Barrel lifters

Tipping and rolling barrels, whether alone or with the help of several colleagues, can pose a risk of injury as well as damage to the containers themselves. To ensure safe and comfortable handling of heavy and bulky barrels, special aids are required. With our high-quality drum lifters, drums and barrels of all types can be lifted and set down comfortably and safely. Many drum lifters are also suitable for securely rotating barrels. This is particularly practical if the containers need to be stored horizontally or need to be emptied.

2. Considering lift capacity and lift height

Similar to other transporting equipment, it is very important to observe the maximum load capacity of the manual drum lifter model you choose. The load capacity must not be exceeded in order to prevent the lifter from tipping over and to ensure the safety of employees. When choosing a barrel lifter for oil or other types of drums, lifting range is equally as important. The maximum lifting height varies depending on the model and determines whether the drums can be lifted, stored and moved at the desired height.

3. Hydraulic drum lifter with tiller or foot pedal

If you’re looking for a barrel lifter for occasional use, manually operated models with hydraulic drive systems are the best choice. You can choose from the following variants:

• A drum lifter with a tiller is a solid entry-level model with a smart operating concept for simple and efficient barrel transport with precise steering. The barrels are lifted to transport height with the tiller and can then be moved in a time- and energy-saving manner. The latching mechanism automatically engages with the upper rim of the drum to ensure for a secure hold during transport. The maximum lifting height of the models available from Jungheinrich PROFISHOP is 200mm.
• A drum lifter with a foot pedal enables the energy-saving and ergonomic lifting of heavy drums and is particularly suitable when it comes to handling pallets. You can choose between two lifter versions – either with wide arms for picking up pallets from the front or with a splayed front structure for approaching pallets from the corner. Models in our shop are available with a lifting height of up to 500mm.
