This forklift drum handler easily mounts onto forklift forks with no tools, power connections or forklift modifications needed. Hinged metal bands and a toggle clamp closure secure the drum in the dumper. A 20 foot pull chain loop provides for drum tilt control from the seat of the forklift (provides a 10 foot drop of chain for operator to rotate drum).

Optional adaptors are available for handling plastic, fiber, and smaller diameter drums – see options below.
