Portable Drum Lifts & Transporters

Valley Craft’s Drum Lifts & Transporters, Barrel Hawks and Raptors, are the perfect solution to safely and ergonomically lift and maneuver drums throughout your facility. These units are ideal for picking and placing drums on/off pallets or spill containment platforms. Handle drums more efficiently while reducing worker fatigue and possible injury.

Three attachments options are available: beak, straps, or cylinder. The beak attachment is a spring-loaded hands-free chime hook that requires no manual manipulation of the drums by the operator. These units handle all styles (steel, plastic, and fiber) of drums up to 55 gallons and 24” in diameter. The strap attachment utilizes a dual ratchet strap design that is certain to secure your drums. This option is common for applications with drums that have damaged rims or when operators are wanting additional security. The straps work with all styles (steel, plastic, and fiber) and sizes of drums up to 55 gallons and between 14-24” in diameter. The cylinder attachment has an expanded height cradle and utilizes a dual ratchet strap design to secure cylinders and other tall containers. This unit works with cylinders 9-18” in diameter. With a 1,000 lb. load capacity, maneuvering your unit is made simple on the heavy duty wheel design (swivel rear, rigid front). Each unit has a versatile quick-release backplate that is compatible with additional attachments. You are able to purchase one base unit with additional attachments, and switch them out as needed.

Valley Craft’s Drum Lifts & Transporters, Barrel Hawks and Raptors, are constructed of heavy gauge steel and have a premium powder coat finish. Products are shipped fully assembled, ready-to-use, and made in the U.S.A.
