Drum Lifter

Drum Lifter – Lift Easy

What Is a Drum Lifter?

A drum lifter — also known as a drum lifting clamp, overhead drum lifter, or chain drum lifter — is a certified lifting attachment designed to grip, lift, and transport industrial drums using an overhead lifting device such as a crane, chain hoist, or electric wire rope hoist. Unlike forklift drum attachments, a drum lifter connects directly to overhead lifting equipment, allowing drums to be raised vertically, tilted for pouring, or positioned in spaces where forklifts and ground-level equipment cannot access.

The Lift Easy Drum Lifter (Model LEDLI) is a GS and CE certified overhead drum lifting clamp constructed with grade 80 chain and spring-loaded drum clamps that provide a positive, automatic grip on industrial drum rims. With a 1000 kg capacity, a compact 3.6 kg net weight, and four distinct lifting configurations, the LEDLI is the preferred drum lifting clamp for warehouse operators, maintenance engineers, chemical plant workers, and rigging professionals across Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

Description

The Lift Easy Drum Lifter LEDLI is a lightweight, high-strength overhead drum lifting clamp engineered for fast, safe, and reliable drum handling in demanding industrial environments across the GCC. Constructed with grade 80 chain — the same high-tensile chain standard used in professional overhead lifting slings — the LEDLI drum lifter delivers exceptional strength relative to its compact 3.6 kg net weight, making it one of the most practical and easy-to-use drum lifting clamps available to industries across Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

The spring-loaded latch mechanism on each drum clamp automatically engages when the clamp is positioned on the drum rim, providing a positive, secure grip that holds the drum firmly throughout the entire lifting and transport operation. Unlike manual drum clamps that rely on operator tightening, the spring-loaded design of the Lift Easy drum lifter eliminates the risk of incorrect clamping or gradual clamp loosening during extended lifts — making it the safe choice for drum lifting in oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, food & beverage factories, and warehouse operations across the GCC.

The LEDLI supports four distinct lifting configurations — Up-right Lifting (Lidded), Side Angle Lifting, Dump, and Double Leg — giving operators the flexibility to handle drums in the precise orientation required by the task. Whether lifting lidded drums vertically for storage, tilting drums for content pouring, or using the double leg configuration for balanced lifting of heavy drums, the Lift Easy drum lifter provides a certified and versatile overhead drum handling solution for industries throughout Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

As a trusted drum lifter supplier, distributor, and manufacturer in Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, Lift Easy delivers GS and CE certified drum lifting clamps backed by full technical support, product certification, and regional after-sales service.
