Tall Drum Mover (Side-Shift)

A modified version of our best-selling Drum Mover, designed to offer greater lift height for specialised applications.

Background

Our Drum Mover (Side-Shift) has earned its place as one of our most trusted and widely-used drum lifting solutions. Designed to make pallet loading and unloading simple and safe, its side-shift feature allows operators to place drums with precision, improving workflow and helping to maximise the available production space.

This model allows for safe barrel handling from pallet to floor.

Tall version offering a greater lifting height

In response to specific customer requirements, our in-house engineering team developed a taller version of the standard model. While the original Drum Mover lifts drums up to 420mm from the ground, the new tall version increases this lift clearance to 680mm. This added height is ideal for applications that require drums to be raised onto bunds, elevated platforms, or machinery.

Crucially, the increase in height does not affect the unit’s footprint or ease of use. We achieved the additional lift by extending the lifter body and adapting the internal lift mechanism, ensuring it remains compact and manoeuvrable in tight industrial environments.
