Maneuvering drums as previously discussed is an extremely difficult job unless you have the right equipment. Drum cradles and drum trucks are perfect for getting your contained material or product in place. One person can do all the moving by themselves without worrying about damaging or spilling the drum.
Drum trucks are built in the same way as hand trucks except they are made specifically with the drum in mind. Equipped with sliding chime hook that is either spring loaded snaps into place. The drum rests securely into the truck and tilted backwards for mobility. Some of drum trucks have two extra support wheels where once the drum is tilted back it is stabilized for transport and rolled on four wheels as opposed to the typical two wheel variety. When looking to purchase a drum truck be sure to know which style will be best for your application.
