One of the UK's leading forklift truck attachment specialists is continuing to provide businesses across the country with an alternative to manual labour when emptying out drums, as well as saving time and money.

Mid Wales-based Contact Attachments has been designing and manufacturing drum rotators for companies across the UK for over three decades, products which offer a more safe and efficient way to dispose of waste materials.

Jason Cadman, Technical Sales Consultant at Contact Attachments, explained: "There are many common challenges that firms face when handling drums, such as the issue of lifting and moving heavy drums, loading and unloading, controlled pouring, and manipulating drums onto shelves and racking.

"These have been designed to enable users to operate at both head heights and above head heights, via a crank handle and a loop chain which are both connected to a high quality gearbox so that they eliminate over-pouring or spillages, ultimately reducing the risk of costly damages and injury to workers.

"With over 30 years' experience in the sector, we have built up an enviable reputation in providing high quality drum handling equipment, each of which are manufactured in-house to ensure all of these tasks are carried out as safely and easily as possible, and current users include leading brands such as Corus, Castrol, Scottish Power and Esso Petroleum.
