Manufacturing plants: Raw material and waste drums. Fleet and maintenance shops: Oil, coolant and waste drums. Food and beverage plants: Ingredient drums on clean concrete floors. Paint and coatings distributors: Moving drums through the warehouse. Janitorial and sanitation supply: Concentrate drums from receiving to the mixing room. Water treatment: Chemical drums at treatment plants and pump houses. How to use the DB-W24B Check the drum. Confirm the drum's size, material and full weight before you move it. Call us if you are not sure the truck fits your drum. Load. Roll the truck up to the drum so the hoop wraps it and the toes sit under the bottom edge. Tip. Pull back on the Y handle and let the drum's weight settle over the wheels. Roll. Steer with both grips. On a level floor you can let go and the truck stays standing. Unload. Roll to the spot, tip the drum forward onto its base and back the truck out. Drum handling basics Check that the bung and lid are tight before you tip a drum. A loose bung leaks the moment the drum leans back. Know the full weight. A full drum of water-based product weighs far more than an empty one; check the label or the shipping paperwork. Keep the floor clear and dry along the route, and roll at walking pace. Set the drum down on a level spot and tip it forward slowly onto its base before backing the truck out.
