FAQ about this model
Which models are available, and what does the DTH cost?
One model: the DTH-1000, at $117.34. Vestil offers this horizontal semi-automatic drum tong in a single configuration, so there is no size or capacity variant to choose between when ordering. The product data lists no accessory or companion items alongside it. Order by the model number DTH-1000 so you receive the correct part.
What is a horizontal drum tong used for?
It grips a drum lying on its side so a hoist or crane can lift and reposition it horizontally. This is the tool for drums stored, racked or transported on their sides, not one that lifts drums standing upright by the top rim. If your drums stay vertical throughout handling, a horizontal tong is the wrong choice.
What does "semi-automatic" mean in practice?
The operator places the tong on the drum by hand, and the gripping action is completed by the lifting force itself. There is no motor, hydraulic pump or air cylinder involved, so the tong needs no electrical or pneumatic supply at the point of use. Setting and releasing it remains a manual step performed at the drum.
What load is this tong rated for?
The specifications published for this listing do not state a rated capacity, so treat DTH-1000 as a model number rather than a load rating. Check the capacity marked on the unit itself and in Vestil's documentation, then compare it against the weight of your filled drum. Never exceed the rating shown on the device.
Is it covered by a warranty, and where is it made?
It carries a 1-Year Limited warranty and is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing. Both points come directly from the product data. No further detail on coverage terms, exclusions or claim handling is stated in the specifications, so refer to Vestil's published warranty document for the exact conditions that apply.
How should it be inspected and maintained?
Inspect it before each shift and take it out of service if any part is bent, cracked, worn or deformed. Because it hangs beneath a hoist hook, equipment of this type falls under OSHA's materials handling requirements and ASME's B30.20 standard for below-the-hook lifting devices, which address marking, inspection and safe operation. Keep pivot points clean.
