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.
