damage the equipment. The type of environment the lifter will be used in is another important factor. If the lifters are going to be used in corrosive environments, stainless steel is a good option to help reduce rust. If the environment is flammable or explosive, spark-resistant lifters are necessary to sustain a safe workplace. All these considerations should help you choose the right drum lifter for your needs.

Common drum lifters include vertical, horizontal, forklift, and hydraulic types. Many lifters are made to move steel drums, but there are also drum lifters for plastic drums. Most lifters are made from steel to handle heavy drums. Cary has drum lifters available in both steel and stainless steel materials, offering the strength and durability needed to lift all types of drums.

A typical drum lifter has a weight capacity of around 1,000 lbs., which is sufficient for most 55 gallon drums that are holding content inside them. At The Cary Company, we offer drum and barrel lifters with the ability to safely lift a range of capacities including 660 lbs., 700 lbs., 750 lbs., 1,000 lbs., and 3,000 lbs.
