ELAFROS Plastic Drum Dolly 30/55 Gallon 900lb Capacity Black

Description

Product Overview

The ELAFROS Plastic Drum Dolly is engineered for heavy‑duty material handling in industrial, scientific, and commercial environments. Constructed from high‑impact polypropylene, the dolly offers exceptional resistance to chips, dents, rust, and chemical corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding conditions. Its two‑tier platform design accommodates a single 30‑gallon or 55‑gallon drum—or a 5‑gallon pail—providing a secure cradle that distributes weight evenly across the structure. With a rated load capacity of 900 lb, the dolly can safely transport drums filled with dense liquids, powders, or hazardous materials without compromising stability. The overall dimensions measure 24.25 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches in height, while the inner tier offers an 18.75‑inch diameter and the outer tier a 23.5‑inch diameter, guaranteeing a snug fit for standard drum sizes. Five 3‑inch industrial‑strength polypropylene swivel casters deliver smooth, low‑resistance movement across smooth floors, concrete, and even slightly uneven surfaces, while the caster design incorporates a built‑in brake option on select models for added control during loading and unloading. The dolly’s compact footprint and lightweight construction—13.5 lb—make it easy to lift, position, and store when not in use. Designed with safety and ergonomics in mind, the dolly features rounded edges, a non‑slip surface, and an enclosed bolt system that prevents accidental contact with sharp metal fasteners, reducing the risk of damage to both the drum and the operator.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the ELAFROS Drum Dolly excels in a wide range of applications. In warehouses and distribution centers, it streamlines the movement of bulk chemicals, oil drums, and industrial solvents, allowing workers to shift heavy containers from storage racks to loading docks with minimal effort. Laboratory environments benefit from the dolly’s chemical‑resistant construction, enabling safe transport of hazardous reagents, waste drums, and large reagent containers between workstations, fume hoods, and disposal areas. In manufacturing plants, the dolly assists maintenance crews in relocating lubricants, coolant tanks, and paint drums to equipment bays, while its compact size permits navigation through narrow aisles and confined spaces. Outdoor use is also supported; the polypropylene wheels resist UV degradation and maintain traction on gravel, grass, or packed earth, making the dolly suitable for construction sites, agricultural facilities, and event venues where temporary storage of large drums is required. The optional brake‑equipped models provide additional stability on inclined surfaces, ensuring that drums remain stationary during loading, unloading, or when positioned on ramps. Whether the task involves routine inventory rotation, emergency spill response, or seasonal stock relocation, the ELAFROS Drum Dolly delivers reliable performance, reducing manual handling strain and enhancing workplace safety.

FAQ

What weight can the dolly safely carry?

The dolly is rated for a maximum load of 900 lb, allowing it to transport fully loaded 30‑gallon or 55‑gallon drums without compromising stability.

Are the wheels suitable for rough outdoor surfaces?

Yes. The 3‑inch polypropylene casters are designed to roll smoothly on concrete, packed earth, gravel, and grass while resisting wear from UV exposure.

Can the dolly be used with drums that have non‑standard dimensions?

The two‑tier platform accommodates standard 30‑gallon and 55‑gallon drums. For drums with slightly larger diameters, the outer tier provides a generous clearance, but extremely oversized containers may require a custom solution.

Is there a brake option for the wheels?

Some SKUs include a built‑in brake mechanism that locks the wheels in place when engaged, offering added control on inclines or during precise positioning.

How do I clean the dolly after exposure to chemicals?

Simply rinse the dolly with water and a mild detergent, then dry it with a clean cloth. The polypropylene material is resistant to most chemicals, so routine cleaning restores its appearance without degrading performance.
