The Roto-Lift power drive drum handler by Valley Craft Industries comes in 78- and 90-inch heights to lift, rotate and dump most steel, fiber and plastic drums and cylinders measuring 14 to 24 inches in diameter.

The device offers 12-inch power drive wheels and a full-function hydraulic lift-and-pour mechanism for transporting, lifting and dumping drums and containers. This allows any operator to effortlessly move drums up to 1,000 pounds without a forklift. Battery-powered, the units feature fully adjustable and programmable controls with 1 to 2.5 mph speed controls, the ability to climb and descend 5-degree grades, and a choice of straddle or counterweighted configuration.

The device’s tiller head is equipped with an emergency reverse switch, electronic throttle, rocker switches, horn, and gas spring to automatically return it to the upright position when not in use.
