Hydraulic Drum Handler

The All-in-One Solution for Lifting, Moving, and Pouring Drums

In most industrial warehouses, handling heavy 210-liter drums is a daily challenge. However, relying on manual labor to tip and pour these drums is unsafe and inefficient. Therefore, the Hydraulic Drum Handler by Meeginz Industries is the ultimate productivity booster. Specifically designed for general industrial applications, this machine combines the functions of a pallet truck, a lifter, and a tilter into one robust unit.

Unlike standard trolleys that only move drums horizontally, this equipment allows a single operator to lift the drum to a significant height and rotate it 180 degrees. Consequently, you can easily dispense liquids into high hoppers, mixing vessels, or smaller containers without spilling a drop. Ultimately, by mechanizing this process, you eliminate the risk of back injuries and drastically reduce the time taken for chemical handling tasks.

Why Choose Our Hydraulic Drum Handler?

1. Maximum Operator Safety

Manual drum handling is the leading cause of industrial strain injuries. On the contrary, our hydraulic handler does all the heavy lifting. By utilizing a high-efficiency hydraulic pump, the operator can lift a 300kg drum with just a few strokes of the handle or a foot pedal. Furthermore, the drum is locked securely in a steel girdle. Thus, there is zero risk of the drum slipping or crushing the operator’s feet.

2. Precision Pouring Control

Dispensing expensive chemicals requires accuracy. Fortunately, our unit features a heavy-duty worm gear mechanism. This allows the operator to rotate the drum effortlessly and stop it at any angle. As a result, you can control the flow rate precisely, whether you are emptying the drum completely or just taking a sample.

3. Rugged Industrial Build

Factories are tough environments. Therefore, Meeginz Industries fabricates these handlers using heavy-gauge structural steel. Moreover, the entire unit is finished with a durable industrial powder coating. Consequently, it resists scratches, impacts, and minor chemical splashes, ensuring a long operational life even in rough conditions.

4. Versatile Application

One machine serves multiple purposes. Specifically, it can lift drums from the floor, transport them across the warehouse, and stack them onto pallets or racks. Additionally, the wide-straddle base design ensures stability. Hence, it is a versatile workhorse for any facility handling oil, paint, or resins.

Ideal Applications

• Paint & Ink Industries: Pouring pigments into high-speed mixers.

• Oil Depots: Stacking lubricant drums on racks.

• Chemical Warehouses: Transporting hazardous solvents safely.

• Waste Management: Dumping waste liquid into recycling vats.

• Automotive Plants: Refilling large coolant tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can this handle plastic drums? A: Standard models are optimized for steel drums. However, for plastic (HDPE) drums, we add a special rubberized grip or a bottom support plate to prevent the drum from slipping or deforming under pressure. Please specify your drum type when ordering.

Q: How high can it lift? A: Our standard model lifts up to 1600mm (1.6 meters). However, we can manufacture custom masts to reach heights up to 2.5 meters if you need to pour into tall reactor vessels.

Q: Is it easy to push? A: Yes. The unit runs on high-quality bearings and large nylon wheels. Therefore, it rolls smoothly on concrete floors. For uneven surfaces, we can install larger rubber wheels upon request.
