Drum Handling Equipment
Range of drum handling equipment, including lifters, tippers, trolleys, cradles, dispensers, de-palletisers and rotators for handling drums and barrels in every industrial environment. All STS handling equipment is available in stainless steel with ATEX compliant options.
We are experts in the design and manufacture of quality drum handling equipment. All products are manufactured in the UK enabling us to design and build the right piece of handling equipment that fulfils your specification.
We come from a background of having to handle drums ourselves so we know what problems operators have. Most companies selling drum handling equipment do not design or build it but buy in cheap equipment built to old fashion designs. Consequently these products will not enable you as an employer to comply with Manual Handling Regulations. Here at STS our drum handling units are thoroughly tested to meet these regulations.
We supply customers from a range of industries such as food, chemical and pharmaceutical areas. We have built up a reputation throughout these industries for developing the highest quality handling equipment available, a feat reflected in our impressive client portfolio.
STS first broke into the drum handling industry in 1999 with flagship unit the DTC01 Universal Drum Trolley. An award winning patented design recognised for its reduction of back injury in the workplace. This has now become the industry standard for all companies wishing to move drums whilst complying with regulations and keeping their operators safe.
STS has gone on to develop an extensive range of handling equipment in response to the demand from our customers to be able to lift, tip and handle drums safely. These range from radio-controlled drum tippers for Nirex waste and de-palletisers for offshore industries, to ATEX drum rotators for Zone 1 areas and stainless GMP drum handling equipment for pharmaceutical clean rooms.
