Six units that roll it instead, most of them carrying their own sump so the containment travels with the load. ## Documents before you order Documents for this design: the specification sheet and drawing.

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. ## 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. | | Model | Dimensions | Sump | Load | Weight | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | F21-DH-301 · Single poly drum dolly | 77 × 77 × 115 cm | 20 L | 260 kg | 9.5 kg | | | F21-DH-302 · Two-drum containment trolley | 131 × 68.2 × 98.5 cm | — | 600 kg | On request | | | F21-DH-303 · Drum poly dolly | 175 × 78 × 65 cm | 300 L | 300 kg | 44.5 kg | | | F21-DH-401 · Roll plastic pallet, black | 123 × 80 × 25 cm | — | 2,000 / 1,000 kg | 16 kg | | | F21-DH-401 · Roll plastic pallet, blue | 120 × 100 × 22 cm | — | 2,000 / 1,000 kg | 18 kg | | | F21-DH-402 · Tilt truck | 78.7 × 78.7 × 83.8 cm | — | On request | On request | 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. ## 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. The roll pallets are 2,000 kg static and 1,000 kg dynamic, and the second number 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. ## Where it goes ### Warehouse & drum stores ### Workshops & fleet servicing ### Chemical & fuel handling ### Waste collection ### Food & beverage plants ### Ports & logistics ## Construction, specification and use Our distributors give their own buyers this same breakdown. ## 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.

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. ### What does a drum dolly look like? A drum dolly is a wheeled frame that carries a drum so one person can roll it. Our single poly drum dolly measures 77 by 77 by 115 cm, is rated at 260 kg and has a 20 litre sump that keeps containment under the drum as it moves. The larger drum poly dolly measures 175 by 78 by 65 cm, is rated at 300 kg and has a 300 litre sump. ## More in Mounting & Handling Accessory ### Jerry Can Holders & Mounts F21-AH Steel holders, brackets and strap systems tooled to our own can geometry, for vehicle, trailer and wall mounting.
