Drum & Barrel Handling

When it comes to handling drums and barrel lifting equipment, we have a range of products to help make it a one person task and reduce manual handling lifting strains and injuries.

Watch our solutions

Lightweight & Manoeuvrable

If you require a lightweight manoeuvrable solution to assist with moving drums or barrels over a distance, or in a confined space, our Pronomic lifting trolleys are ideal. Our Pronomic Squeeze & Turn lifting trolley has a maximum lifting capacity of 110kg.

Using “Squeeze & Turn” technology, an electrical clamp and rotate module squeezes from the outside to lift and rotate with a complete 360-degree manipulation. The modular concept means the Pronomic trolley can be adapted to meet the operator’s requirements in whatever the industry or environment such as; food and drink manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, processing, manufacturing, distribution, and many more.

Fixed Environment

For a repetitive process in a fixed location or where equipment is unable to be floor-based, we have our Movomech overhead lifting solution.

The Mechlift Pro industrial manipulator is a versatile moment absorbing lifter with a capacity for lifting loads from 75kg to 650kg. It is a versatile unit, can be either pneumatic or electric, and can be fitted with a range of attachments or end effectors including rotation tools. End effectors can either be selected from the extensive standard range, or they can be designed and manufactured specifically for an individual customer or application at our factory in Peterborough.
