Drum Handling Equipment for Industrial Applications
Drum handling equipment is specially designed to make the movement and positioning of industrial drums easier, more controlled and more efficient. Drums containing oil, lubricants, chemicals, paints, liquids and other industrial materials can be difficult to move manually because of their cylindrical shape and considerable weight.

Frequently Asked Questions – Drum Handling Equipment
What is drum handling equipment?
Drum handling equipment is specialized material-handling equipment used for lifting, moving, transporting, positioning, stacking, rotating or tilting industrial drums. Common equipment includes drum lifters, drum trolleys, drum trucks, drum stackers and drum tilters.
What is a drum lifter used for?
A drum lifter is used to grip and lift drums for transportation and positioning. Depending on its design, it can be used to move drums from the floor, pallets or storage locations to another working position.
What is the difference between a drum trolley and a drum lifter?
A drum trolley is primarily designed to move drums horizontally across a workplace, while a drum lifter is designed for lifting and positioning drums. Some drum handling machines combine both lifting and transportation functions.
What is a drum stacker?
A drum stacker is material-handling equipment designed to lift drums vertically and position them at a required height. It can be used in warehouses, storage facilities and production environments.
What is a drum tilter?
A drum tilter is equipment designed to lift and tilt a drum into a controlled position. It is commonly used for applications involving draining, dispensing, emptying or transferring drum contents.
What is a drum lifter cum tilter?
A drum lifter cum tilter combines lifting and tilting functions in one machine. It can be useful when a drum needs to be raised from the floor and then tilted or rotated for controlled dispensing.
Can drum handling equipment be used for steel drums?
Yes. Many drum handling machines are specifically designed for steel drums, although compatibility depends on the gripping mechanism, drum dimensions and equipment specifications.
Can drum handling equipment handle plastic drums?
Some equipment is suitable for plastic drums, but compatibility must be confirmed before use. Steel and plastic drums can have different shapes, rims and structural characteristics, so the gripping system should be suitable for the particular drum.
What industries use drum handling equipment?
Drum handling equipment is commonly used in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, chemical processing, petrochemical operations, oil and lubricant handling, pharmaceutical operations, food and beverage facilities, agriculture and workshops.
How do I choose the right drum handling equipment?
Consider the drum weight, drum type, drum dimensions, required lifting height, movement requirements, operating space and frequency of use. Steerx can help determine the appropriate equipment based on your application.
What drum handling equipment is suitable for transporting drums?
For horizontal transportation, a drum trolley or drum truck is generally designed for this type of application. For applications that also require lifting, a drum lifter or combined lifting and transportation unit may be more suitable.
What equipment should I use to lift drums onto a pallet?
A drum lifter, drum stacker or suitable drum handling attachment may be used depending on the pallet configuration, drum weight and required lifting height. The equipment must be rated for the actual load.
Can a drum lifter be used for chemical drums?
Potentially, yes, provided the equipment is specifically suitable for the drum and working environment. For hazardous, flammable or corrosive materials, equipment selection should consider the material properties and applicable workplace safety requirements.
