Our drum lifters are designed for universal forklift compatibility. They slide easily onto standard forks and are secured using heavy-duty safety chains or T-bolts. Whether you use a reach truck, a counterbalance forklift, or a telehandler, our attachments integrate seamlessly without the need for hydraulic or electrical modifications。
The Eagle Grip (anchor-type) secures the drum by its top rim (chime), using the load’s weight to lock it in place—ideal for heavy liquids and hazardous materials. Waist-clamping lifters grip the drum’s middle using curved arms, which is perfect for lighter loads or when you need to rotate and pour contents.
Our Eagle Grip clamping lifters are excellent for both steel and plastic drums as they only touch the reinforced rim. For waist-clamping models, we offer specialized rubber-lined arms to provide a secure grip.
