Description
Our overhead Drum Rotators can accommodate drums from 50 litres to 220 litres easily, whether steel, plastic or fibre ones. One of its main features would be a second securing method called the rim locking device which allows the operator to safely handle a wide range of drums effectively. Its stainless steel band enables easily operating drums in different sizes while another cutting edge feature, its sliding pivot which can be mounted to the clamping band allows to quickly adjust the diameter of the band to manage drums in any given size from 50 t0 220 litres.
