Wesco 240156 Power Lift Drum Handler - DM-1100-PL

Wesco 240156 Power Lift Drum Handler (DM-1100-PL), Auto Grip Lock, 650–1,100 lb Capacity, Remote Up/Down Control

The Wesco 240156 Power Lift Drum Handler (DM-1100-PL) is the safer, faster way to lift, transport, and place drums onto spill pallets or standard pallets—without relying on manual drum wrestling. This patent-pending, Wesco-exclusive design is built around the Wesco Gator Grip concept, engineered to handle most 30, 55, or 85-gallon steel, fiber, and poly drums.

At the core is Wesco’s Exclusive Auto Grip Lock, which automatically locks the jaws closed for a secure hold—even when moving across rough floors. The spring-loaded clamp fits drums with rim thickness of 3/16" or greater, including most locking-ring drums. Operators don’t need to touch the drum to operate the handler, reducing pinch-point exposure and improving consistency. With power lifting and remote up/down control, this model boosts productivity and reduces fatigue—especially in high-volume drum workflows.

♦ Exclusive Auto Grip Lock: Automatically locks the grip jaws closed, ensuring a secure hold even over rough terrain.
♦ Spring-Loaded Clamp: Secures any drum with a rim thickness of 3/16" or higher, compatible with most drums with locking rings.
