Custom 4-wheel drum truck
for moving oversize drum

For good reason, model 160 4-Wheel Drum Truck is our best selling drum truck. The innovative design provides extra safety, ease of use, and versatility.

With this ergonomic drum truck you can load and unload a heavy drum with ease and move a drum quickly and easily in narrow aisles. Even pour a drum into a 5-gallon pail. The four wheels fully support the drum's weight, so maneuvering is easy, it turns on a dime. . . and you don't have to support or balance the load.

What's the difference between a drum truck and a regular hand truck?

With a drum truck, you engage the upper drum rim and and pull the handle to tilt the drum toward you. Then the two "toes" of the drum truck fit under the curvature of your drum to support it from underneath. No need to tip the drum away from you to slide a base plate underneath. You can then move a drum onto and off pallets, and position a drum for dispensing. When you're done, the drum truck stands upright by itself for space saving storage.
