Workers still have to perform a lot of heavy lifting on a daily basis at industrial companies. Drums are conveniently picked up, tilted, rotated, and transported using a specialized lifting apparatus. This drum-moving machinery not only shields workers from harm physically but also improves workflow efficiency.
THE SMART WAY TO HANDLE AND TRANSPORT HEAVY DRUMS IS WITH ELECTRIC DRUM LIFTERS from HOVMAND
Businesses and industries that manufacture foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals must store a wide variety of barrels that are loaded with different liquids or powders. These drums need to be tilted and emptied into machinery or filling lines throughout the manufacturing processes.
Given that a barrel might weigh anywhere between 40 and 250 kilos, such procedures provide a significant barrier. Because of this, it is impossible to rely on physical labor without going against the rules for general health and safety. Lifting and moving big drums will have a lasting negative impact on the physical health of industrial personnel.
Thankfully, transport systems made exclusively for moving drums weighing up to 250 kg can protect workers while speeding up production. These drum lifters can carry out a variety of operations securely and effectively when used in conjunction with specific tools. A drum-lifter wagon will greatly simplify daily tasks whether you need to handle barrels and drums made of plastic, steel, or wood that are filled with wine, beer, or oil.
The practical method for handling and moving big drums is with electric drum lifters.
HOW TO LIFT AND TRANSPORT A DRUM SAFELY with HOVMAND
Different kinds of barrels are typically stored on pallets. You can underride these pallets with a mobile drum lifter, use an electric drum tong to grab the barrel, and then hoist it up. The user is not put through any physical strain during this process because a simple remote controls the gripping and lifting motions.
The entire process of grabbing, lifting, and transferring the drums is handled by the drum lifter. You can easily move the drum to its intended area after fastening it to the grabbing device. As a result, the lifter serves as a drum trolley, liftomat, and drum turner all at once.
AUTOMATED DRUM HANDLERS MAKE IT SIMPLE TO EMPTY BARRELS OVERHEAD
With automated drum handlers, emptying barrels overhead is no issue! On numerous occasions, it is necessary to empty the contents of the barrels into another machine overhead. But frequently, the available resources only provide a small amount of room for carrying out such activities.
A full barrel can be turned or tilted with the aid of a lifting equipment, such as an electric grabber or a drum lifter, which then allows the contents to fall from considerable heights. Drum cradles are terms used to describe devices used to tilt drums.
To move the drum to the necessary location before spilling its contents, you may underride the drum lifter or the drum cradle during such activities. For instance, turning and tilting a barrel into a drain pan is simple thanks to the characteristics incorporated in the drum-lifting equipment.
Drums are made of a variety of materials and sizes. Similar to this, various businesses must adhere to various safety and hygienic standards. You must follow extremely stringent guidelines for resource management while processing dangerous substances or medications.
The usage of stainless-steel barrels, whose contents may be treated in cleanrooms or hygienic facilities, is typically required by the relevant health and safety laws. Those drums need to be transported with extreme attention as well. Drum lifters and drum cradles manufactured completely of stainless steel are suitable for these uses.
