Troubleshooting

Drum will not clamp securely

Ensure the drum is centered within the clamp arms and that the securing clips are fully engaged. Check for any obstructions preventing a snug fit. Verify that the drum is a standard 205L size.

Lever mechanism is stiff or unresponsive

Inspect the lever and locking components for dirt or debris. Clean thoroughly and apply a suitable lubricant to the moving parts. If stiffness persists, check for any bent components.

Handler is unstable when moving

Ensure the castor brake is disengaged when moving. Ensure the drum is securely clamped and centered. For static use or tipping, engage the castor brake for maximum stability. Do not overload the handler beyond its intended capacity.

Drum difficult to tilt or rotate

Confirm the drum is correctly seated and clamped. Ensure the lever system is functioning correctly to allow for tilting. Some weight distribution may be required for easier rotation, especially with full drums.

  • Effortless drum maneuvering and draining capabilities.
  • Precise control over drum lifting and positioning.
  • Securely stabilizes drums in multiple orientations.
  • Facilitates easy mixing of drum contents.
  • Stable and easy to move with combination wheels and brake.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for 205L drums only.
  • Requires a minimum weight for optimal stability.
  • Manual adjustment can still require some physical effort for extreme angles.
  • The 50kg net weight means the unit itself is heavy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The drum handler typically arrives mostly assembled. Ensure all bolts and connections are secure before first use. Familiarize yourself with the lever mechanism and locking functions. Position the handler near the drum, align the clamp arms, and secure the drum using the provided clips.

Compatibility: This handler is specifically designed to accommodate standard 205-liter drums. It may not be compatible with drums of different dimensions or materials.

Care: Keep the handler clean and free of debris, especially around the wheels and castor. Regularly check the lever mechanism and locking components for smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts if they become stiff. Store in a dry environment when not in use. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
