This Wesco 261160 drum lift has a 750-lb. capacity and can be used for lifting and transporting 30-gal., 55-gal., and 85-gal. industrial drums made of steel, fiber, or plastic. It is compatible with a Wesco 261160 drum lifter, 261162 adjustable forks attachment, and 261163 slip-on platform attachment (all sold separately). A lifting attachment is required for bearing a load. A manually operated winch raises and lowers the drum. The lift has a lever-operated three-position outrigger for accessing drums around pallets and other obstacles. It measures 30 x 52.25 x 70.75 inches (W x D x H) fully extended. (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.) It has two 10" solid rubber load wheels with a wheel lock for safety, and two 3" neoprene swivel casters for maneuverability. This drum lift is suitable for use in industrial and commercial material handling applications.

Material lifts typically comprise a vertical metal frame and two forks that can support a pallet of goods and that can be raised or lowered to an optimal, ergonomic height for loading or unloading. The forks may be controlled with a hand crank or a foot pump, and they can sometimes be inverted to adjust the service range. Wheels allow the material lift to be rolled for moving materials. Some material lifts have special wheels on the frame that can enable it to be loaded into a delivery truck for transport. Material lifts can be used in warehouses, storerooms, shipping facilities, and other industrial environments.

Wesco manufactures material handling equipment under the Wesco and Lexco brands. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
