Side Shift Drum Depalletiser
The Drum Depalletiser is specially designed for moving drums and barrels from any position on a pallet. It uses a sliding side-shift arrangement allowing it to even be used for moving containers and drums placed in the centre of a pallet. The depalletiser straddles the pallet and only requires access to one side, thus allowing pallets in confined areas to be kept against the wall even when unloading. When moving the drum onto another pallet, scales or the floor, the drum can also be moved to either side using the side-shift arrangement.
- This unique design side shift drum depalletiser can pickup drums from any position on the pallet, skid or bund - straddles beside and over the pallet
- Suitable for both steel and plastic drums
- The operator requires only 12kg of force on the handle to lift a 300kg drum

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Side Shift Drum Palletiser used for?
The Side Shift Drum Palletiser is used for lifting, positioning, and palletising industrial drums with improved lateral placement control. It suits operations where accurate drum alignment is important during storage, loading, or production workflows.
2. How does the side shift function improve drum handling workflows?
The side shift function allows operators to adjust drum positioning laterally without constantly repositioning the entire forklift or handling equipment. This improves placement accuracy, reduces unnecessary manoeuvring, and supports more efficient workflow sequencing in confined or structured handling areas.
3. Is the Side Shift Drum Palletiser suitable for high-frequency industrial operations?
Yes, the Side Shift Drum Palletiser suits warehouses, manufacturing facilities, chemical operations, logistics environments, and processing plants where drums are palletised or repositioned regularly throughout the day. It supports faster and more controlled handling than standard manual positioning methods.
4. Can the Side Shift Drum Palletiser improve workplace safety?
Yes, the Side Shift Drum Palletiser reduces manual handling involvement and supports more stable drum positioning during palletising tasks. Businesses should still ensure operator training, forklift compatibility, and site handling procedures align with workplace safety requirements.
5. Why choose the Side Shift Drum Palletiser instead of standard drum handling equipment?
The Side Shift Drum Palletiser provides greater positioning precision and workflow control than basic drum lifting equipment without side adjustment capability. This helps businesses improve handling efficiency while reducing repositioning time during repetitive drum placement tasks.
Side Shift Drum Palletiser for Precise Drum Positioning
Repositioning drums manually or constantly adjusting forklift alignment slows palletising workflows, increases handling risk, and creates unnecessary operational delays. The Side Shift Drum Palletiser provides a safer and more efficient solution for lifting, positioning, and palletising drums with improved lateral movement control.
Why the Side Shift Function Improves Workflow Efficiency
The integrated side shift capability allows operators to fine-tune drum placement during palletising and storage tasks without repeated forklift repositioning. This improves handling accuracy while reducing unnecessary manoeuvring within confined warehouse aisles, production spaces, and loading zones.
Built for Industrial Drum Handling Operations
In warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics operations, and chemical handling facilities, drums often require accurate positioning during storage and transport preparation. The Side Shift Drum Palletiser integrates directly into structured handling workflows, helping businesses improve placement efficiency and operational consistency throughout industrial environments.
A Smarter Alternative to Standard Drum Placement Methods
Compared with manual positioning methods or standard drum handling equipment without side shift capability, the Side Shift Drum Palletiser improves placement control and workflow sequencing. Businesses benefit from reduced handling disruption, safer drum movement, and more consistent palletising performance.
