• Elimination of crushing and rolling risks: The fixed cradle geometry in metal tubing rigidly locks the heavy drum body horizontally, eliminating dangerous oscillatory movements for the operator’s hands during dispensing phases.
• Full compliance with European inspections and regulations: The coating in accordance with ISO 3864 and EEC 77/576 (L 229) ensures the use of a coded safety signaling color, simplifying the company’s adaptation to workplace safety requirements.
• Total resistance to chemical substances and lubricants: The surface chemical treatment with oil-resistant and acid-resistant polyurethane resins prevents any dripping of hydrocarbons or chemical agents from corroding the metal load-bearing structure.
• Outdoor storage flexibility: Thanks to the polyurethane finish and the outdoor polyester curing, the support stably resists rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations without peeling or rusting in storage yards.
• Extremely compact floor footprint: With a square footprint of only 600x600 mm, the frame fits easily even in small spaces, narrow aisles or on workbenches, optimizing the logistics of the liquid warehouse.
• Perfect integration with environmental retention systems: The dimensions of the footprint are optimized for positioning the support on the grids of standard perimeter collection tanks, intercepting every drop or accidental leak in accordance with the law.

This horizontal support frame finds its ideal application within industrial decanting islands, lubricant storage warehouses, mechanical workshops, laboratories and chemical or pharmaceutical production departments. It is an essential piece of equipment in all contexts where it is necessary to dispense fluids from a heavy 220-liter drum in a safe, isolated and controlled way. Thanks to the outdoor coating compliant with EEC directives and acid protection, it is perfect for being positioned both inside production departments and in external perimeter storage areas exposed to atmospheric agents, preferably above suitable containment basins.

The h1043_34 model is the correct choice when workplace safety and decanting management require a single, permanent and heavy tubular metal structure, suitable for stably supporting a 220-liter drum horizontally. It represents the ideal solution compared to improvised or unstable supports because it offers geometric and centralized support stability, combined with industrial surface protection based on oil-resistant and acid-resistant polyurethane resins. Choosing this support means investing in a product compliant with the law (ISO 3864 and EEC 77/576) that eliminates the risks of injury from handling, resists heavy factory use and ensures maximum order in liquid deposits.

Does the structure allow for lifting and moving with a forklift when the drum is loaded?

This support is designed as a fixed and stable base from the ground (with dimensions 600x600x380h mm) to ensure the safe housing of a heavy drum during dispensing. For reasons of workplace safety and prevention of the risks of falling or crushing, the loading, unloading or moving operations of the drum on the support must be performed when the drum is empty or by using suitable mechanized lifting systems (such as drum clamps or cranes), while keeping the support stationary in position.

What do the ISO 3864 and EEC 77/576 standards indicated in the frame description provide for?

These regulations govern the mandatory safety colors and signs in the workplace. The compliance of the support with these directives ensures that the coating is performed with a high-visibility chromatic shade coded by law (typically used for safety devices or hazardous liquid storage), which visually signals to operators and forklift drivers the presence of a heavy or special load in transit, reducing the risks of accidental impact.

Is it necessary to combine this support with a collection tank for liquids?

From the point of view of environmental regulations and workplace safety, the storage and horizontal decanting of dangerous fluids, waste oils or chemical substances contained in 220-liter drums strictly requires the adoption of secondary containment systems. This support is geometrically compatible for being positioned above steel or polyethylene collection tanks, ensuring that any dripping or spills during dispensing are intercepted in accordance with the law.
