Electric or pneumatic powered models

Electric: Suitable for safe areas, this drum tipper comprises an onboard battery bank along with a hydraulic powerpack and drive motor. When the unit is not in use, simply connect the mains charger to ensure the unit remains in a fully-charged state at all times.

Pneumatic: Our pneumatic units can be certified for use in ATEX and UKEX areas. Operators connect an airline to power a pneumatic-hydraulic circuit, which powers the lift, clamp, rotation and drive of the unit. Precise drive control during maneuvering can be achieved through control hoses located inside the steering tiller.

Simple and easy to use system

The power drive system on this unit is powered via the rear of the unit using a steerable tiller. The speed of the drive is adjusted using throttles, and an anti-trap switch ensures the operator is kept safe during use. The control rear panel features a pressure gauge for monitoring the drum clamp pressure during lifting and handling operations.

50+ Drums per hour

Compatible with MAUSER drums

We understand that drums come in many different shapes and sizes. Our RRH01 clamping head assembly has been designed to handle UN-approved steel drums as well as many common types of plastic and fiberboard drums. 

 If we find an unusual drum that cannot be handled, we work with customers to design special adaptors or modified machines, ensuring the majority of drums can be handled safely.

>95% Drum compatibility

Versatile clamping pad design

The flexible pads adapt to the contours of the drums and can accommodate a wide range of drum diameters from 280mm to 600mm. The power-clamp pads can be configured to allow drums to be removed from the corner of a pallet. Each gripping head can be tailored to suit your specific lifting application. When handling only 53-58 gallon (200- to 220-liter) drums, flexible pads are not required; in this instance, we can supply fixed radius pads with a rubber lining.

13-58 gallon (50-220L) Drum sizes

Powered driving via electric drive wheel and tiller

When handling numerous drums or moving long distances, you may want to consider a power-driven model. A 12V drive wheel is controlled using an electric tiller and Curtis controller. The machine remains battery-powered, offering complete freedom to travel about your factory. The drive system is suitable for use on flat and level floors.

Handle a wide range of drum types

Designed to be as versatile as possible, this power-clamp model can handle a wide range of drum types and sizes. The clamping pads can be provided for handling drums and barrels with a diameter range of between 280mm and 610mm. The system has been designed to handle drums of up to 1000mm in height; this covers the majority of drum types used in the market.

Wired pendant controller (lift/rotation)

To help avoid spillages and to provide better visibility when decanting drums, we can install a wired pendant controller. This remote control allows operators to operate the lift/lower and tip/return functions whilst standing alongside the machine.

For safety, the pendant controller includes an additional emergency stop button that cuts all power to the machine if required.

Integrated load-cell weighing system

Weighing drums can be made easier with our integrated weigh scale system, accurate to +/- 0.1kg. This system streamlines operations by weighing drums while lifting them, eliminating the need for separate floor scales. This system improves efficiency and helps operators identify over- or under-filled drums early, ensuring smoother workflows and enhanced quality control.

Load Cell must be ordered with equipment, not available as an accessory.

Increased lift height for tall tanks and vessels

If you have tall tanks or vessels to decant your drums into, we can offer a telescopic version of our Stainless Steel Barrel Tipper. This telescopic dual-mast model has over 110” (2800mm) of lift stroke, offering enhanced tipping clearances. On request, our team can provide PDF drawings showing the lift heights and tipping clearances of the various models we offer. 

Alternative leg sizes available

When machinery integration is critical, we can modify the outrigger leg dimensions of our Stainless Steel Barrel Tippers to suit your work area. Whether that means making the legs wider to go around an obstruction or narrower to fit beneath a machine, we've got you covered. In addition, we always create PDF drawings for your team to review before manufacturing a custom model.

ATEX model for hazardous areas

We can offer a pneumatic-powered ATEX version of this model, suitable for use in zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments. This version uses a pneumatic airline to power the hydraulic system, ensuring safety in hazardous environments. 

 The ATEX version includes anti-static and conductive components as well as earthing chains that ensure static charges are dissipated to ground.
