These drum handlers come with a cinch chain and ratchet tightener to manually secure the drum in the holder. Fork mounted drum grippers from Vestil allow the operator to pick up one or two open & closed head steel drums without leaving the seat of the fork truck.These drum grippers feature a knuckle gripping system to offer a tight grip around the drum so that it can be lifted in the air safely. Choose from a wide range of fork mounted drum handling equipment, available for a max load capacity up to 2500 lb.

  • Attach the drum to the jaws / grip of the unit.
  • Lift the drum and then move the forklift to the desired dispensing location.
  • Control the tilt of the drum manually or using battery powered controls.
  • After pouring the drum content, move the drum to its untitled position & then lower the drum to the ground level.
  • Remove the drums from the drum handler forklift attachment. Remove the attachment from the forks. Securely store the units for future use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lift two drums at the same time?

Yes, Morse offers multiple forklift drum attachments that can lift two drums simultaneously.

What are Wesco Gator Grips?

Wesco Gator Grips are used for automatically picking up drums without the forklift driver / user ever leaving their seat. They also feature a patented Auto Grip Lock facility for automatically locking the jaws and maintaining a positive lock over the drums, even over rough terrain.
