The Drum Gripper makes it easy to pick up one or two open head (with lid installed and secured) and closed head steel drums without leaving the seat of the fork truck.

Simply slip the forks into the fork tubes, fasten the safety restraint and the Drum Gripper is ready to go. The knuckle gripping system is lowered around the drum, gripped tightly, and then lifted into the air. Drum is automatically released by lowering the forks. All models feature hinged folding design for storage. Safety restraint included. Welded steel construction with a baked-in powder-coated toughness.

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.

All measurements are approximate. Slight variations, tolerances or changes may occur at any time. Weights shown are approximate shipping weights.
