Types of Drum Handling Attachments

Choosing the Right Attachment for Your Operation

Finding the best forklift drum attachment depends on your drum type, handling needs, and site setup. Start with the basics: steel or plastic drum? Standard 205L or smaller? Next, consider your task: simple lifting, tipping, or full 360° rotation. Beak grip lifters work well for standard steel drums, while spade handlers suit tapered or irregular shapes.

If you’re tipping heavy drums regularly, a hydraulic or chain-drive rotator offers added safety and control. Opt for attachments that reduce manual strain and boost efficiency for high-frequency use. Always check load capacity and forklift compatibility, including fork pocket spacing and carriage width.
