Universal Drum Trolley

 

Award Winning Design DTC01 Universal Drum Trolley

This new drum trolley system works in a completely new way to existing drum trolleys. With this equipment you can move 300 kg drums and barrels easily and safely. The force required by the operator to move a full drum is less than 20kg. This means that the unit allows full compliance with the UK Manual Handling Regulations. Manufactured in full stainless steel the trolley has been well received in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and offshore industries with the ATEX compliant model becoming increasingly popular.

The DTC01 does not require the drum to be moved onto a footplate. To operate you simply push the trolley to the drum and attach the catch to the rim of the drum. The catch has variable settings to suit all different types of drums and barrels and can be adjusted up and down to suit different heights.

With the catch connected, push the footbar forwards and pull on the handles to lift the drum vertically and not inclined towards the operator. It can then be pushed along with the minimum of effort and without the operator taking the weight of the load against the body. If you let go of the trolley while you are transporting a drum the trolley will place the drum back on the ground vertically.

STS won BBC Tomorrows World Inventors of the Year 2000 for designing a trolley that helps avoid back injury. The DTC01 Trolley received a Product Innovation Award at the Safety & Health Expo in 2001.
