Tünnitõstukid

Tünnitõstukid, also known as drum lifters or drum handlers, are specialized pieces of equipment designed to safely and efficiently lift, move, and often pour the contents of drums. These devices are crucial in many industrial settings where drums of varying sizes and weights, typically holding liquids, chemicals, or raw materials, need to be managed.

The primary function of a tünnitõstuki is to eliminate the manual strain and risk associated with handling heavy drums. They typically attach to a forklift, a hoist, or can be standalone units with their own lifting mechanisms. Common types include drum grabs, drum rotators, and drum squeezers. Drum grabs use jaws or clamps to securely hold the drum's rim. Drum rotators allow for the controlled tilting and emptying of drum contents, often through a geared mechanism. Drum squeezers apply pressure around the drum's circumference for lifting.

Safety is a paramount concern when using tünnitõstukid. They are engineered to provide a stable grip, preventing accidental drops and spills. Features such as robust construction, reliable locking mechanisms, and ergonomic controls contribute to their safe operation. The use of these devices significantly reduces the risk of back injuries, crushed limbs, and chemical exposure for workers.

Tünnitõstukid find applications in a wide range of industries, including chemical manufacturing, food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, waste management, and warehousing. Their versatility allows them to handle different drum materials like steel, plastic, and fiber, and accommodate various drum dimensions and capacities, making them an indispensable tool for efficient and safe material handling.
