Before Ordering
Before ordering, check that your drum type, drum size, combined loaded drum weight, forklift capacity and fork dimensions are suitable for this attachment. This model is designed for compatible steel drums with rolling hoops and should not be assumed suitable for plastic drums, fibre drums or other drum profiles unless confirmed.
You should also consider whether you need to move one drum at a time or two drums at once. For lighter or occasional drum movement, a single drum grab may be more suitable. For higher-volume drum handling, a dual drum grab can help reduce the number of forklift trips required.
Dual Drum Grab or Single Drum Grab?
A single drum grab is usually enough where drums are moved occasionally or where space is limited. A dual drum grab is better suited to sites handling drums more frequently, especially where moving two drums at once can save time without exceeding the forklift truck’s rated capacity.
Forklift Drum Grab or Drum Rotator?
This product is designed for lifting and transporting drums. If you need to pour, empty or rotate drums, a forklift drum rotator or drum tipper may be more suitable. A drum grab is usually the simpler option when the main requirement is moving drums safely around site.
