Drum Tumbler. Tilt-To-Load.
The Morse Tilt-To-Load Drum Tumbler is unique, in as much as it allows an operator to load a 200 Ltr steel, fibre or plastic drum onto the floor platen – at floor level, using just a drum trolley.
Drum sizes can range from 737 mm – 940 mm high x 457 mm – 597 mm in diameter.
After the drum is secured around it’s girth, the operator tilts the drum to the working angle, using the hydraulic lift system, then rotation ‘corner to corner’ can begin.
Speed is variable between 5 – 20 rpm, so you can gently tumble the contents together, or vigorously mix, according to your needs.
As a general rule of thumb, the less product in the drum, the slower you go, as there is a ‘sloshing’ effect being created. The more air there is in the drum, the worse it is.
Explosion proof (American approved – not the same as Australian) and air models available for those industries that require special needs.
The Morse Tilt-To-Load Drum Rotators are the most rugged on the market. Morse has a 50 year old reputation for producing quality drum handling products that won’t let you down, and provide the thorough mixing your products require.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a drum tumbler used for?
A: A drum tumbler is used to mix or blend the contents of a drum, whether it’s liquid, powder, or granular, by slowly rotating the drum over a set period. It’s commonly used in manufacturing, processing, and waste management settings.
Q: Can this model handle full 205L drums?
A: Yes, the Tilt-To-Load Drum Tumbler is rated to handle full steel or plastic 205L drums, up to a typical weight of 300-500kg, depending on the product type.
Q: Does the drum need to be clamped in place?
A: Absolutely. The tumbler uses heavy-duty clamping arms to hold the drum securely during operation. This prevents slipping or movement during mixing.
Q: Is it electrically powered or manual?
A: This model is powered by an electric motor and includes controls for speed and time adjustment, offering reliable and consistent operation.
Q: Is the unit safe for use in a busy warehouse or production line?
A: Yes. The enclosed frame and tilt-to-load system minimise exposure to moving parts. Optional safety guards and emergency shut-offs are available depending on your site requirements.
Q: How long does the mixing process take?
A: That depends on the material. Some products may only need a few minutes; others could benefit from extended blending. The timer lets you set exact durations for consistent results.
Q: Can I use the drum tumbler for hazardous materials?
A: In most cases, yes, but we recommend checking local OH&S and chemical storage regulations first. We can also help with explosion-proof models if required.
Q: Do I need a forklift to load the drum?
A: Not for this model. The Tilt-To-Load feature means you can load drums directly with minimal lifting or assistance. However, a forklift may still be useful for positioning full drums nearby.
Q: Can I see the drum tumbler in person before ordering?
A: Yes. You’re welcome to visit our showroom in Bayswater, VIC, to inspect the unit or get a hands-on demo. Call ahead to confirm stock availability.
Q: How do I order a drum tumbler?
A: Contact Ron directly on (03) 9720 0425 or email ron@kinggroup.com.au. We’ll confirm the right setup for your application and organise prompt delivery.
