Vestil Portable Drum Jacks

Portable Drum Handling Jacks for Lifting, Transporting, and Weighing Drums Portable drum handling jacks provide a compact, maneuverable solution for lifting and transporting drums in warehouses, production areas, maintenance departments, chemical handling operations, and shipping facilities. Designed to reduce manual effort and improve drum control, these steel drum jacks help move 30, 55, and 85 gallon drums depending on model and drum material. Drum Grip and Transport Options This family includes models for steel, fiber, and plastic drums, with styles that secure drums by the top lip, saddle, grapple, or adjustable chime clamp.

Select designs hold the drum vertically during transport, making them useful for handling open drums while helping reduce the risk of spills. Capacities and Lift Heights Capacities range from 500 lb. to 900 lb., with lift heights from 5-1/4 inches to 23-5/8 inches depending on model.

Compact frames and rolling caster configurations support maneuverability in restrictive areas, aisles, work cells, and drum storage zones. Model DRUM-55-36 accepts 55 gallon steel and fiber drums with a top lip. The front rigid wheels are 6" x 1-1/2", while the rear swivel casters are 3" x 1-1/2".

Model DRUM-55S has a unique grapple to hold 55 gallon steel drums securely into the steel saddle prior to lifting it vertically. The drum is held in this position during transit, enabling open drums to be handled without spillage. Model DRUM-55-FSP has a single clamping mechanism, which automatically latches on the drum chime when being elevated or transported.

The clamping mechanism is fully adjustable for shorter height drums. Model DRUM-55-SCL-E can lift, transport, and weigh 30, 55, and 85 gallon steel, fiber, and plastic drums. Scale head features automatic turn-off and +/-0.5 lbs.

FAQ about this model

What drum sizes does each jack accommodate?

The DRUM-55S handles 30 and 55 gallon drums, while the DRUM-55-36 is built specifically for 55 gallon drums. The DRUM-55-SCL-E is an ergo drum truck with a built-in scale rated at 900 lb, rather than being sized by drum gallon capacity.

What is the weight capacity of the drum truck with scale?

The DRUM-55-SCL-E ergo drum truck with scale has a 900 lb capacity. Capacity for the DRUM-55S and DRUM-55-36 is defined by drum size (30/55 gallon and 55 gallon respectively) rather than a stated weight rating.

What is the price difference between the three models?

Pricing ranges from $942.06 for the DRUM-55S up to $3,780.38 for the DRUM-55-SCL-E. The DRUM-55-36 falls in between at $1,332.38. The price increase reflects added features like the built-in scale on the top-tier model.

Where are these drum jacks manufactured?

All three models are made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing. This applies across the full lineup, from the entry-level DRUM-55S to the DRUM-55-SCL-E.

What warranty comes with a Vestil portable drum jack?

Every model in this lineup, including the DRUM-55S, DRUM-55-36, and DRUM-55-SCL-E, carries a 1-Year Limited warranty from Vestil.

Which model should I choose if I only need to move standard 55 gallon drums?

The DRUM-55-36 at $1,332.38 is built specifically for 55 gallon drums. If your drums vary between 30 and 55 gallon sizes, the lower-priced DRUM-55S at $942.06 covers both. Choose the DRUM-55-SCL-E only if you also need integrated weighing up to 900 lb.
