Featuring welded steel construction and a powder-coated finish, the Drum Gripper line of forklift attachments by Vestil Manufacturing makes it easy to pick up one or two steel drums without leaving the seat of the fork truck.
The knuckle gripping system is lowered around the drum, gripped tightly and then lifted up; lowering the forks automatically releases the drum. Load capacities range from 800 to 2,000 pounds.
For storage, all models feature hinged arms that fold inward for storage. Some models have adjustable-width arms for use with 30- and 55-gallon steel drums, another can be used with either steel or plastic drums. A safety restraint is included.
