Features

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

Handle a wide range of drum sizes

Designed with versatility in mind, the unique STS drum catch can handle, among others, tight-head, open-top, L-ring and MAUSER-style drums with ease. To adjust the catch setting, operators adjust the position of the top hook. For lifting very unusual drums, such as plastic screw-top drums or bulbous plastic barrels, we can offer different attachments and adapters for our drum lifters.
