Drum Carts

Drum carts, also known as drum trucks or drum caddies, are specifically designed and constructed to carry barrel-shaped vessels safely and efficiency. You can use them for drums with capacities ranging from 15 gallons up to the industry-standard 55-gallon drum. Depending on the item, a drum cart can have two or wheels to enable one person to roll the container from one place to another.

Benefits of Using Drum Caddies in Your Facility

Drums used for industrial purposes often contain hazardous or toxic materials. Drum caddies offer a safer option for transporting barrels, which can minimize the risk of spills that could place your employees in danger. They can also assist in preventing back injuries when lifting fully-loaded containers. As it only requires one person to operate a drum cart, it can result in a reduction in labor costs and free up workers for other tasks. Rotating drums enable your employees to transfer contents more quickly and efficiently while helping to prevent the waste of materials due to accidental spilling.

Typical Applications for Drum Trucks

Any company that handles drums will likely need these valuable, functional pieces of equipment. Examples include chemical manufacturing and distribution, and liquid petroleum operations. They can also take the place of bigger, bulkier platform carts in facilities with limited room for maneuvering.
