Forklift Drum Attachment

Turn Your Forklift into a Powerful Drum Handler instantly

Standard forklifts are excellent for pallets; however, they are dangerous and inefficient when used to move drums. attempting to balance a round drum on flat forks often leads to accidents. Therefore, the Forklift Drum Lifter Attachment by Meeginz Industries is the essential upgrade for your existing fleet. Specifically, this mechanical attachment slides easily onto your forklift forks, instantly converting the vehicle into a secure drum handling machine.

Unlike hydraulic attachments that require complex hose connections, our system is purely mechanical. Consequently, it utilizes an automatic “Parrot Beak” clamping mechanism that locks onto the drum rim as soon as it is lifted. Furthermore, this design allows the driver to lift, transport, and release drums without ever leaving the driver’s seat. Ultimately, this attachment maximizes the utility of your forklift while significantly improving safety and speed in your warehouse.

Why Choose Our Forklift Drum Attachment?

1. Instant Installation

Time is critical in logistics. Fortunately, installing this attachment takes less than a minute. Simply drive the forks into the attachment pockets and secure the safety chain to the forklift carriage. Thus, you can switch between handling pallets and handling drums effortlessly. Therefore, you do not need to invest in a separate, expensive drum lifting machine.

2. Automatic Mechanical Grip

Simplicity ensures reliability. Because this unit operates mechanically, there are no hydraulic pipes or electric wires to connect. Specifically, the gripping mechanism is actuated by gravity and the weight of the drum itself. As a result, the heavier the drum, the tighter the grip. Consequently, maintenance requirements are virtually zero.

3. High Efficiency (Single or Dual)

Productivity matters. For high-volume operations, we offer a Double Drum model. This allows your forklift operator to move two 200-liter drums simultaneously. In contrast, manual handling would require two workers and double the time. Hence, this attachment drastically reduces labor costs and turnaround time.

4. Universal Compatibility

Your inventory may vary. However, the Meeginz drum grab is versatile. It is designed to handle standard 210-liter Mild Steel (MS) drums. Additionally, it works perfectly with HDPE (Plastic) drums that have a standard “L-ring” or top rim. Therefore, it is a one-stop solution for mixed inventory warehouses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will this fit my specific forklift? A: Generally, yes. The fork pockets are designed to fit standard Class II and Class III forks. However, please provide your fork dimensions (width and thickness) when ordering so we can ensure a perfect fit.

Q: Can it lift plastic drums? A: Yes, provided the plastic drum has a top rim or “L-Ring.” The beak needs a lip to grab onto. If you have smooth-sided plastic drums, we recommend a different type of waist-gripper attachment.

Q: Does the driver need to get out to release the drum? A: No. The mechanical system is automatic. Once the drum is placed on the ground and the forks are lowered slightly, the beak automatically unlocks. Thus, the process is completely touchless.
