Safely and efficiently transport drums and barrels with drum handling equipment from Kingfisher Direct.

Managing drums and barrels requires specialised handling equipment to ensure safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Our comprehensive range of drum handling equipment is designed to address the challenges of lifting, moving, dispensing, and storing heavy, often hazardous containers.

Oil drums and barrels, typically with a capacity of up to 220 litres, pose significant manual handling risks. Improper handling can lead to:

• Workplace Injuries: Strains, sprains, and back injuries from attempting to lift or manoeuvre heavy drums manually.

• Spills and Hazards: Damage to drums during transit or tilting can cause costly, environmentally harmful oil and chemical spills.

• Reduced Efficiency: Slow and awkward manual handling processes reduce productivity and site efficiency. 

• Compliance Issues: Failure to adhere to health and safety regulations regarding safely moving and dispensing hazardous materials.

We offer a wide selection of high-quality barrel handling equipment tailored for every stage of oil drum management, including:

• Drum Lifters and Movers
  
  

• Drum Trolleys and Trucks: Designed for effortless manual transportation of drums across level surfaces. Available in various materials and wheel configurations to suit different environments.
  
  

• Forklift Drum Attachments: Secure mechanical or automatic gripping attachments that allow standard forklifts to safely lift, move, and stack drums without the need for manual intervention.
