Features

Drawing on decades of industry experience, we have continuously refined our products to incorporate superior features.

Legs to straddle around a Euro pallet

Euro pallets measure 1200mm x 800mm in size. They are commonly used to move two 205L drums at a time. The DTP03 manual drum lifter straddles the narrow 800mm wide end of the pallet, allowing drums to be safely and efficiently removed from the pallet. Once drums have been removed from the pallet, they can be lowered down to the floor or onto a drum dolly by operating the lowering handle attached to the hydraulic pump.
