Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.

The Rotator
The drum rotator is actually a forklift attachment which mounts on to the blades themselves. The objective of the drum rotator is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator utilizing a steel clamp which fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is used for operations which occur below shoulder level. For operations that must occur over shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be utilized.

Drum tines are straightforward fork mounted accessory that can be designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing elaborate, just simple horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments decrease the load center of the drums.

Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both automatic and semi-automatic models which can be used in the open topped and tight head steel drum styles. The drum tongs can even be connected in many different ways to the lift truck. One method is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.

Rim Grip Handler
Whenever drums need storage space with limited area available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the perfect alternative in drum forklift attachments. This particular attachment would work for either the two hundred ten liter drums along with one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing metal jaws to be able to grab the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without needing any room between the drums. The average model in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this attachment comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
