Help your Company be prepared for the Worst with 55 Gallon Drums

Natural disasters happen, and even minor thunderstorms in the right vicinity can knock out power, water and fuel for extended periods of time. When it comes to big companies that keep all of their systems running around the clock, there can be no chances of running out of water, electricity and fuel. Having additional means of fuel and water stored in 55 gallon drums can be crucial to maintaining company functionality during times of natural disaster. 

Having a back-up supply of water and fuel, stored in 55 gallon drums, can help to save your company from a loss of productivity. Our 55 gallon drums are sturdy and durable, and we have a variety of accessories to accommodate any industrial strength need. We provide a variety of drum heaters and drum mixers to ensure that your products will be properly stored and homogenized. A few of our additional 55 gallon drum accessories include drum trucks, drum dollies and drum handling equipment, to ensure that your employees will not be wasting time and energy trying to move large and heavy 55 gallon drums and other pieces of equipment. By keeping 55 gallon drums and other drum accessories on hand for emergencies, you ensure that your company’s production will not come to screeching halt in the event of a natural disaster or other unforeseeable circumstance. 

Don't let the production within your company suffer during a natural disaster because of a lack of materials and additional supplies, make sure you stock up on fuel and water in 55 gallon drums and be sure to purchase back-up generators to help produce power in the event that electricity is jeopardized.

Eliminate Workplace Injuries with Drum Handling Equipment

As an employer it is your duty to keep your employees safe and out of harm’s way. With drum handling equipment you can dramatically reduce the number of workplace injuries that result from transporting drums. Increase your workplace production by making the transportation of drums easy and less stressful on your employees.

Why choose drum handling equipment…

• Outdated methods of transporting drums create the perfect environment for slip and fall accidents. Medical expenses from workplace injuries are costly to employers, not to mention they greatly reduce production rates.

• With constant heavy back lifting, your employees become more prone to a strained back and other related conditions. This contributes to the loss of a valuable employee which is unnecessary when these conditions can be prevented in the first place.

• Drum handling equipment enables employees to use less effort to move drums and there is less strain from heavy lifting. Drum equipment is able to assist in lifting or moving objects as heavy as 2000lbs and in some cases more.

• Employees are able to complete work tasks at a faster rate because the drums become easier to load and move. With the use of drum equipment relatively any operator will be able to load and move drums, not just your burlier men.

• Tools like our, Economy Drum Upender, Open-Head/Tight-Head Drum Lifter, and High Capacity Drum Cradle, all make your job easier. They are designed to help lift and transport heavy objects; they reduce back injuries, strain, and pinched fingers.

• Instead of taking a reactive approach to workplace safety take a proactive approach to prevent incidents from occurring. When you implement the right tools you reduce your company’s expenses, you create a safer environment for your employees, and you have improved production.
