Drum Web 5585
It can lift drums up to 2,000 pounds and works with conventional machinery such as forklifts, cranes, and hoists. It also helps prevent injuries by holding lids, ring bolts, and retaining rings in place which could potentially become dangerous projectiles when drum contents become pressurized. Temperature changes, biological degradation, chemical reactions, or nuclear activity can cause drums to pressurize and has posed significant safety problems for personnel handling and opening drums in the chemical, nuclear and environmental industries.
The Drum Web 5585 fits open-top or closed-head drums and protects them from scratching. It is also spark resistant because only rubber contacts the drum surface. It weighs only 6.7 pounds, is installed and removed in seconds with minimal training, and offers numerous other technical benefits.
