WHAT WEIGHT CAN A DRUM DOLLY CARRY?

March 30, 2021

WHAT WEIGHT CAN A DRUM DOLLY CARRY?

 

The weight this piece of equipment can carry can go all the way up to 500kg. We always recommend that you check the weight of the drums that you need to lift before you purchase a dolly to ensure it can carry the weight, is the right size and meets your required specifications.

 

Drum dollies are usually made from steel to carry the weight across a small circumference area and fit the size of what are usually circular drums. The weight of them can vary ranging from being able to carry 25 litres all the way up to 210 litres. 208 litres is the common nominal volume of a container drum which is why you should look at getting the 210-litre capacity dolly to ensure you can move the standard weighted drum container.

 

It can be a good idea to get the highest weight limit dolly as this way you will be able to carry the lower weight container drums, as well as higher weight limit container drums, up to the max capacity. As container drums usually have a max limit themselves, drum dollies are designed in a way to be able to carry its max weight.
