Drum Trucks and Dollies

Drum Trucks & Dollies, Multi-Function, Aluminum & Plastic Options

 

Drum trucks and dollies handle the everyday work of repositioning a stationary drum, mixing and draining contents, or transporting a drum across the facility without a forklift. CustomMHS offers configurations from MECO, Wesco, and Vestil in aluminum, steel, and plastic construction to match your material and environment.

Models and Specifications:

♦ MECO Drum Wizard, Mix, Drain, Move, Store. Multi-function equipment for mixing, draining, moving, and storing drums.
♦ Wesco Aluminum Drum Truck, lightweight aluminum construction for corrosion-resistant drum transport.
♦ Vestil Multi-Purpose Drum Dolly.
♦ Vestil OCTO-55-CI Octo Drum Dolly, 2,000 lb capacity.
♦ Vestil DRUM-HD Heavy Duty Drum Dolly, 2,000 lb capacity.
♦ Vestil Plastic Drum Dolly, corrosion-resistant plastic construction suits wet or chemical-exposed environments.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Function: choose the MECO Drum Wizard for multi-function mixing, draining, and storage, or a dolly for straightforward repositioning.
♦ Material: choose Aluminum for lightweight corrosion resistance, Steel for heavy-duty capacity, or Plastic for wet or chemical-exposed environments.
♦ Capacity: both the Octo and Heavy Duty dollies carry a 2,000 lb capacity, so selection comes down to dolly style.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Chemical and Oil Handling, the Drum Wizard supports controlled mixing and draining.
♦ Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants, dollies reposition stationary drums without a forklift.
♦ Wet or Chemical-Exposed Areas, plastic dollies resist corrosion where metal dollies would degrade.
♦ Facilities Without Forklift Access, lightweight aluminum trucks support manual drum transport.

CustomMHS carries the full line of MECO, Wesco, and Vestil drum trucks and dollies, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a drum truck and a drum dolly?
A drum dolly is a wheeled base the drum sits on, so a stationary drum can be rolled to a new position within a work area. A drum truck is a hand truck built around drum handling, with a frame and handle that let one person tilt a drum back and move it across the facility. Dollies reposition, trucks transport. CustomMHS carries the full line of MECO, Wesco, and Vestil drum trucks and dollies, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.
Which material should I choose?
Three options cover different environments. Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion resistant, which suits manual transport where the operator handles the equipment repeatedly and weight matters. Steel gives heavy-duty capacity, with both the Vestil OCTO-55-CI and DRUM-HD rated at 2,000 pounds. Plastic resists corrosion in wet and chemically exposed areas where a metal dolly would rust or degrade over time.
What does the MECO Drum Wizard do that a dolly does not?
The Drum Wizard is multi-function equipment that handles mixing, draining, moving, and storing in one unit rather than only repositioning. That matters where drum contents have to be agitated before use or drawn off in controlled amounts, since those tasks otherwise require separate equipment or manual handling. If your work is limited to moving a drum from one spot to another, a dolly does that at lower cost.
How do I choose between the Octo and Heavy Duty dollies?
Both Vestil models carry the same 2,000 pound capacity, so capacity does not separate them. The decision comes down to dolly style and how the drum sits on the base, which affects stability and how easily the drum can be rotated or repositioned once loaded. Compare the base configuration against the drums you handle and the floor conditions in the area where they will be used.
How do drum trucks and dollies help your facility?
The main gain is moving drums without a forklift, which frees that equipment for work that requires it and makes drum handling possible in areas where a lift truck cannot operate or is not available. A 55 gallon drum of liquid weighs several hundred pounds, so moving one by hand is both slow and a common source of back injuries, and putting it on wheels removes that lift entirely. Corrosion-resistant plastic and aluminum options also keep equipment in service in wet and chemical areas rather than rusting out, which matters because a corroded dolly is a failure risk under a loaded drum. And multi-function equipment such as the Drum Wizard consolidates mixing, draining, and moving into one unit, so those tasks happen at the drum rather than requiring it to be transferred somewhere else.
