Benefits of Our Drum Lifters & Bowl Tilting Equipment
Investing in our oil drum lifting equipment and similar handling devices will deliver both immediate and long-term advantages for you and your workforce including:
- Reduce workplace injuries – Avoid back strain, muscle fatigue, and crush injuries caused by manually lifting or manoeuvring heavy drums.
- Prevent spills and contamination – Our secure drum lift and tilt equipment allow for controlled pouring and handling, reducing product loss, hazardous spills and cross-contamination risks.
- Custom solutions – Tailored lifting solutions to match your specific drum handling requirements such as oil, cable and plastic drum lifting.
- Certified for hazardous environments – Ideal for industries dealing with flammable, toxic, or sensitive substances, our ATEX-rated lifters and precision clamping mechanisms ensure safe transport and controlled dispensing.
Custom Tooling for Specialist Drum Lift and Tilt Equipment
Understanding that every operation has unique challenges, we offer extensive customisation options for our drum handling equipment. These adaptable features ensure your drum lifters perfectly match your specific needs and working environment.
- Adjustable handles – These would allow operators of different heights and strengths to comfortably use the lifter without straining their back, shoulders, or arms.
- Powered assisted lifting – Integrating a motorised lift mechanism (electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic) would reduce the physical strain on workers by eliminating the need for manual effort to lift heavy drums.
- Quick release parts – Parts such as grips, hooks, or clamps that can be quickly replaced or cleaned without special tools would make maintenance easier and more time-efficient.
- Automatic drum alignment – Some drum lifters can include automatic drum centring and alignment systems, so your workers don’t have to manually adjust or position the drum while lifting.
- ATEX and IP-rated coating – In industries that involve chemicals or exposure to harsh environments, using corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel or specialised coatings) can ensure longevity and reduce maintenance costs.
Our team works closely with you to design and manufacture bespoke drum lifting equipment, ensuring seamless integration with your workflow. Get in touch today to discuss your custom lifting needs!

“The lifter Lift Safe supplied is excellent, both operators of the laying machine have said its works perfectly and saves a lot of heavy lifting sometimes with 2 people, as you will see from the photos the roll needs to be lifted to almost head height so previously it was a struggle, however with your lifter the job is much easier and safer now.”
