Vacuum Drum Lifter for Steel, Plastic & Fiber Drums
BILLIONS LIFTER® solves heavy drum handling challenges with a pneumatic drum handler designed for universal material compatibility, fast pick-and-place cycles, safe 55-gallon drum handling, and scratch-free barrel movement.
Steel Drums
Secure lifting for sealed steel drums used in chemical, coating, oil, and raw material processing.
Plastic PE Barrels
High-compensation suction seals adapt to plastic barrel surfaces for stable and consistent vacuum grip.
Top Suction
Ideal for sealed drums and barrels, offering the fastest pick-and-place cycle for palletizing work.
Side Vacuum Grip
Designed for open-top containers or restricted top access, ensuring balanced and secure side lifting.
Application Scenarios for Drum & Barrel Handling
From chemical drum handling systems to industrial barrel palletizing, BILLIONS LIFTER® helps factories move drums more safely, faster, and with less labor intensity.
Chemical & Raw Material Processing
Position heavy ingredient drums next to mixers, reactors, and production lines with precise control. This chemical drum handling system reduces manual effort while improving production safety.
Warehousing & Barrel Palletizing

BILLIONS LIFTER® Offers a Wide Range of Handle Options
We provide the most comfortable control methods tailored to your specific operating habits and working conditions.
One-Handed Easy Control
Featuring a fully integrated design for lifting, suction, and release, this handle is ideal for rapid, high-frequency light-duty handling tasks.
Two-Handed Robust Control
Designed for heavy-duty loads or tasks requiring high-precision positioning, providing superior stability and a sense of total control.
Extended & Adjustable Handles
Easily handle high-level palletizing or deep-reach picking. It expands the operational radius while ensuring maximum operator comfort.
Intelligent & Ergonomic Control Features
It’s more than just material handling—it’s an efficient, safe, and intelligent experience.
Stepless High-Speed Lifting
With a response speed of 0-1m/s (197 ft/min), it allows for intuitive control of the handling tempo, significantly boosting production line efficiency.
Precise Hovering Under No-Load
After releasing the handle, the suction head automatically stabilizes and hovers at any height, ensuring the next pick-up is quick and convenient.
Secure Hovering Under Load
Even when suctioning heavy objects, the system achieves precise hovering and fine-tuning, ensuring the placement position is accurate to the millimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can BILLIONS LIFTER® handle plastic drums with uneven surfaces?
Yes. BILLIONS LIFTER® uses high-compensation suction seals that mold to the irregularities of plastic PE barrel surfaces, helping maintain a consistent vacuum seal during lifting, positioning, and palletizing.
Q2: Is it possible to lift open-top barrels without a lid?
Absolutely. For lidless containers or drums where top access is restricted, we can use side vacuum grip technology. The system secures the barrel from the exterior wall instead of relying on top suction.
Q3: How does the system prevent the drum from falling if power is lost?
Safety is integrated into the system. A safety non-return valve helps keep the vacuum secure in the lifting tube, allowing the load to be lowered slowly and safely to the ground in the event of sudden power loss.
Q4: What is the maximum weight capacity for drum lifting?
The standard BILLIONS LIFTER® vacuum tube lifter series supports typical loads from 30kg up to 300kg. Custom configurations are available according to drum size, surface condition, handling height, and site requirements.
Q5: Can this be mounted on a mobile crane for different workstations?
Yes. BILLIONS LIFTER® can be combined with mobile pillar jib cranes, pillar-mounted jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, or KBK light rail systems, making it suitable for flexible drum handling across multiple workstations.
