When dealing with drums or barrels of material, safety is one of the most important things to keep in mind. Barrels can be filled with anything from small parts to oil to dangerous chemicals, and no matter what is being stored in your drums or barrels, spilling them can be hazardous as well as time consuming. If your warehouse or material handling facility frequently transporting barrels or drums, then having the proper drum handling equipment to do so is critical.

Drum trucks are used to transport drums and barrels vertically to prevent spilling. They typically have weight capacities of 1000 lbs. or more, and can have either two or three wheels depending on the style. Forklift drum handlers remove the need for maneuvering drums by hand. These attachments fit over the forks of your lift truck and is able to pick and move barrels by gripping on to the ribs.

Drum cradles have a lip at one end to pick barrels up vertically, and are then pulled horizontally onto the frame, where four casters allow for easy transportation. While barrels are horizontal, they can also be dispensed directly from the cradle. Drum carriers/ dispensers are similar to drum cradles in that they can also orient the barrels horizontally. These work by loading barrels in a vertical position, then leveraging them into the air after being secured with a cinch chain. Barrels can be transported horizontally or vertically.
