Frequently Asked Questions
What is drum handling?
Drum handling refers to the process of safely and efficiently moving, lifting, stacking, transporting, and pouring contents from drums—typically steel, plastic, or fiber drums—using specialized equipment designed to securely grip and maneuver these heavy cylindrical containers.
What is a drum grab?
A drum grab is a mechanical attachment designed to securely clamp onto and lift drums, usually steel drums with a top rim or rolling hoops. It is often used with forklifts to allow quick, safe, and easy handling of drums from a vertical position. The grab grips the drum firmly under the rim so the operator does not need to leave the forklift cab during lifting or moving operations.
What types of drum handlers are available?
There are various types including forklift attachments, mobile drum handlers (manual or hydraulic), below-hook drum handlers (for cranes), drum rotators for mixing or pouring, and drum stackers. Each type is suited to different tasks such as lifting, moving, tilting, pouring, or stacking drums.
How do I choose the right drum handler for my application?
Choosing the right drum handler depends on factors such as the type and size of drums, frequency of use, type of movement needed (lifting, pouring, stacking), power source availability (manual, battery, electric, air), and special requirements like stainless steel construction for hygiene or spark resistance for hazardous environments.
Is drum handling equipment safe to use around hazardous materials?
Yes, specialized drum handling equipment comes in spark-resistant and corrosion-resistant models suitable for hazardous environments. Safety equipment and procedures are critical when handling leaking or hazardous drums to prevent spills, injuries, or accidents.
