Fully compliant circuits

Our qualified engineers install the lift circuits and ensure they’re fully compliant. We fit mandatory safety features and emergency stops on all of our drum handling equipment to keep you and your operators safe. Each power-clamp drum rotator has a clamp pressure gauge located on the rear panel, operators are able to monitor the clamp pressure during use to ensure the drum remains clamped securely in the head. Burst valves protect hydraulic circuits from pressure drops should a hose be damaged during use.

Powered drum clamp and forward rotation

If a large number of drums are being handled each day, our fully-powered model offers a great solution. Operators manoeuvre the unit up to the drum, clamp the pads securely around the circumference, lift and then tip the contents.  The powered functions save time along with reducing manual handling; as such, this is a popular drum tilter for high-throughput applications.

​Clamping pad designs

The flexible pads adapt to the contours of the drums and are able to accommodate a wide range of drum diameters from 280mm to 610mm. The power-clamp pads can be configured to allow drums to be removed from the corner of a pallet. Each gripping head can be tailored to suit your specific lifting application. When handling only 200- to 220-litre drums flexible pads are not required, in this instance, we can supply fixed radius pads with a rubber lining.

Controllable rear-wheel steering

Ackermann rear-wheel steering gives you maximum directional control when tipping drums into your process. The wheels are 160mm in diameter and contain two precision bearings, and we fit park brakes on all models. We can also provide you with custom leg configurations along with a power-drive option, should you need them.

Power clamp drum suitability

Our power-clamp unit is universal by design and is suitable for a wide range of drum types and sizes. The versatile clamping pads can be provided for handling drums with a diameter range of between 280mm and 610mm; the drum rotator can handle drums of up to 1000mm in height.

ATEX / UKEX-certified for gas and dust zones 1,2, 21 and 22

When explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist, we are able to supply ATEX and UKEX drum tipping equipment. Our pneumatic-hydraulic model can be certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments.  Each of our 'Ex' drum handlers is designed to ensure electrical continuity, a path to ground is always present. We supply a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity showing compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
