Quick Assembly Design with Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
The DG40 forklift drum attachments feature a rapid installation system that easily slides onto standard forklift forks and secures with simple hand screws, requiring no hydraulic or electrical connections. These robust forklift drum attachments utilize heavy-duty steel construction to ensure long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments. The streamlined assembly process allows operators to quickly convert standard forklifts into specialized drum handling equipment without tools or complex installation procedures, maximizing equipment versatility and operational efficiency.
Automatic Self-Loading Pressure System for Secure Drum Transport
Engineered with an intelligent automatic pressure application system, these forklift drum attachments use the weight of loaded drums to generate firm gripping pressure that maintains secure positioning throughout transport operations. The self-adjusting mechanism of these forklift drum attachments automatically engages during lifting and releases upon drum deposit, ensuring consistent grip performance without operator intervention. This automatic system eliminates manual adjustments while providing reliable drum security across various transport conditions and surface types.
Multi-Drum Compatibility with Operator-Centric Design
The DG40 forklift drum attachments accommodate various drum types including steel and plastic containers while supporting different drum sizes for maximum operational flexibility. These versatile forklift drum attachments enable complete drum handling operations from the operator’s seated position, eliminating the need to dismount the forklift during lifting, transporting, and depositing procedures. This operator-centric design significantly improves handling efficiency while reducing manual labor requirements and enhancing workplace safety through minimized physical drum contact.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of forklift drum attachments are available?
There are two main types of forklift drum attachments: steel grippers that grasp the body of the drum, and beam drum grippers that attach to the rim of the drum. There are also various styles such as multi-purpose drum lifts, horizontal drum carriers, fork-mounted drum lifters, and automatic Eagle Beak drum lifters.
How much weight can forklift drum attachments lift?
Depending on the style and model, forklift drum attachments can typically lift between 750 pounds to 4,000 pounds, accommodating different drum materials and sizes.
What types of drums can forklift drum attachments handle?
These attachments can lift different kinds of drums including steel, poly, and fiber drums, with options for lifting closed head, removable top drums, and rimmed plastic drums.
How do forklift drum attachments connect and operate on a forklift?
The forklifts’ forks fit into pockets on the attachment, which is then secured with a safety chain. Operators control the attachment using a pull-chain loop while seated, allowing for lifting, rotating, and positioning drums safely and efficiently.
What are the safety features of forklift drum attachments?
Forklift drum attachments include OSHA-approved safety chains and meet ANSI/ITSDF safety standards. They often have safety yellow powder coating for durability and visibility. Proper operator training and attachment securement are essential for safe operation.
