Go with the Brands You Trust
We partner with the most reputable manufacturers in the industry so we can provide you with the best possible products, made with the most reliable quality available.

We only choose the manufacturers that we trust to provide material handling equipment that we're proud to feature.
Choosing the Right Frame Style depends on how you will use and store the drum truck.
- Two-wheel models: Good choice if only occasional use is required
- Self-standing types: Easy to store
- Four-wheel models: For all-day work because they take the load off the operator and the back wheels make pallet loading and unloading much easier
Steel and Aluminum Trucks: Strong, durable, economical, and ruggedly built
- Aluminum trucks: Less weight than steel trucks, less effort to move
- Non-sparking if you are working in flammable environments
- Models available to handle loads up to 1,200 pounds
Chime Hooks: The usual method for catching the top rim of the drum
- It can be tilted and transported on the truck
- If your drums don’t have a top rim: Select a truck that secures the drum with a nylon belt
Tires: An important factor in your selection of a drum truck
- Molded rubber or polyolefin tires: Well suited to smooth concrete or wood floors and have a high load capacity
- Pneumatic or semi-pneumatic tires: On rough or badly cracked concrete or gravel
Brakes: Available on higher end drum trucks and easily worth their additional cost
- When moving a full drum down from the nose of a 53’ trailer, it can speed up and be difficult to slow down
- Easy and safe speed control
Drainer Trucks: Hybrid trucks, which function not only as a drum truck but also as a drum cradle
- Drain off fluid from your barrel into a bucket
- To drain from your drum: You will need a drum faucet ranging in sizes from ¾” and 2” drum faucets
