SDL-300 Series Drum Lifter & Stacker
A purpose-built drum lifter and stacker that lifts, transports, and rotates 200-litre steel drums with a 300 kg capacity. Available in manual-hydraulic (H / HL) and battery-electric (E / EL) versions, with lifting heights up to 2470 mm and full 360 degree drum rotation. Engineered for safe drum handling in warehouses and industrial sites across the UAE.
Product Overview
The Soosung SDL-300 Series is a heavy-duty drum lifter and stacker designed to lift, move, rotate, and stack standard 200-litre (ø600 x 900 mm) steel drums safely and efficiently. With a 300 kg load capacity and a clamping head that rotates a full 360 degrees, it allows operators to decant, position, and stack drums with precise control and minimal manual effort.
The series is offered in four configurations to match different operations. The SDL-300H and SDL-300HL are manual-hydraulic units (the HL providing an extended lifting height to 2460 mm), while the SDL-300E and SDL-300EL are battery-electric, powered by a DC 12V x 1.6 kW hydraulic motor with a 12V / 125Ah battery and an on-board 220V charger. Electric models lift to 1460 mm (E) and 2470 mm (EL). All units run on ø250 mm front wheels with rotating rear castors for manoeuvrability in tight warehouse spaces, making the SDL-300 Series a reliable choice for chemical, food, paint, and lubricant handling operations in the UAE.

Lifting and stacking drums, not just moving them
Where a drum trolley shifts a drum across the floor, the SDL-300 is about the vertical job — lifting a full drum onto racking, a spill pallet or a mixing station, and stacking drums safely instead of manhandling them up by hand. Anyone who has watched two people wrestle a 200-litre drum onto a second tier already knows the case for it.
That lift-and-place ability is what keeps a drum store tidy and safe. Drums go up and come down under control, pouring and decanting happen at a set height, and the back-injury risk that comes with lifting full drums largely goes away.
Where it fits alongside a drum trolley
Plenty of operations run both: a trolley for moving drums around, and a lifter-stacker like the SDL-300 for getting them on and off racking or up to working height. If you store drums on more than one level, or decant regularly, the lifting version is the one that removes the risky manual handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the SDL-300 different from a drum trolley?
A trolley moves a drum horizontally across the floor; the SDL-300 lifts and stacks it — onto racking, spill pallets or mixing stations, and up to pouring height. If your drums need to go up as well as along, this is the tool for it.
Can the SDL-300 stack drums on racking?
Yes, that is its main purpose — controlled lifting and stacking rather than manual handling. Tell us your drum type, weight and the heights involved and we will confirm the right model.
