Drum Tippers

What are Drum Tippers?

Drum tippers are specialised handling devices designed to lift, tilt, and pour the contents of drums safely. Typically constructed from heavy-duty steel or reinforced materials, drum tippers provide a stable and secure platform for handling heavy drums without manual strain.

Drum tippers often feature adjustable gripping mechanisms, locking systems, and tilt controls to ensure precise and safe handling. Some models are manually operated, while others integrate with forklifts or hoists for more efficient lifting. Drum tippers can accommodate various drum sizes and types, including steel and plastic drums, making them versatile for a wide range of industrial applications.

For facilities looking for a broader range of drum handling equipment, drum tippers are often used alongside drum lifters, tilters, and rotators to create a complete and efficient handling system.

 

Benefits of Drum Tippers

Investing in drum tippers offers numerous advantages for businesses that regularly handle heavy drums:

• Enhanced Safety – Enclosed grips and tilt controls minimise the risk of accidents, spills, and workplace injuries.

• Improved Efficiency & Productivity – Streamlines lifting, tilting, and pouring processes, saving time and reducing labour costs.

• Durable and Reliable – Built from heavy-duty steel or reinforced materials, designed for long-term industrial use.

• Reduced Workplace Strain – Minimises physical effort, preventing fatigue and injury for staff.

• Flexible and Adaptable – Available in different sizes, capacities, and models to suit various drum types and operational requirements.

• Forklift Compatibility – Many units integrate with forklifts or hoists, enabling safe and controlled drum movement. Businesses may also consider forklift drum handling solutions for more demanding applications.

• Cost-Effective Value – Protects valuable materials, reduces spills or losses, and enhances overall operational efficiency.

Drum tippers provide a safe, controlled, and efficient solution for managing drums in industrial workplaces.

For specialised tasks, equipment like drum lifting slings, clamps and tongs, drum tilters or drum rotators can complement the use of drum tippers.

 

Industries and Applications

Drum tippers are widely used across industries where safe and controlled handling of drums is essential. Common applications include:

• Warehouses and Distribution Centres – Facilitates the safe movement and emptying of bulk liquids or powders stored in drums.

• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plants – Handles hazardous or sensitive materials safely, reducing the risk of spills and contamination.

• Manufacturing Facilities – Moves raw materials or products stored in drums to production lines with precision.

• Food and Beverage Industry – Enables safe pouring of syrups, oils, or other ingredients stored in drums.

• Automotive and Industrial Settings – Provides controlled handling for lubricants, paints, or other industrial fluids stored in drums.

Facilities may also integrate drum trolleys and lifters for mobile use or drum racking for safe, static storage.

By providing secure, controlled, and efficient handling, drum tippers help businesses protect materials, maintain safety, and improve workflow.

 

Why Invest in Drum Tippers?

Manual drum handling is not only inefficient but also dangerous, often resulting in injuries, spills, or costly product damage. Drum tippers eliminate these risks by introducing safe, controlled, and reliable handling methods. For employees, they reduce physical strain and create a safer working environment.

For businesses, they increase productivity, protect valuable stock, and cut long-term costs associated with accidents and wastage. In short, drum tippers are a smart investment that delivers safety, efficiency, and measurable ROI.

Companies working with hazardous substances may also benefit from drum storage and bunding solutions to ensure compliance and spill protection.
