More about the DT400 Hydraulic Drum Handler

If you need to load, un-load or re-position drums on different sized pallets then you can do so quite easily with the DT400 drum handler. The straddle legs can be positioned around the edges of a pallet and the width can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes. The spans go from 720mm up to 1390mm (these measurements are taken from the centre of the legs).

The drum handler can handle loads up to 400kgs, and is ideal for transporting drums around your facility and loading onto or off pallets. Stacking drums can also be completed with the DT400. The maximum lifting height is 1070mm for this piece of drum handling equipment.

This hydraulic drum handling truck grips the drum from the top rim with a spring loaded jaw grab. There is a foot pedal/lever which is used for raising the chassis to the desired height. A joystick type lever is used to lower the drum back to the ground by turning it anti-clockwise.

The four castors make transportation easy and changing direction is smooth thanks to all 4 wheels being of the swivelling variety.
