Drum Handling Equipment
Drum Dollies, Drum Cradles, and Drum Lifting Equipment
If you work around 55-gallon drums, you already know they're heavy, awkward, and not something you want your crew wrestling around by hand. Those drums often hold the lifeblood of an operation: the oils, chemicals, and raw materials that keep manufacturing lines running and machines humming. Moving them safely and efficiently isn't just about getting the job done. It's about keeping your people in one piece and your productivity where it ought to be.
That's where the right drum handling equipment comes in. At DC Graves, we carry a full lineup of drum movers, cradles, dollies, and storage systems built to handle the daily grind of an industrial setting. And like everything we sell, our 55-gallon drum handling equipment is proudly made in the USA.
Why Proper Drum Handling Matters
A full 55-gallon drum can weigh north of 500 pounds. Trying to muscle that around is a recipe for back injuries, spills, and damaged product. Good equipment takes the strain off your workers and the guesswork out of the job. Whether you're transporting, mixing, dispensing, or storing, having the right tool for the task keeps everything moving smoothly and safely.
What We Carry
We stock several types of drum handling gear so you can match the equipment to the way you actually work:
- Drum Dollies: For moving drums in the upright, vertical position, whether they're full or empty. We offer five standard models that handle drums ranging from 5 all the way up to 85 gallons. These are your go-to for quick, simple drum transport around the shop.
- Drum Cradles: When you need to tip a drum on its side for mixing, draining, or dispensing, a drum cradle is what you want. They hold drums horizontally and are mainly used with filled drums. We carry both economy and deluxe versions for 30 and 55 gallon steel drums.
- Drum Storage Racks: Stationary units built to keep your 55-gallon steel drums organized and off the floor. Choose from portable, modular, pre-configured, and pallet rack models depending on how much storage you need and how heavy duty the job is.
- Spill Containment Platforms: Steel platforms, carts, and dispensing stations that keep drums contained and your floors clean. Our heavy-duty steel construction outlasts the plastic alternatives, plain and simple.
