Valley Craft’s Manual Powered Drum Lifts and Rotators simplify the lifting and rotating of drums for easy transporting, placing, or dumping throughout your facility. Compatible with all drum styles (steel, plastic, and fiber), drum handling and maneuvering has never been easier.

Drum lift heights up to 84” (78” or 90” height models available) in less than 30 seconds, and a 360° continuous rotation in either direction provides versatility to fit your application. The included straps are compatible with drums ranging from 14-24” in diameter and secures them to the unit. With an 800 lb. capacity it is simple to maneuver on (4) casters ((2) 6” front rigid, and (2) 4” rear swivel). Designed as a standalone lift and rotator, forklift assistance is not required.

Both straddle and counter-weighted models are available to fit your needs. Standard straddle units have extended front legs that go under pallets/shelving or on the outside of the drums when being handled. Counter-weighted models improve handling with the ability to butt directly up to pallets, shelving, or other units without having to worry about extended straddle legs getting in the way. Note that counter-weighted units are heavier and require more force to maneuver. Foot pedal lifting and hand crank rotating encourage safe and ergonomic handling while ensuring your unit always has power. Optional floor locks are available (sold separately).

Valley Craft’s Manual Powered Drum Lifts and Rotators improve the safety and productivity of any facility that is lifting, rotating, and transporting drums. Constructed of heavy gauge steel with a premium powder coat paint finish in green, you can be confident these units are built to last. All products are shipped fully assembled, ready-to-use, and are made in the U.S.A.
