Drum Dollies, Carts And Trucks – Your Options Explained

When storing drums, secondary containment is required by law. If you are likely to want to move more than one container at a time or think that due to the nature of your work, drums might be held temporarily on a movement device, a spill cart is a good option. Featuring an integrated sump base, it will collect any spills or leaks safely to minimise cross-contamination, slip hazards, and the use of spill response equipment.

If moving drums is not likely to be a major part of your work, but will still need to be carried out at some point, it is imperative that you use a truck or trolley that is purpose-built for that application. A simple, manually powered drum truck will provide safe movement whenever it’s required.

A good all-round option for moving and working with drums is the Poly-Dolly. With a simple, one-man operation, this clever piece of equipment will transport a drum to wherever it’s needed, and it can then be laid on its side for use as a dispensing station, eliminating the need to handle the drum twice. It features an internal sump for spillages and is incredibly easy to use.

All of Seton’s drum handling equipment meets or exceeds current legislation for both manual handling and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), so you can be certain that you are purchasing a quality product whichever option you choose.

What Are Drum Trolleys And Trucks?

Drum trolleys and trucks help you load and unload drums without needing to touch them. They also make these bulky items movable to streamline operations.

The HSE underpins the safe handling of any dangerous substance in line with the guidelines contained in the COSHH regulations. Storage and disposal measures play a pivotal role in this regard and include how you move your drums containing potentially dangerous materials.

Harmful substances can be present in anything from paints and cleaners to flour dust, solder fume, blood or waste. Ill health caused by these substances used at work is preventable. Many substances can harm health but, used properly, they almost never do.

What Are Drum Dollies Used For?

Drum dollies are used for the safe and speedy transport of barrels around your worksite. For example, use our versatile Poly-Dolly to safely transport and dispense drums without unnecessary handling. It:

  • Has a U-shaped barrel platform and double-looped strap for easy loading

How Do I Use A Drum Trolley?

Using a drum truck or trolley is a breeze. Simply push the oil drum trolley up against the barrel and slide the feet underneath it. If applicable, secure the top of the drum with the clips. Then, just tilt and adjust and you’re ready to go.

Seton’s 210-litre drum trolley makes short work of manoeuvring bulky barrels. Made from rugged, powder-coated tubular steel, this workhorse comes with easy-to-use, ergonomic handles. It also features an engaging hook for open-top and tight-head drums.

Yes, you can. Our top-quality forklift drum clamps, also known as a drum lifter forklift attachment or drum lifter for a forklift, are perfect for covering longer distances. These nifty gadgets:

  • Securely fit onto forklift arms
  • Use a mechanical grab to pick up, secure and transport drums without leaving the driving position

Choosing A Drum Truck

Moving drums filled with hazardous substances is a complicated and dangerous process. Your COSHH risk assessment spotlights your risks and the handling equipment needed to mitigate them.
Firstly, look at where your drums are stored. This indicates how far and through which terrain your trolley for a drum must travel.

Remember, your COSHH risk assessment must include the sizes of loads to be moved and the designated employees performing these tasks. Also, include action steps to minimise the number of trips to move drums.
