Fixed drum band

The fast-acting over-centre clamp 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. If you handle drums of varying sizes, we also supply an Overhead Drum Rotator, which is designed with a universal band, accommodating drums from as small as 50 litres right up to 220 litres.

Rim-clamp securing system

Our unique rim-locking device attaches to the upper lip of the drum to prevent drum slippage in the band assembly. MAUSER drums and other plastic drums require the use of this device to hold the drums securely. The device is not required when handling 200-litre steel drums as they can be gripped with just the rubber-lined band around the drum circumference.

Self-locking gearbox
