These drum handlers come with a cinch chain and ratchet tightener to manually secure the drum in the holder. Fork mounted drum grippers from Vestil allow the operator to pick up one or two open & closed head steel drums without leaving the seat of the fork truck.These drum grippers feature a knuckle gripping system to offer a tight grip around the drum so that it can be lifted in the air safely. Choose from a wide range of fork mounted drum handling equipment, available for a max load capacity up to 2500 lb.

  • Attach the drum to the jaws / grip of the unit.
  • Lift the drum and then move the forklift to the desired dispensing location.
  • Control the tilt of the drum manually or using battery powered controls.
  • After pouring the drum content, move the drum to its untitled position & then lower the drum to the ground level.
  • Remove the drums from the drum handler forklift attachment. Remove the attachment from the forks. Securely store the units for future use.
