Self-Propelled Drum Transporters & Drum Dumpers

Easy Lift Equipment Drum-Haulers

Drum-Haulers® make the task of handling plastic, fiber, and steel drums both safe and easy. Drum-Haulers are the most ergonomic units available for drum handling due to their wide range of configurations, which can be suited to fit your specific needs. Drum-Haulers are designed to work in tightly confined production areas and are completely counterbalanced, requiring no outriggers for stability, and are ideal for traveling over long distances. Most models, excluding forward rotation models, are designed to fit through a standard 30” (76 cm) wide x 84” (213 cm) high doorway. The large industrial battery provides enough power to run continuously for up to 16 hours on a single charge.

Standard Features and Specifications Included on All Models:

• Finish: Equipment comes standard with safety orange powder coating for durability.

• Drive Control: High-performance 3-phase AC drive motor.

• Speed Control: Electronic Speed Controller with variable forward and reverse speeds.

• Braking: Electro-mechanical disc which locks when the tiller handle is in a fully upright or lowered position and requires the tiller handle to be actively engaged to travel.

• Handle Controls: Dual thumb operated tiller handle provides superior control of forward and reverse direction. Depressing the reversing safety collision bumper on the tiller handle, when the equipment is traveling in reverse direction, will automatically stop and move the unit forward to help prevent injury. The tiller handle also contains lift and lower controls contained on both the top and bottom sides of the tiller handle, a horn button, and a turtle switch, which allows the Drum-Hauler to be moved while the tiller handle is in a fully upright position, as well as offer a creep function for precise positioning.

• Key Switch Display Assembly: Features a 2-inch display which includes a battery discharge indicator, hour-meter, and trouble code display. The Key on/off and red emergency stop switches are also included, which disable all functions when the key is in the off position, or removed, or when the red emergency switch in the engaged (pressed down) position.

• Battery: DEKA 12-D85-9 wet cell, 24-volt, 340 amp-hour industrial battery with SB-175 connector.

• Lift Cylinder: Provided with a hydraulic velocity fuse and adjustable flow control valve to regulate lowering speed.

• Wheels: 3” (7.6 cm) diameter x 4” (10.2 cm) wide articulating tandem polyurethane load wheels, 9” (22.9 cm) diameter x 2.75” (7 cm) wide rubber or polyurethane drive wheel, and 4” (10.2 cm) diameter x 1” (2.6 cm) wide stability casters on both sides to eliminate any side-to-side tilting.
