These attachments are specially utilized to deal with drum containers - thus there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container when they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab

This attachment is totally automatic, hence allowing the person operating it to operate all from the comfort of the forklift seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This attachment is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops.

Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is one more forklift accessory that mounts onto the forks themselves. Their objective is to be able to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down.
