Easily lift 55-gallon drums on top of each other for storage using commercial drum movers.

If you store 55 gallon drums at your place of business and rotate stock frequently, there are a number of different ways to maximize efficiency within your drum storage area. One such method is the use of oil drum racks.

These specialized drum storage solutions allow 55-gallon drums to be stacked vertically on top of each other which is ideal for non reactive and inert liquids. This frees up valuable floor space and increases your storage capacity. You can also store drums horizontally on specially designed stacking shelves. Horizontal orientation is better for liquids that you do not want to have stacked directly one on top of the other. Which ever option you choose for your drum storage solution, using the proper drum movers to get drums into their final position is essential if you are to avoid doing damage to systems or causing accidental spillages.

Do you handle drums with your forklift?
The Easy Rack fork mounted drum positioning system attaches directly onto the standard forks of a forklift truck, and allows for moving drums up to 800 pounds in weight to be lifted and put into place. This drum mover uses an ingenious system to tilt the drum through 90 degrees so that it can be laid flat on a shelving unit. The smoothness of operation that this system offers, coupled with the precise positioning possible with a well trained operator means that you will be able to stack oil drums effectively in place with little risk.

Are there more than one type of drum movers?
There a number of different drum movers that have been created in order to lift drums on top of each other for stacked storage. These drum lifters clip onto the top of the barrel and can lift it into place while holding it securely. The device hooks against the drum, and uses the weight and shape of the oil drum to hold the lifter into place.
