How to Select the Right Below-Hook Drum Lifter for Your Drum

There is a below-hook lifter for almost any drum. The key is using the correct one. No one wants to drop a drum, with the associated damage, lost or contaminated product, environmental impact, and possible injuries.

Here's a basic guide. . .


To Lift an Upright Drum

  • If the drum may sway on the chain. . . such as at marine or construction sites, or if the drum has no upper rim to grip, you want support under the drum, as well as securing around it model 86 is the answer. There is also the stainless steel model 86-SS.

  • If you can lift your drum by gripping under the rim, and you want remote grab and release function Select model 90. Need it spark resistant or made of stainless steel. . .ok. There are also models sized for a 30-gallon drum, or for an 85-gallon overpack / salvage drum.

  • If you only have 55-gallon steel drums, and want place them inside a salvage drum or overpack, the narrow profile model 91 suits your application.

  • For one drum lifter that will handle rimmed plastic, steel or fiber drums, model 92 is ideal. And it allows you to place a drum into a salvage drum or overpack. Various versions of this drum lifter are available. . . even PailPRO model 92-5 designed just for a 5-gallon pail.

To Lift a Horizontal Drum

  • To lift a horizontal drum and place it on a cradle or onto a drum roller Use model 41. Note: To get a drum into horizontal position for lifting, we recommend model 160 4-Wheel Drum Truck.

  • And the most flexible of all allows you to lift an upright drum or a horizontal drum and set it down upright or in horizontal position - model 42 Drum Lift

Note: Each Morse drum lifter is load testedEvery Morse Drum Lifter is load tested at the factory at 125% of rated capacity as per American National Standard ASME B30.20 and a load test certificate is sent enclosed with each unit.
