Drum & Barrel Dispensing Cradle

Product Code: DCR01

Our drum cradles offer a safe ergonomic way to turn 55 gallon drums from the vertical to the horizontal. The drum cradle is ideal for decanting 55 gallon drums into smaller vessels of up to 13 ¾ inches in height; braked castors and handle storage in the base prevents the cradle from tipping.

The drum or barrel is loaded onto the footplate using either the DTC01 or drum lifter unit or forklift truck. The drum cradle requires an operator input of less than 55 pounds. The unique geometry of these cradles is what makes them easy to use. They are not like any cradle you have used before.
