Drum band assembly

We supply our crane slung drum tippers with a fixed clamping band. The fast-acting over-centre clamp (shown in the image) is adjustable to allow drums from 580-600mm in diameter to be clamped (200- to 220-litre drums). Made out of stainless steel and manufactured in the UK, the securing system is extremely durable and robust.

Wireless weigh scale system

We have designed and manufactured this overhead drum tipper to include an integrated weighing system for use when lifting with a crane or overhead hoist. This load-cell feature allows operators to easily measure and control material flow with accuracy and confidence. Data logging via a computer system is possible making the unit very useful in modern factories and production facilities.  The load cell is housed within the top section of the DRU02 frame, therefore protecting it during use. We have developed this model to be completely fail-safe; in the highly unlikely event that the load cell fail or be damaged, the load remains secure thanks to the captive securing arrangement fitted below the crane hook. The wireless system utilises 2.4GHz radio waves, a transmitter sends weight data to a handheld receiver; PC connection kits are available for data logging purposes. The weigh scales have an accuracy of +/- 0.1kg and are fully ATEX / UKEX compliant.

Self-locking gearbox

Rotating drums by hand is easy when using our ergonomic gearbox with a ratio of 120:1. The gearbox assembly is made up of a 60:1 primary gearbox and 2:1 secondary 90-degree transfer gearbox. We use self-locking gearboxes to ensure drums never self-rotate when an operator lets go of the rotation handle. The folding gearbox handle can be tucked away when not in use to prevent it from catching on obstructions.

Large lifting pin and fork pockets

The crane slung drum tipper features two distinct pick-up points which makes it a great addition to any company with existing lifting equipment such as cranes and forklifts. The large central lifting pin allows for use with an overhead crane, derrick or hoist. The load-cell system is connected via the central lifting pin. Fork pockets are also included beneath the top bar for use with stackers and forklifts (these are not connected to the ATEX / UKEX weigh scale system).
