Drum Dollies & Trolleys

Product code F21-DH-301 / -302 / -303 / -401 / -402

Moving a full drum by hand is where the back injuries and the dropped drums come from. Six units that roll it instead, most of them carrying their own sump so the containment travels with the load.

Quoted on enquiry

These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them rather than publish one figure that would be wrong for most buyers. Ask and you get the number for your specification.

  • Castor specification and floor rating
  • Minimum order quantity

Before you order: Load ratings assume a level, sound floor. Castors, thresholds and gradients change what is safe to move, and a drum being pushed up a slope on a dolly is a different risk assessment from one being pushed across a bay. Confirm the floor and the route with us.

The Range

Models in this range

Six dollies, trolleys and pallets for moving a drum across a yard. Two load figures mean static / dynamic, and dynamic is the one that matters here because everything on this page moves under load.

Dimensions are length × width × height and weights are empty, both nominal. Load figures are the manufacturer’s published values; ask us for the test basis before you specify against them. The figure to check your containment rule against is the sump capacity, not the footprint.

Why It Is Built This Way

What makes this product different

01

The sump travels with the drum

A drum on a plain dolly leaves its containment behind the moment it moves. The 20 and 300 litre sump versions keep it underneath, which is the only time containment is any use in transit.

02

Dynamic load is the figure to read

Everything on this page moves under load, so the dynamic rating governs, not the static one. The roll pallets are 2,000 kg static and 1,000 kg dynamic, and the second number is the one that applies.

03

Two handle options for two floors

A straight pull handle steers better on smooth concrete; a U-handle gives two hands and more control over expansion joints and thresholds. Tell us the floor.

04

One person, one drum

A filled drum is beyond safe manual handling by any measure. A dolly turns a two-person lift with a trapped-finger risk into a push, without booking the forklift.

Compliance by market

What this product has to satisfy, market by market

The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. This is what the market asks for; what this particular design already holds is in the specification above.

Orientation for specification, not legal advice, and not a statement that this design holds a given approval. Requirements turn on the exact design, contents and destination, and they change. Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain.

Questions, Answered

The things buyers ask before they order

Why choose a dolly with a sump?

Because a drum on a plain dolly leaves its containment behind the moment it moves. The 20 and 300 litre sump versions keep it underneath, which is the only time containment does any good in transit.

Which load figure should I read?

The dynamic one. Everything on this page moves under load, so the static figure is the less useful of the two. The roll pallets are 2,000 kilograms static and 1,000 dynamic, and 1,000 is the number that applies in use.

Straight handle or U-shaped handle?

A straight pull handle steers better on smooth concrete. A U-handle gives two hands and more control over expansion joints, thresholds and gradients. Tell us the floor and the route.

Can one person move a full drum with these?

On a level, sound floor, yes, which is the point of buying one. A filled drum is beyond safe manual handling by any measure, and a dolly turns a two-person lift into a push without booking the forklift.

Do the ratings hold on a slope?

No. Load ratings assume a level floor. Castors, thresholds and gradients change what is safe to move, and pushing a drum up a slope on a dolly is a different risk assessment from crossing a bay. Confirm the floor and the route with us.

What is the tilt truck for?

Moving waste, absorbent and used containers rather than intact drums. It is quoted on specification because the build varies. Ask us what is available for your volume.

What is the minimum order and the lead time?

Quoted against your order. These ship as bulky single items, so send the destination with the quantities and we will quote the freight alongside the unit price.
