Flexible, Reliable and Ergonomic Drum Handler Solutions for all Needs and Industries
With an ergonomic 2Lift drum handler – barrel, vessel, and drum handling has never been easier.
Gone are the days of staff intensive drum lifting tasks that not only drain your budget, but also pose serious health threats to the ergonomic safety of your workers.
Today, the modern, innovative technology and design behind 2Lift‘s drum lifter solutions allow for the lifting and handling of a heavy drum or barrel to be carried out by one person only.
The only human force applied is that needed for pushing or pulling the wheeled drum lifter for transport, and that of simply pushing buttons with a finger on a handheld remote to control the drum handling itself.
All are tasks that are easy and safe to perform.
Different Industries, Different Regulations – Most Likely, We Have Been There and Done That!
When it comes to barrel lifting and drum handling, our customers come from a broad variety of industries characterized by as many different levels of rules and regulations.
Some industries are characterized by highly regulated working environments. Some are not. We can build a drum handler to meet all levels of regulations, even cleanroom requirements.
High industry regulations add extra dimensions of complexity to the design of the drum lifter in order to ensure that the cleaning and wiping down after use is as effective and optimal as possible. (Meeting such high drum lifter demands is our specialty. We are market leaders in designing, and manufacturing cleanroom lifting equipment not only for handling drums, but also for roll lifting equipment, pallet lifters and material lifting equipment for boxes.)
We have delivered countless standard, adapted, and customized drum lifter solutions to the following diversity of industries:
- Pharmaceutical
- Chemical
- Medical
- Food and Beverage
- Filtration
- Paint
- Cosmetics
Below you will find a non-exhaustive selection of our high quality and flexible drum lifters. All drum handler solutions are available in steel and stainless steel and may lift from 150 kg to 500 kg (including lifter tool):
Drum Lifter Solutions with Scissor Clamps
Almost all our drum lifters are equipped with clamps as end-effectors. The clamps are fitted with bands to ensure the most gentle, form adaptable contact to the barrel or drum.
What differentiates our drum lift solutions from each other is thus not the end-effector, but the lifting tool. The drum handler models below are designed with a scissor clamp, which is the ideal tool lifter solution for barrels of small to medium size and a weight of up to 100 kg.
Model ERU-EC: Electric Rotation Unit with Scissor Clamp
With this electric drum lifter solution the drum is gripped at the outer surface with clamps mounted on a scissor lifting tool.
This particular lifting tool allows the drum to rotate sideways, 360° and lifts up to 120 kg.
Model MCS: Manual Clamp with Spindle
This piece of drum handling equipment features a manual linear clamp ideal for lifting and transporting lighter loads.
Drum Handler Solutions with Linear Clamp
Drum and barrel lifters with linear clamp are able to perform much the same tasks as those lifters equipped with scissor clamps, except that their technology allows them to carry a heavier load.
Model ELC-ETU: Electric Linear Clamp with Electric Tipping Unit
This electric drum lift is fitted with a linear clamp which allows the lifter to lift heavy loads up to 350 kg.
This drum handling equipment is able to tip the drum forward 180°.
Model ERU-ELC: Electric Rotation Unit with Electric Linear Clamp
This drum lifter version is also equipped with a linear clamp which allows for a payload of up to 350 kg.
This drum handler is able to rotate sideways 180° in each direction.
Drum Handling Solutions with Platforms
Model ERU-MP: Electric Rotation Unit with Platform
This electric drum lift clamps the drum with no external pressure which is ideal for pressure-sensitive barrels and vessels.
To support the drum lifting process, bottom support in terms of a metal plate is added.
This drum lifter may rotate 90° in each direction to a horizontal position. Up to 300kg.
Model MP: Platform
The simplest of our drum handling solutions, the platform allows lifting of drums with a weight low enough for them to be slid manually on and off the platform. Up to 450kg.
