Sturdy cradle for heavy loads

This cradle is a lifesaver in my line of work. I needed something that could handle heavy loads and this product does just that. Industrial and Scientific, it's solidly built with locking wheels that keep everything in place. After I put it to the test, I was impressed with how smoothly it rolled and how sturdy it remained. One downside is the price, but with its durability, I know it will pay off in the long run.

Pros
  • Sturdy, can handle heavy loads
Cons
  • Pricey

Does the job

Instructions are a joke. too large. Why After assembly, the block does not sit on four wheels. Only suitable for standard metal kegs. Not good for drums that use a metal clamp ring to close. Plastic kegs are almost impossible. It is very easy to turn the drum on its side. You want a big but. I weigh 240 pounds so my leverage will be significant.

Pros
  • Non-sparking, oil and chemical resistant wheels mounted on the inside of the frame
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Poor guide, but common sense will help you.

Instructions show spacer not included or shown on Revain page. It's okay, strong and without it. The brackets that hold the lever bar are shown in the instructions and in the picture, both in one direction. If you install them this way, the lever will fall out of the brackets when not in use. Rotate both brackets so they face the center and they will hold the bar properly. Happy with it, does what it's supposed to.

Pros
  • 4 x 2.5" polyolefin wheels
Cons
  • Slightly torn
