Manual drum lifter DTP03-R500

hand-operatedhydraulically-operatedwith integrated hook

Overview
This manual drum lifter (model DTP03-R500) is designed to lift heavy drums off Euro pallets, straddle the narrow 800mm end of a pallet, lift a drum and transport it. The unit features a universal, adjustable drum catch and a hand-operated hydraulic pump for reliable, controlled lifting and lowering. Typical drum types accommodated include steel, plastic and fibreboard drums (including MAUSER drums).

Key features

• Straddle legs designed to go around the narrow 800mm wide end of a Euro pallet, allowing safe removal of drums from pallets.
• Universal adjustable drum catch in stainless steel to connect to a wide variety of drum lips; catch is height adjustable.
• Manual hydraulic lifting system: high-quality 17cc hand pump with hand-operated lowering valve for smooth, controlled descent.
• User-friendly operation requiring minimal training; low force required to operate (<10kg force indicated).
• Suitable for a wide range of drum sizes (50–220L) and drum materials (steel, plastic, fibreboard).
• Optional certified ATEX 'Ex' rated model for use in hazardous gas and dust zones (zones 1, 2, 21, 22).

Performance & usage notes
The lifter can straddle the 800mm side of a Euro pallet and lower drums to the floor or onto a drum dolly using the lowering handle. The universal catch is adjustable for different drum lips and positions to suit steel, plastic and fibreboard drums. The manual hydraulic pump simplifies operation while ensuring dependable performance.

Upgrades & options

• ATEX certified model for hazardous areas (maintains electrical continuity to ground; suitable for zones 1, 2, 21, 22).
• Integrated load-cell weighing system (rechargeable, battery-powered) with weighing accuracy of +/- 0.1kg.
• Push-button electric-hydraulic lift upgrade (battery powered) for higher throughput and reduced manual pumping.
• 304-grade stainless-steel construction option for clean environments (food, pharmaceutical) with plated hydraulic rams and pump protection.
• Alternative leg dimensions to suit bespoke facility or machine integration requirements.
• Bespoke attachments and adapters for uncommon drum types (e.g. screw-top drums) and increased lift-height variants for elevated loading/unloading.
