Low operator effort

Our curved design and ergonomic handle heights minimise the amount of effort required to move and decant drums. You can comfortably orient drums weighing up to 300kg using an input force lower than 25kg.

Safe drum loading

Make sure you use a safe and suitable drum lifter, such as our STS Universal Drum Trolley (pictured) or one of our STS drum depalletisers, to load your drum onto the baseplate.

Unique design/forklift unloading

Once you’ve rotated a drum, you can use forked equipment to go underneath the cradle and lift up, removing the drum from the cradle. This is ideal if you need to place drums into storage racking horizontally.

Stainless-steel construction

We build this drum cradle in full stainless steel, making it particularly suitable for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Stainless steel is far superior to other materials when it comes to corrosion resistance, and we design all of our units to last.

Drum suitability

We’ve designed our Drum Rollover Cradle to allow you to handle 200-litre straight-sided drums. To keep operators safe, it’s important that you only handle 200-litre drums with this product. For details on the compatible drum types, see the drum suitability document by clicking the button below.

ATEX / UKEX-certified model for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 (optional)

Explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres require operators to use zoned ATEX / UKEX drum handling equipment. We provide fully-certificated drum stands for use in these hazardous areas. The DCR02-Ex is certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 areas.  Each drum cradle is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to ground is always present. We supply each piece of ATEX / UKEX drum lifting equipment with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
