Fork Mounted Drum Handling Equipment

Fork mounted drum handling equipment is mounted on forks to allow forklifts to lift and carry steel and poly drums. The equipment includes drum lifters, stackers, carriers, drum grabs, gloves, drum grips, forklift forks, drum handlers, rackers and gator belts. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of fork mounted drum handling equipment from brands like Dayton, Valley Craft, Morse, Wesco and Vestil. Morse forklift drum handlers feature a rotator that can turn a drum 360 degrees in either direction and a pull chain to control the drum tilt. 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.

Working Mechanism

  • Securely mount these forklift drum attachments on the forks of a forklift.
  • 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.

What is the load capacity of these fork-mounted drum handling equipment?

These forklift drum attachments can lift loads ranging from 700 to 4000 lb.

How do I attach and operate Vestil FDG Series fork mounted drum grippers?

Slide the drum gripper onto the forklift forks, secure it in place and engage the arms around the drum. The gripper may be operated manually or through hydraulic controls, which should also be outlined in the user manual.

What safety precautions should be taken when using drum lifter forklift attachments?

Operators should be trained in their proper use, including securing the drum correctly and maintaining stability during lifting and transport. Regular inspections of the attachment for wear and damage are also crucial.
