Vestil Manufacturing DTP-11 Manual Drum Tipper Upender

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING DTP-11 is a manual drum tipper and upender designed to help workers safely reposition horizontal drums to the vertical position without mechanical power. Built from solid steel with a blue powder coat finish, this tool delivers the leverage needed to tip standard industrial drums with minimal effort. The wide toe plate protects barrel sides from denting during the tipping process, while the narrow top plate is designed to grab a variety of drum chimes securely. At 7 pounds, the DTP-11 is a lightweight, durable hand tool suited for warehouse, manufacturing, and industrial service environments.

This drum upender is intended for use in facilities where drums must be repositioned for filling, dispensing, or storage. It is well suited for maintenance crews, chemical handling operations, and industrial supply rooms where standard 55-gallon steel or plastic drums are in regular use. The tool requires no electrical connection or hydraulic system, making it ready to deploy anywhere on the floor. A single unit ships per package, sized at 41 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 7 inches in height for straightforward storage when not in use.
