The YL600 series is a fully electric drum truck designed to lift, transport, rotate, and dispense 210-liter (55-gallon) steel and plastic drums. With a 600kg load capacity and 2,400mm lifting height, this battery-powered drum forklift series eliminates manual handling through all-electric drive, lift, and—on select models—electric rotation.
Manufactured by Guangdong Maihui Machine Co., Ltd., the YL600, YL600A, and YL600B are stand-on, operator-ridden drum forklifts suited for warehouses, chemical facilities, food processing plants, and any environment requiring safe, efficient drum handling.
The YL600 series is a battery-powered drum handling solution that replaces manual drum movement. Using an imported electric vehicle-grade walking control system, the drum truck enables a single operator to drive, lift, tilt, and rotate heavy drums with minimal physical effort. All three models share a 600kg capacity and 2,400mm lifting height, and differ primarily in their clamping and rotating mechanisms.
The YL600 series includes three distinct configurations. Choosing the right model depends on the level of automation required for your drum-handling workflow:
YL600 – Electric clamping and electric rotating (up to 135° drum rotation). Best suited for operations that require full automation with minimal manual input at the drum interface.
YL600A – Manual clamping with electric rotating (360° full rotation). Optional remote control for lifting and rotating. Best suited for environments where operators need flexible, hands-on drum positioning with powered rotation.
YL600B – Electric lifting with eagle-grip gator attachment. Optional single or double gator grip drum grabber. Best suited for applications requiring secure, positive drum gripping without full rotation.
600kg rated load capacity — handles standard 210L (55-gallon) steel and plastic drums
2,400mm lifting height — enables stacking and elevated dispensing
All-electric operation — electric drive, electric lift, and electric rotation (model-dependent)
Stand-on design — single-operator control with manned pedal for improved maneuverability
Imported EV-grade walking control system — smooth, precise directional control
Electromagnetic braking — reliable, responsive stopping
Polyurethane tires — floor-friendly, low-noise operation
Noise level below 70 dB(A) — suitable for indoor and noise-sensitive environments
24V / 240Ah battery — sustained performance across full shifts
Optional remote control (YL600A) — lifting and rotating from a safe distance

Q: What types of drums can the YL600 electric drum truck handle?
The YL600 series is designed for 210-liter (55-gallon) steel and plastic drums. The eagle-grip gator attachment on the YL600B provides additional clamping security for drums of varying surface conditions.
Q: What is the difference between a drum truck and a drum forklift?
A drum truck is a compact, pedestrian or stand-on unit purpose-built for moving and tilting individual drums. A drum forklift typically refers to the same category of equipment—sometimes called a drum handler or drum lifter—that adds powered lifting capability. The YL600 series functions as a full electric drum forklift, combining transport, lifting, and rotation in a single unit.
Q: Can the YL600A be operated by remote control?
Yes. The YL600A supports an optional remote control accessory for both lifting and rotating functions, which is useful in environments where operators need to maintain distance from the drum during dispensing or pouring.
Q: How long does the battery last on a single charge?
Battery runtime depends on operational intensity, load frequency, and surface conditions. The 24V / 240Ah battery is sized for heavy industrial use. Contact Maihui Machine directly for cycle-time estimates specific to your application.
Q: Is the YL600 series suitable for use on inclines?
The YL600 series supports a maximum grade ability of 3% when fully loaded and 5% when unloaded. It is not recommended for use on steeper inclines.
