Drum Dolly 200L Drum Trolley with Spill Containment

Built for Australian businesses

Moving a full 200-litre drum by hand is one of the more dangerous routine jobs in a workshop. The drum weighs more than the person moving it, it is top-heavy, and tipping or walking it across a floor risks both injury and a spill. The spill is often the larger problem: a drum of chemical across a workshop floor is a clean-up, a report, and potentially a regulatory matter.

The Swan Drum Dolly addresses both at once. The drum sits on a wheeled base rather than being manhandled, so it rolls instead of being walked, and a wide steel handle gives two-handed control over direction and stopping rather than relying on shoving the drum itself.

The base is moulded to catch small leaks and drips. This is the distinction worth being precise about: it is a containment base for the minor seepage that happens around bungs, taps and seams while a drum is in use or in motion, not a bunded pallet sized to hold the drum’s full contents. For full-capacity bunding to AS 1940 requirements, a bunded spill pallet is the correct product, and the dolly complements rather than replaces it.

Swivel castors with brakes are what make it work in a real workshop. Swivel lets the dolly turn in its own length in aisles and between benches; the brakes let it be parked and worked from without creeping. For tight workshops where a forklift cannot reach and a pallet jack has nowhere to go, it is often the only practical way to reposition a drum.

At 750 x 750 x 1095 mm and 16 kg it is compact and manoeuvrable, built in Australia, with very high chemical resistance for the solvents, oils, fuels and chemicals typically stored in 200L drums. The minimum order is a single unit.
