- Factories and production sites

- Food production and processing facilities

- Plant yards and maintenance workshops
- Waste handling and recycling sites

Before Ordering
Before ordering, check that your drum type, drum size, drum profile, combined loaded drum weight, forklift capacity and fork dimensions are suitable for this attachment. Universal does not mean suitable for every drum; compatibility depends on the drum shape, rim, rolling hoop and how the attachment grips the drum.
You should also confirm whether you need to move one drum at a time or two drums together. The forklift truck must have enough rated capacity for the drums, attachment and working conditions.
Dual Universal Drum Grab or Standard Drum Grab?
A standard steel drum grab is usually suitable where you only handle compatible steel drums with rolling hoops. A universal drum grab is better suited to sites handling a mix of compatible steel and plastic drums. This dual universal model is the higher-volume option where one or two compatible drums may need to be moved with the same attachment.
Dual Universal Drum Grab or Single Universal Drum Grab?
A single universal drum grab is usually suitable for occasional movement of individual compatible drums. A dual universal drum grab is better suited to busier sites where moving two drums at once can reduce the number of forklift trips, provided the total load remains within the forklift and attachment capacity.
Forklift Drum Grab or Drum Rotator?
This product is designed for lifting and moving 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 transporting drums around site.
