A helicopter logistics company in WA reached out to us, facing the challenge of safely transporting 200l drums of jet fuel over 1600km on one of Australia’s most demanding roads. The transport of such highly flammable liquids poses significant safety concerns on Australian roads, and they were seeking a solution for the safe conveyance of these drums.

The engineer tasked with ensuring safe transit conducted an online search for solutions and discovered Drumclip. Upon receiving further details from us about Drumclip, he was convinced of its suitability and proceeded to place an order for our clips.

Feedback

We always receive the amazing feedback whenever companies try our Drumclips. The feedback this time, yet again, was short but sweet.

Hi team,
I just thought I would let you know how our ‘drum clips’ were going. This is 10 200L drums of jet A1 fuel (2 tons) after 1600 k Perth-Norseman-Perth over some of the most horrific road imaginable. Drums haven’t moved, or turned. Incredible stuff. Here are the before and after photos we took. Feel free to share on your website.

More about Drumclip

The Drumclip is a certified and innovative solution for securing drums to a pallet and trailer, making the transportation of 200l drums safe and straightforward. These clips are uniquely effective, outperforming other tools designed to hold drums in place.

No spinning

Drumclip also prevents drums from spinning or turning, a common issue during long transits in harsh conditions. Spinning or turning often results in the drums spinning a hole straight through the pallet. Consequently, the tie-down straps will lose tension, leaving the drums unsecured. This creates a hazardous situation!

A solution for your entire distribution line – From filling station to end-user

Drumclip allows you to safely and efficiently store, move and transport drums containing chemicals, ink, glue or food concentrates. Securing the drums at the filling line prevents damage, loss, and accidents across the entire distribution chain. The only remaining step before trailer transport is for the truck driver to install and fasten the ratchet straps between the rims on the drum clips.

A simple, effective and certified solution that saves you a lot of time and money in the rest of the distribution chain with a minimal investment.
