Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drum mover and how does it work?
A drum mover is a piece of equipment designed to safely lift, transport, and sometimes rotate or pour heavy drums or barrels. Drum movers range from simple drum dollies (wheeled platforms) for rolling drums across a flat surface, to hydraulic drum trucks with lifting masts and gripping systems for lifting drums onto pallets or racks. Many drum movers are designed for use with 30-gallon or 55-gallon drums and may be manual, electric, or hydraulic in operation.
What types of drums can a drum mover handle?
Drum movers are built to handle various drum materials and sizes, including heavy fiber drums, steel drums, and plastic drums. Most standard drum movers accommodate 30-gallon and 55-gallon drums, but industrial models may support other sizes or custom shapes. Some drum movers also have features for hazardous and cleanroom environments.
Is it safe to move a filled 55-gallon drum with a drum mover?
Yes, drum movers are specifically designed for safety as a filled 55-gallon drum can weigh up to 500lbs (depending on contents). Using a drum mover with proper load capacity (check the weight limit, e.g., 550lbs) and secure gripping mechanisms reduces manual handling risk and prevents workplace injuries.
What safety procedures should I follow when using a drum mover?
Always check the drum mover’s weight capacity and stability before use.
Ensure the drum is properly gripped and balanced during lifting or moving.
Use equipment on flat, unobstructed surfaces.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Never attempt to lift or move drums manually if they are too heavy; always use the right drum handling equipment.
What’s the difference between a drum mover, drum lifter, and drum dolly?
Drum mover: General term for equipment that lifts, transports, or rotates drums.
Drum lifter: Typically refers to equipment designed to lift drums for stacking, loading, or palletizing using hydraulic, pneumatic, or manual systems.
Drum dolly: A basic, wheeled platform for rolling drums over short distances on flat surfaces, suitable for moving but not lifting or stacking.
