DRUM TRUCK (UNIVERSAL)

Product Code: DTC01

This Universal Drum Truck is an award winning product, suitable for handling drum and barrels from 13 to 55 gallons. This drum mover is constructed in 304-grade stainless steel. The drum truck is fitted with an adjustable catch allowing it to move different drums and barrels including steel, XL rings, plastic and MAUSER drums.

In the deployed position, the oil drum truck wheels slide beneath the drum effortlessly. By positioning the centre of gravity directly over the wheels, the force needed to move a drum is very low and ergonomic. This design feature was first developed by STS in the UK and has been a huge success globally.

The DTC01 does not require the drum to be moved onto a footplate. To operate you simply push the trolley to the drum and attach the catch to the top edge/rim of the drum. The catch has variable settings to suit all different types of drums and barrels and can be adjusted up and down to suit different drum heights.

The drum trolley can be pushed along with the minimum of effort and without the operator taking the weight of the load against the body. Manufactured wholly in stainless steel the drum trolley has been well received in food, chemical, offshore and pharmaceutical industries with the ATEX compliant options becoming increasingly necessary.
