We supply every type of drum handling equipment you can think of. Our range will lift and tip drums and barrels from 15 Kg to 500 Kg. We have full stainless steel GMP drum handling units for pharmaceutical clean rooms all the way through to remote control drum handling units for the nuclear industry. Roll handling equipment is also a big part of our range, as handling drums and barrels is a similar issue to handling rolls of film or paper. Customers need to lift and rotate rolls in different planes, off pallets and onto machines.
Drum Handling is a potentially dangerous activity if you do not use the correct drum handling equipment.
De-Palletising of drums
Drums are generally delivered to the customer on pallets. The first task is to get the drum off the pallet. STS have lots of different drum depalletisers.
You will need to tell us what pallet your drums arrive on and how many drums a day you need to handle. This will decide the shape of drum handling unit you require and whether you need a manual hydraulic or a power lift unit.
We also need to know what kind of environment the unit is going to be used in; if the area is a pharmaceutical clean room or if there is a corrosive atmosphere we would recommend a full stainless steel drum handling unit.
Also bare in mind if your area is Zoned you will need an ATEX certified drum-handling unit, this could be an Ex rated manual or pneumatic hydraulic drum handling unit.
Drum Trolleys
These are used for general movement of drums and barrels around a factory or for delivery. For this purpose we have our company’s flagship unit, the STS DTC01 Universal Drum Trolley. The STS drum trolley is a completely new concept in drum trolley design. The unit won STS the coveted BBC Tomorrow’s World Inventor’s of the Year 2000 award. This award was won because the drum trolley can pick up and move a 300Kg load with only 20Kg of effort. The judges recognized that the unit is the biggest advancement in drum trolley design in the past 50 years because the effort needed to move drums with the DTC01 is so low any operator, no matter how strong, can move drums safely.
If you have lots of containers to move long distances or up and down gradients we have powered drum handling units. These use on-board battery packs to power the lift and drive these units.
Drum Rotators
This is by far the most complex of the drum handling tasks; the range we offer is extensive. The STS DRU01 Universal Drum Rotator is our most popular model because it can lift and tip drums and barrels of either steel or plastic from 50 to 210 litres. When you have this unit you don’t have to worry which drums are supplied to you, as you know your operators have the correct drum rotator to do the job regardless.
We also have lots of specialist drum rotator units; you can pick any features you like i.e. power clamp, power rotate and full stainless steel construction.
The rotator units are fitted to one of our stacker units; again you can decide on the specification that best suits your drum lifting application.
STS was founded back in 1999 with a number of objectives and these objectives have all been achieved with the resulting range of unique drum handling, roll handing and materials handling products.
All the units in the STS range of handling equipment are:
