Before you can rent or lease any type of drum handling equipment, you need to know your purpose for the piece of equipment. What is it that you need for the drums in your facility? Are you looking for systems that will make it easier to move the barrels, or do you only need a place to store and stack the drums? Understand what you need and then find the drum systems and equipment that will help.

There are many different types of drum handling equipment available today including a range of drum trucks that can make it easier to move barrels by hand, along with ergonomic drum lifts and self-contained dumping drums. These work with electronics and hydraulics to grasp and lift the barrel to then dump the contents. There are also fork mounted drum handlers and dumpers, those that are mounted onto hoists, and even systems that can crush and compact a drum when it can no longer be used.

Do you have a business that requires proper storage, control, and transportation of materials in drums? Many different types of items are stored in this manner including beverages, food, a range of liquids, such as oil, or even metal items, such as nails. You want to make sure these items are handled safely, as they are far too heavy to be lifted by manpower alone. Therefore, having a quality drum handling system and equipment in place will be the best option for you, as it can make the work faster, easier, and safer.

Some of the companies manufacturing drum systems and equipment include Zorin Material Handling, Wesco, Vestil, and Dayton.
