Drum lifting hooks are high-strength for heavy loads, extreme temperatures, and abrasive environments that would damage or destroy lifting slings. Also known as barrel hooks, they have curved beveled ends that fit under drum chimes and create a tight grip between the drum and hooks when lifted. Vertical drum lifting hooks attach to the tops of drums, making them ideal for situations where drums are placed tightly together. Horizontal drum lifting hooks attach to the top and bottom chimes to move drums on their side. Typical uses for drum lifting hooks include machine shops, construction sites, foundries, and shipping yards.

Rotating and dispensing drum lifting hooks enable drums to turn 360° for controlled pouring and dumping of contents. They have frames that clamp tightly around the drum body and pivoting arms that attach to hooks on cranes and hoists to lift the drum. The frames have a manual pulley system that allows tilting and rotation of the drum once in the air.

Drum lifting slings provide better load control and cause less damage to drums than lifting hooks. Also known as barrel slings, these fabric straps are flexible and have wide-bearing surfaces and ratcheting mechanisms that tighten around drums to create secure grips that prevent shock loads. Slings are susceptible to cuts and tears and shouldn't be used in applications where they might come in contact with sharp edges, protrusions, or abrasive surfaces.

Drum lifting cradles for plastic and steel drums minimize wear on the drum and prevent them from tipping during transport. Also known as drum lifters with under-drum supports, they provide balance and support on all sides of the drum to keep them in their original orientation. They have frames that secure around the drum's body, platforms where the drum sits, and arms that attach to hooks on cranes and hoists. Typical uses include outdoor applications where the drum needs to stay upright or may encounter swaying from wind or shifting contents, such as construction sites, shipping ports, and production facilities.

Gas bottle slings cradle narrow bottles and cylinders to lift and position them with cranes, hoists, and forklifts. These slings are often used in welding and industrial operations where compressed gas cylinders are transported around jobsites or up several stories.

These adapters fit around 30 gal. drums to make them compatible with lifting products that work with 55 gal. drums.
