Using leverage and engineered geometry, our drum dispenser can significantly reduce the amount of effort you need to use to move and decant drums. You can orient drums weighing up to 300kg ergonomically, with an input load below 25kg.

Safe drum loading
Safe drum loading
Load your drum onto the baseplate of the drum dispenser using our Universal Drum Trolley (pictured), an STS drum lifter, or another suitable and safe drum dispenser. Once you’ve loaded the cradle, use the stainless-steel chain to secure the drum in place.
Decant height of 350mm
Decant height of 350mm
Our drum decanting units offer great solutions for emptying drums into smaller vessels. If you need to empty an entire drum into a process then it may be better to take a look at our universal drum rotators, which offer far greater decanting heights.
Handle storage
Handle storage
Use the unit’s handle to turn the drum 90° from vertical to horizontal and vice versa. When the drum is in the decanting position, you can remove the handle and place it on the other end of the cradle using the locking pin. This allows you to move the unit around with the drum in the decanting position.
Stainless-steel construction
Stainless-steel construction
We manufacture this drum cradle in full stainless steel, making it particularly suitable for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Stainless steel is far superior to other materials when it comes to corrosion resistance; we design our drum handling equipment to last.
Braked castors for parking
Braked castors for parking
Our customers often keep these drum dispenser cradles in a specific location where staff go to decant small amounts of material. Our braked castors ensure that the drum and cradle stay static and stable when you’re using them.
