OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Lifting Solution for Fibre Drums

The Wire Wizard FDL-21 Drum Lifter is a specialized material handling accessory developed to address the specific needs of the welding industry. Bulk welding wire is often shipped in fibre drums that can weigh up to 1000 lbs. Moving these drums safely requires equipment that is both robust and precise. The FDL-21 meets these requirements perfectly, offering a 1000 lb load capacity and a design tailored for fibre drum rims. This tool is a must-have for fabrication centers, automotive plants, and heavy equipment manufacturers where bulk wire usage is standard.

Rugged Construction and Safety Features

Safety is paramount when lifting heavy loads overhead. The FDL-21 is manufactured by Wire Wizard, a trusted name in wire feeding and dispensing solutions. It features a durable steel construction that resists bending and wear under load. The lifting mechanism is designed to engage the drum securely, preventing accidental slips or drops that could result in injury or damaged inventory. The unit attaches easily to standard shop hoists or forklift hooks, making it a versatile addition to your existing material handling equipment.

Efficiency in the welding cell is often dictated by how quickly consumables can be replenished. The FDL-21 speeds up this process significantly. The integrated handles provide the operator with excellent leverage and control when attaching or detaching the lifter. This minimizes the physical effort required and allows for precise placement of drums onto wire feeders or de-reeling stations. Instead of struggling with makeshift lifting methods, your team can rely on the FDL-21 for consistent, safe performance.

Compatible with most standard fibre drums used for MIG and flux-cored wire, this lifter is a versatile asset. Its compact design means it doesn't take up excessive storage space when not in use, yet it is always ready to perform heavy lifting tasks. Equip your facility with the Wire Wizard FDL-21 to ensure your wire handling processes are as professional and efficient as your welding.
