OverviewElectric drum lifter with integrated power clamp for handling steel, plastic and fibre drums from 50 to 220 litres. Designed for frequent industrial use, the unit enables safe powered lift, clamp and rotation for tipping and in-line processing with minimal manual intervention.
Key features- Electrical safety: compliant electrical circuits with emergency stop, removable key-switch isolator and silicone-booted control buttons.
- Hydraulic clamp with pressure gauge for monitoring clamp tension during lifts.
- Safe working load (SWL): 300 kg.
- Powered lift/lower, powered clamp and powered rotation; manual push/pull for transport.
- Two on-board 80 Ah batteries driving an electric-hydraulic pump plus a 230 V smart battery charger.
- Digital battery condition meter and accessible controls; emergency stop and removable key switch.
- 1500 mm standard lift/tipping height (example clearances: 1470 mm at 15° / 1400 mm at 30° for a 205 L drum).
- Flexible rubber clamping pads for drums Ø 280–600 mm; configurable to lift from pallet corner.
- Rear-wheel steering with low rolling resistance and foot-operated park brakes on both rear wheels.
- Capable of handling drums up to 1000 mm in height.
Benefits- Reduces manual handling risks and improves workplace safety.
- Speeds up drum handling cycles via powered functions.
- Adjustable configuration to suit different drum types and process layouts.
- Can pick from pallets; engineered for low maintenance and long service life.
Upgrades and options- Integrated load-cell weighing system with digital read-out (accuracy ±0.1 kg), battery powered.
- Stainless-steel (304) model for cleanrooms and GMP areas with vibratory-polished finish and plated hydraulic rams/chains.
- Alternate leg dimensions to straddle or fit specific pallet/machine footprints; bespoke leg drawings available.
- Telescopic dual-mast lift version for extended stroke (examples >2800 mm for taller tipping clearances).
- Electric drive option for powered transport over longer distances.
- ATEX-compatible pneumatic variant for zone 1/2/21/22 with anti-static components and Ex documentation.
