Standard Drum Lifting and Handling Attachment for Forklifts
The ideal entry-level/basic drum lifter and handler attachment for low to medium movement of steel drums around the factory or store with a forklift truck.
Fully automatic in operation, the grab simply locates underneath the 'rolling hoops' of the drum and tightens its grip once lifting commences. No manual handling of drums is required, thus reducing the risk of injury whilst increasing on-site Health & Safety.
With heavy-duty zinc-plated screw clamps for securing the drum handler safely to the lift truck forks, this drum handler is a simple, low-cost yet effective attachment for carrying out your drum handling operations, and like all our forklift attachments, will come fully tested and certified to comply with the latest Health & Safety Regulations.
Features
- 250kg, 500kg and 1000kg capacity options available
- The 'entry-level' drum grab has been designed especially for the handling of steel drums with rolling hoops.
- Medium duty.
- Simple to use, fully automatic operation.
- The simple-to-use automatic drum clamp has quick-slide two-position adjustment to allow handling of 110L or 210L steel drums with rolling hoops or 210/220 'L' or 'XL' style plastic drums (model dependent), where contents have high mass to volume ratios, such as powders, metals, etc.
- The lost load centre is measured from the tip of the forks
- 'CE' marked.
