Drum Clamps

Forklifts are really used to move, lift and store products placed on pallets. For businesses that make use of drums, they often require an attachment so as to handle lifting, moving and storing them. There are some various attachments that a company could use for all your drum storing, lifting and moving needs. These attachments are specially meant so as to handle drum containers - therefore there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container when they are moved, lifted or stored.

Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is accessible in three and four tine models. They are used for the loading and unloading of drums off drum stands, racks and vehicles. This particular attachment is fully automatic, thus enabling the operator to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This particular accessory is intended for drum pyramid stacking.

The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Even if 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 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.

The Rotator
The drum rotator is another forklift accessory that mounts onto the forks themselves. Their purpose is to be able to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp which fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is used for operations that occur beneath shoulder level. For operations that must occur higher than shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be used.

Drum tines are simple fork mounted accessory that could be designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing intricate, only easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.

Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in both automatic and semi-automatic versions that can be used in the tight head and open topped steel drum styles. The drum tongs could also be attached in many different ways to the forklift. One way is to connect them under a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.

Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect alternative for forklift attachments, when there is a need to store drums with inadequate space obtainable. This accessory could be used on either 120L and 210L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using metal jaws to grab the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without requiring any room between the drums. The average model in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, though, this accessory comes available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
