The Vestil FMDL-2-LDS-B1 Automatic Eagle Beak Drum Lifter is designed to allow the forklift operator to easily grab, transport, and release two single 55 gallon or 30 gallon drums weighing up to 1,000 LBS without ever having to leave the forklift. This forklift drum handler may be used with open or closed head steel, plastic, and fiber drums that have a top lip strong enough to support the weight of the drum. Ratchet straps secure the drums for transport over rugged terrain. Drum handler features fork pockets that measure 7½" wide x 2½" high and includes a safety restraint to secure it to the forklift. The belts covering the drum saddles help prevent scratching and denting of the drums during transport. The Vestil FMDL-2-LDS-B1 forklift drum handler is made of all steel with a durable powder coat finish for years of reliable use.
This Eagle Beak Drum Handler can be ordered to also handle 85 gallon drums under certain circumstances. Contact HOF Equipment with your application information.
