Description

Heavy Duty 55 Gallon Drum Cradle with Steel Wheels – 1,000 lb Capacity

Moving and pouring a full 55 gallon drum shouldn’t feel risky or unstable.

This 55 gallon steel drum cradle with steel wheels is built to give you control. It helps you mix, drain, move, and store heavy drums without lifting them by hand.

The frame is made from all-welded heavy angle steel. It’s built for strength and daily shop use. With a 1,000 lb capacity, it easily handles a full steel drum.

The retractable chime hook grabs the top rim of the drum. The lower “toes” slide under the bottom chime during loading. This two-point action lets you rock the drum into place instead of lifting it.

The oak handles extend from 43 1/2 inches to 64 inches. When extended, you get more leverage. That makes it easier to tip and balance a loaded drum. When you’re done, the handles retract for compact storage.

Steel rollers on the frame allow the drum to rotate in the horizontal position. That means easier mixing and controlled draining. You don’t need extra tools to turn the drum.

An exclusive skid-resister frame design helps prevent slipping while loading. This adds stability during the most critical part of use.

The four 4" x 1" inboard mounted steel wheels are protected inside the frame. This keeps the overall width narrow. It also protects the wheels from damage. The cradle moves smoothly over clean, smooth concrete floors.

This model ships knocked down in a box and requires assembly. Once assembled, it measures 22" high, 18 1/2" wide, and 64" long. Total weight is 59 lb.

If you handle steel drums regularly, this welded drum cradle gives you safer control and smoother movement.

Additional Description



This heavy duty drum cradle works well in warehouses, maintenance shops, and production areas.

You can roll a drum into place, rotate it for blending liquids, and drain into smaller containers without strain. The 22-inch height keeps the drum at a workable level.

Because the wheels are inboard, you can move the cradle through tighter aisles. When empty, it stores without taking up much space.

The loading method is simple:

Place the toes against the lower drum chime. Hook the top chime. Extend the handles. Step on the axle and pull back. The drum rocks into position in stages. Once all four wheels are down, retract the handles.

This design lowers strain on your back and reduces the need for extra lifting equipment.

If your floors are smooth concrete and chemical-free, the steel wheels provide durable rolling performance.
