15 Gallon Drum Cradle | Drum Cradle With 3 Inch Polyolefin Wheels | Free Ship

Moving and pouring small drums shouldn’t strain your back. This 15 gallon drum cradle with 3 inch polyolefin wheels gives you a safer way to handle steel or plastic drums up to 16 inches in diameter.

You don’t have to lift the drum onto the stand. The ergonomic two-stage rock-over design lets you tip the drum from upright to horizontal in a smooth motion. First, it pivots on the angled frame. Then it rolls onto the wheels at the same end. This controlled action reduces strain and helps prevent sudden drops.

Once in place, your drum sits in a steady horizontal position. The rim stays 13 3/4 inches above the floor. That height makes it easy to dispense into a standard 5-gallon steel pail. You can pour liquids without awkward bending or unstable setups.

The all-welded steel frame gives you long-term strength. There are no loose bolts to tighten. No parts shifting over time. It’s built as one solid unit, ready for shop floors, warehouses, maintenance areas, or production lines.

This cradle supports up to 500 pounds. It works with both steel and plastic drums, as long as the drum diameter does not exceed 16 inches. That makes it a practical solution for oils, chemicals, cleaners, and other liquid materials stored in smaller drums.

It rolls on four 3-inch by 1-inch polyolefin wheels. These wheels are chemically resistant and mounted outboard for better balance. That wider stance adds stability while moving or pouring. You get smoother rolling with less risk of tipping.

The frame measures 22 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 17 inches high. At about 18–20 pounds, it’s strong but still easy to reposition when needed. It ships ready to use via UPS. No assembly required.

If you handle 15-gallon drums and want safer pouring, easier positioning, and better control, this drum cradle is a simple upgrade that protects both your crew and your product.

Additional Description

This 15 gallon drum cradle works well in tight spaces where larger drum racks won’t fit. You can keep one near a mixing station, wash area, or maintenance bench. Because it’s compact, it doesn’t take up much floor space.

The polyolefin wheels resist many common shop chemicals. That matters in areas where oils or cleaners may drip. The wider wheel placement helps prevent side tipping when you roll the cradle across concrete floors.

Since it ships fully assembled, you can put it to work as soon as it arrives. Just position the cradle, rock the drum into place, and start dispensing. It’s a practical solution for operations that need steady, repeatable pouring without forklifts or drum handlers.
