The type of lifting equipment you choose will be based on a number of factors; firstly the type of drum needs to be distinguished as some drum lifters can only handle 1 specific type, some can handle different varieties. Steel drums and plastic drums are the most commonly used types but there are also the Mauser/egg shaped drum and fibre drums to consider. The size of the drum must also be considered as well as its weight when full as different products have different safe working loads and size restrictions. Another point to think about is the way you want to lift the drum as some drum lifters will lift the drum by the rim/lip, whilst others lift by clamping around the body, both of these types have models for vertical or horizontal lifting; some more specialist types can rotate the drum such as the Contact DTR, DTR-DS or DTRU drum lifters, these have both hook suspension or can be fitted to a fork lift truck for added versatility.
