Fitted with heavy-duty, zinc-plated screw clamps, this Forklift Drum Grab can make awkward drum transport as simple as grab and go.
Featuring a straight-forward design for simplistic operation, this product provides a quick and efficient solution to any drum moving task.
Easily attachable to any standard forklift, this forklift attachment has a maximum working load of 450kg, perfectly suitable for 30/55 gallon drums.
Specifically designed to vertically hoist steel drums for upright transportation, the DCV500 has the unique benefit of allowing transportation of drums with or without their lids attached. The clamp is simply attached to the rim of the drum for safe, secure transit.
Its modest, lightweight design makes the DCV500 ideal for lifting drums from compact spaces, such as those organised tightly on pallets. At just 7kg in weight, it’s also surprisingly strong, capable of handling a working load limit 500kg.
Boasting a fully automated rim grip for unrivalled efficiency, these versatile fork-mounted lifting jaws provide safe and reliable transport of both open and closed top drums.
Perfectly suitable for new and damaged drums alike, the hardened steel jaws lift from the rim with a fully automated action, allowing the driver to safely operate the lift without leaving his/her seat.
Available in single drum (IRG-1) or double drum (IRG-2) models, the bright-orange rim grip also features zinc-plated twist screws for secure forklift attachment.
The IRG-1 Single Drum Rim Grip has an overall lifting capacity of 750kg, while the IRG-2 Double Drum Rim Grip logically has a capacity to lift double that at 1500kg.
Optional extras include rubber pads to limit potential damage to drum rim, while stainless steel versions are also available for zoned areas.
