OverviewWe have designed and manufactured this manual-hydraulic drum lifter dispenser to be suitable for decanting drums at low levels. The unit is fitted with a manual band assembly suitable for 120-220 litre drums. The manual crank handle allows the operator to rotate drums through 360° making it ideal for tipping from drum to drum or using a tap to dispense material.
Key product features- Drum rotator (DR) attachment: Designed for decanting 120–220 litre steel and plastic drums. Fitted with a contoured band with rubber blocks to reduce drum slippage. Drum is secured using a dual ratchet and strap arrangement. Available lift strokes: 500mm, 760mm and 1260mm.
- Sideways rotation: Fitted with a slew-ring gearbox assembly allowing drums to be rotated sideways using a long stainless steel crank handle. Counterbalanced design with a small footprint. Gearbox provides a high ratio so rotation requires low operator force; gearbox remains mechanically locked when not being turned.
- Ergonomic height: Lifts drums to ergonomic working height for scooping or decanting, reducing bending and risk of back injury.
- Chemical-resistant wheels: High-quality elasticated rubber wheels with precision bearings for harsh environments. Rear-wheel tiller steering provides a tight turning circle; recommended for smooth surfaces.
- Manual hydraulic pump: Hand-assembled hydraulic systems; 13cc hand-operated pump with lowering valve. Pump raises a hydraulic ram which lifts a carriage via a zinc-coated lift chain. Pump handle designed for minimal force and precise lowering control.
- ATEX / UKEX option (optional): Fully certified variants available for use in hazardous/explosive atmospheres (zones 1, 2, 21 and 22). Units supplied with Declaration of Conformity and meet relevant directives and standards.
Optional features- ATEX / UKEX option for zoned environments (zones 1, 2, 21, 22).
- 304-grade stainless-steel model suitable for clean rooms and GMP areas.
NotesManual rotation via crank handle allows fine control when decanting; drum compatibility includes steel, plastic and fibreboard drums (120–220 litres, including MAUSER drums). The unit is counterbalanced and designed to approach any flat side of a pallet (no legs in front of the lifter).
