DRUM LIFTER (COUNTERBALANCE)

Product Code: DTP08-R500

Operator lifts HDPE plastic barrel using the Drum Lifter (Counterbalance)

This Counterbalanced Drum Lifter has counterweight in the box at the back of the unit to offset the weight of the drum. The counterweight allows the unit to be used for lifting drums and barrels without the need for support legs in front of the lifter. These drum lifters are generally used for taking drums off pallets and lifting them on to containment bunds or dispensing machines that have no access for wheels to go around or under them.
