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.

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.
