Forklift Drum Grippers for Safe Steel and Plastic Drum Handling

Forklift drum grippers provide a fast and efficient solution for lifting, transporting, and positioning steel and plastic drums without requiring operators to leave the fork truck seat. Designed for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, chemical plants, and industrial material handling operations, these drum handling attachments improve productivity while reducing manual drum movement and operator strain.

Key Features & Benefits

Built with rugged welded steel construction and a durable powder-coated finish, these forklift drum grabbers use a knuckle gripping system that securely grips drums during transport and automatically releases them when lowered. Models are available for handling single or double drums, including adjustable-width versions compatible with both 30-gallon and 55-gallon steel or plastic drums with top rings or ridges. Integrated fork pockets, fork locks, and safety restraint straps help ensure secure attachment to forklifts during operation. Hinged folding designs allow easier storage when not in use.

Applications & Configurations

Available in multiple capacities and drum configurations, these industrial drum grippers are ideal for shipping, storage, recycling, and production environments where efficient drum handling is critical. Single-drum models remain popular for everyday forklift drum transport, while dual-drum units increase productivity in high-volume operations.  Models DGS-A, DGD-A, and DGS-A-PSD features adjustable-width arms for use with both 30-gallon and 55-gallon steel and plastic drums (with top ring or top ridge). Safety restraint included. Welded steel construction with a baked-in powder-coated toughness.
