Drum and Barrel Handling - Vacuum Lifters and Tippers

Drum lifters and barrel tippers from Palamatic provide a much needed lift assist to workers faced with manually manipulating heavy drums and barrels. By applying the principle of vacuum lifting to this manual handling problem the payload becomes almost weightless. A Palamatic vacuum lifter gives effortless control to a single worker to solve many barrel or drum manual handling problems. When product has to be poured into a process, minimal barrel spillage helps maintain good housekeeping. Palamatic's custom vacuum tooling designs allow the operation to be achieved easily using a drum tipping assembly which rotates about the drums centre of gravity - for a controlled drum pouring action. Rotation options include manually operated, hand-wheel and pneumatically powered. Palamatic offers a wide range of drum manipulating equipment for all industries – please visit the PalPharma website to see a wide variety of drum tipping options. Palamatic handling equipment enables effortless lifting of barrels from 20kg (44lb) to 300kg (660lb).
