Drum Rollover Cradle

Product Code: DCR02

IN STOCK - AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT

Unique design/forklift unloading

Once you’ve rotated a drum, you can use forked equipment to go underneath the cradle and lift up, removing the drum from the cradle. This is ideal if you need to place drums into storage racking horizontally.

Stainless Steel Construction

This Drum Rollover Cradle is constructed in full stainless steel making it particularly suitable for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Stainless steel is far superior to other materials when it comes to corrosion resistance, and we design all of our units to last.

A operator approaches the barrel rollover cradle and loads a drum onto the base plate using a drum truck.

Safe drum loading

Make sure you use a safe and suitable drum lifter, such as our STS Universal Drum Trolley (pictured) or one of our STS drum lifters, to load your drum onto the base plate.

ATEX / UKEX-certified model for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 (optional)

Explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres require operators to use zoned ATEX / UKEX drum handling equipment. We provide fully-certificated drum stands for use in these hazardous areas. The DCR02-Ex is certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 areas. 

Each drum cradle is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to ground is always present.

We’ve designed our Drum Rollover Cradle to allow you to handle 55 gallon (205L) straight-sided drums. To keep operators safe, it’s important that you only handle 55 gallon drums with this product.
