Drum Lifting Trolley

Handles a wide range of drums

The gripping catch features vertical adjustment and multiple hook positions, allowing it to connect to drums from 50 to 220 litres. Adjusting is simple: remove the pin, reposition the top hook, and replace the pin. We’re often asked if a separate plastic drum trolley is needed for MAUSER or L-Ring drums - but this universal model handles steel, plastic, and fibreboard drums with ease.

Vertical height adjustment

Drums come in varying heights depending on style and volume. The DTC01 Drum Trolley catch adjusts vertically via a spring-loaded mechanism that’s both intuitive and efficient. This clever design allows maximum flexibility when moving different drum types. Every catch is hand-assembled and tested by our engineers in our UK manufacturing plant.

Balanced load equals low effort

When you move the oil drum trolley into the deployed position, the wheels slide beneath the drum. By positioning the centre of gravity directly over the wheels, the unit provides ultimate stability and control when transporting drums. Manually moving heavy drums can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This workplace risk means that it is essential for companies to carry out detailed assessments of the risks undertaken by staff. The DTC01 has been proven to significantly reduce the effort it takes to move heavy drums.

Stainless-steel construction

We construct all of our Drum Trolleys from corrosion-resistant stainless steel in the UK. Thousands of our trolleys are used across the manual handling industry, many exposed to harsh environments. By using the finest construction materials, we make sure that your unit lasts a long time and continues to perform as a premium product. Many of our original trolleys manufactured in 1999 are still in use today and have received no replacement parts.

Universal drum compatibility

This oil Drum Trolley can handle a wide range of drum types including 200-litre (45-gallon) drums. For a breakdown of the drums with which this product is compatible, please see the drum suitability document below. If the drums you use aren’t in the document, contact us and we'll give you guidance.

ATEX-certified for gas and dust zones

We can provide a fully-certified ATEX drum trolley for use in hazardous work areas. Our DTC01-Ex is suitable for gas and dust classified spaces: Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22, where explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist.

The trolley is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to ground is always present. We supply our ATEX equipment with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity, which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
