Electric drum lifter STE01-DRU01

battery-poweredmanualhand crank

Overview
The STE01-DRU01 is a battery-powered electric drum rotator designed for safe lifting, transport and controlled tipping of steel, plastic and fibre drums up to a 350 kg safe working load. Self-contained and mobile, the unit reduces manual handling and is suitable for low- to medium-duty industrial production environments. Built and tested in the UK to high performance and safety standards.

Key features

• Electric push-button lift driven by a battery-powered hydraulic system for smooth, repeatable lifts.
• Universal stainless-steel band with adjustable segments to accept a wide range of drum diameters (350–600 mm).
• Adjustable rim-clamp system for secure handling; removable when using a fixed band for standard 200–220 L steel drums.
• Self-locking rotary gearbox (final ratio 120:1) — manual rotation handle standard; powered rotation available as an upgrade.
• Ackermann-style rear-wheel steering and park brakes for precise positioning and turning in confined production areas.
• Onboard 12 V power supply for optional accessories (weighing display, powered drive components).

Applications / Compatibility
Compatible with steel, plastic and fibreboard drums across common industrial sizes. The universal band plus rim-clamp covers most 50–220 L drums; a small-drum insert and fixed-diameter band are available for specialised or repeated single-size handling.

Upgrades & options

• Stainless-steel construction (AISI 304) with vibratory-polished finish and plated hydraulic rams for GMP / cleanroom environments.
• Integrated load-cell weighing system with digital readout (onboard 12 V) — accuracy +/-0.1 kg.
• Telescopic dual-mast lift option (telescopic models to ~2700 mm); standard single-mast ~1500 mm lift.
• Powered rotation (hydraulic motor replacing manual handle).
• Powered clamping via hydraulic ram with flexible pads for 50–220 L drums.
• Powered driving kit: 24 V drive wheel and electric tiller for movement over flat, level floors.
• Fixed-diameter band for rapid securing of 200–220 L drums.
• Small-drum insert for safe handling of drums under 50 L.

Product highlights

• Reduces manual lifting and tipping tasks to improve operator safety.
• Speeds operations with electric lift and optional powered features.
• Highly adjustable to handle multiple drum formats and lift scenarios (including pallet lift capability).
• Designed for low maintenance and long service life with modular upgrade options.
