We can integrate a heavy-duty weigh scale into all of our drum lifter models. A heavy-duty 2000kg load cell is fitted between the lift carriage and the head assembly to measure the weight of the drum and its contents. The load cell is designed to be very robust for use in industrial environments. The display is to the rear of the unit and includes weighing features such as zero, tare, etc. The weigh scale system is accurate to +/- 0.1kg making it great for batch production and quantity-sensitive operations.
We fabricate this catch from 304-grade stainless steel using precision laser-cut parts. You can easily adjust the catch to connect securely to drums of different types, sizes, and materials. For a breakdown of the barrels that are compatible with this product, please see the drum suitability document below.
The ladder rack at the front of the lifter enables you to move the drum gripper up and down to different levels to cater to a variety of drum heights; position the catch lower for shorter drums and higher for taller ones. See the technical specification below for a full breakdown of the barrels that are compatible with this product. Our side-shift function is unique: sixteen precision bearings allow you to smoothly slide the central lifter left and right, so accessing the whole pallet is simple and straightforward. Once secured, you can move the barrel mover over the pallet to pick up the container. When lowering a barrel to the floor, the side-shift function gives you precise control, reducing placement gaps between drums.
We fit only the highest quality UK-made pumps to our barrel movers. The pump is easy to operate, operators simply pump the handle to raise the load and then turn a precision valve to lower drums to the ground or onto pallets. Each lift system is assembled by hand in our factory ensuring circuits are clean, reliable, and long-lasting. Our team of engineers tests and inspects every pump during the manufacturing process ensuring zero defects.
To ensure this product performs in all conditions, we source high-quality polyurethane wheels. We also use precision bearings which offer premium wheel performance in harsh work environments. In order to get the most out of this unit we recommend you use it on smooth level ground.
The DTP04 Side-Shift Barrel Mover can handle a wide range of barrel types and sizes – this is especially useful where products come into your factory from lots of different suppliers. For a breakdown of the barrels with which this product is compatible, please see the drum suitability document below. If the drums you use aren’t in the specification, contact us.
Within certain industries explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist, these areas are classified as ATEX / UKEX. We provide fully-certified 'Ex' rated barrel movers for use in these hazardous areas. Our DTP04-R500-1250-LC-Ex Side Shift Drum Mover with Weigh Scale is suitable for gas and dust classified spaces: Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22. The drum mover is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to the ground is always present. We supply our ATEX / UKEX units with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which demonstrates compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
