Straddle Leg Drum Truck for Safe Steel Drum Handling
The Straddle Leg Drum Truck (SLDT-684) is a practical and efficient solution for lifting, transporting and positioning 210-litre steel drums fitted with a top rim. Designed for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, workshops and industrial environments, this robust manual drum handling equipment enables a single operator to move heavy drums safely while reducing the physical effort associated with manual handling. Its straddle leg design allows the unit to easily approach and lift drums directly from Euro pallets, making loading and unloading operations faster and more efficient.
