This allows for safe and secure drum lifting. Re-setting of the lever when the drum is positioned back on the ground, allows the drum tongs to unlock and release their grip of the drum.

Our range of lifting tongs can come supplied with either 500kg lifting capacity or heavy duty 1000kg lifting capacity. They suitable for either 210 litre steel drums or 210 litre plastic mauser drums.
