Drum Clamp - Forklifts are actually designed to store, move and lift items placed on pallets. For facilities that utilize drums, they usually require an attachment to deal with moving, storing and lifting them. There are a few different attachments that a business can use for all your drum lifting, moving, and storing requirements. These attachments are particularly meant so as to deal with drum containers - therefore there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container whenever they are moved, lifted or stored.

The drum positioner can be utilized to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are accessible in three and four tine models. This attachment is fully mechanical, hence enabling the individual operating it to be able to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move steel, large and extra large plastic drums, its capacity is 210 liters. This particular attachment is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Though the original purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums too. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is actually a lift truck accessory that mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator using a steel clamp which fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is done by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is intended for operations which take place beneath shoulder level. For operations that must take place above shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be used.
Drum tines are simple fork mounted accessory which can be designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing elaborate, merely simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements lessen the load center of the drums.

Drum tongs are obtainable both automatic and semi-automatic units that can be utilized in the tight head and open topped metal drum styles. The drum tongs could also be attached several various ways to the lift truck. One way is to connect them under a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Both the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect choice for forklift attachments, whenever there is a necessity to store drums with inadequate space available.
