Drum Pallet Trucks

Move and position drums more efficiently with drum pallet trucks from Material Flow. Designed specifically for handling drums and other cylindrical loads, these specialty pallet trucks provide a practical alternative to conventional pallet jacks when standard straight forks cannot properly engage or support the load.  Drum pallet trucks and drum pallet jacks are useful in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, chemical processing operations, maintenance departments, production areas, and other industrial environments where drums must be moved regularly. Specialized fork and frame configurations allow the truck to approach and handle drums while providing the mobility and hydraulic lifting action associated with a manual pallet truck.  Depending on the model, drum pallet trucks may feature contoured or specialized forks, hydraulic lifting systems, durable steel construction, ergonomic steering handles, load and steering wheels, and different capacities or service ranges. Designs vary, so compatibility with the drum size, type, and handling application should be confirmed before selecting equipment.  When choosing a drum pallet truck, consider the drum diameter and dimensions, drum material, load weight, rated truck capacity, fork or frame configuration, minimum and maximum lift height, wheel material, operating surface, aisle space, and frequency of use. Also consider whether the application requires simply transporting drums or additional functions such as lifting, rotating, tilting, pouring, or stacking.  Material Flow offers drum pallet trucks and related drum handling equipment for moving drums safely and efficiently throughout warehouse, manufacturing, maintenance, and industrial operations.
