Drum handling equipment secures and moves drums and barrels to dispense their contents, put them in storage, or transport them around job sites. Drum trucks and dollies have wheels and handles to manually transport drums. Drum lifting hooks and slings attach to cranes and forklifts to lift drums. Drum cradles and upenders tilt vertically-oriented drums on their side for dispensing and lift horizontally-oriented drums upright. Drum storage racks hold drums for storage and dispensing. Drum crushers and compactors compress damaged or unusable drums for disposal. Drum dumpers and stackers rotate drums to dispense their contents or lift them onto storage racks.
