A forklift drum rotator lets you lift a drum, carry it to where it's needed and tip it to pour or empty the contents under control, without lifting or tipping the drum by hand. It takes 210 litre steel drums and plastic drums with an 'L' or 'XL' ring, up to 360kg, and fits onto your forklift forks.
The drum sits in a braced steel girdle and is held in with two webbing ratchet straps. A gearbox turns the drum, so you can tip it gradually for a controlled pour. Choose a crank handle to turn it at the attachment, or a loop chain that hangs down from the gearbox so the drum can be turned while it's raised out of reach. Large T screws hold the rotator in its fork pockets.

Before You Order
Choose the rotation method first. The crank handle suits pouring at a height you can reach, while the loop chain lets you turn the drum from below when it's raised higher. Then check your drums: the rotator takes 210 litre steel drums and plastic drums with an 'L' or 'XL' ring, up to 360kg including the contents. If you're not sure your drums will suit, tell us the drum type and we'll check before you order.
Finally, check your forks and truck. The fork pockets take forks up to 140mm wide and 50mm thick, and the forks need to be 965mm apart, measured outside to outside. Make sure your forklift is rated for a full drum plus the weight of the rotator, and ask your forklift dealer for the truck's capacity with the attachment fitted if you're unsure. Delivery is usually 7 to 10 working days.
Other Drum Handling Attachments
If you only need to move drums, not pour them, the forklift drum grab and universal forklift drum grab are simpler and cheaper, and the rim grip forklift drum grab lifts drums that are packed tightly together.
