Drum Lifters Forklift Attachment

The DLM50 Forklift Drum Lifter lifts and transports standard 205L steel drums with rolled hoops. Its automatic clamping mechanism lets forklift operators safely handle drums without leaving the driver's seat.

Features of DLM50 Forklift Drum Lifter:

• Adjustable drum support arms accommodate slight variations in drum diameter, ensuring maximum contact with the drum surface for secure lifting and transportation.
• Automatic drum engagement lets the operator approach the drum with the forklift, position the support arms around it, and then lift vertically to engage the gripping mechanism.
• Automatic clamping mechanism grips the drum beneath its upper centre rib as the forklift raises the attachment, eliminating the need for manual clamping or locking.
• Load-responsive clamping action applies gripping force as the drum is lifted, helping maintain a secure hold during handling.
• Hands-free drum release lets the operator lower the drum onto a suitable surface, lower the attachment approximately 100mm further, and reverse the forklift to automatically disengage the support arms.
• Safety chain attachment secures the Drum Lifter to the forklift carriage or mast, preventing it from sliding off the forklift tynes.
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for industrial applications.
• The operator-friendly design lets the operator lift, transport, and release standard 205L steel drums without leaving the forklift seat.
