What is a Drum Handler Attachment?
A Drum handler attachment is a specific type of forklift attachment which is designed for use on forklift trucks. They are used to turn your forklift truck into a piece of equipment which is used to handle and transport cylindrical containers (such as steel, fiber and plastic drums and barrels). Typically the attachment utilises spring-loaded metal arms to ensure a tight and very secure grip around the drum.
Drum handlers, when in the context of a forklift attachment, are typically used to efficiently (and safely) load and unload different sizes and different types of drums. They utilise clamps as well as spring-loaded arms to ensure a very secure grip to allow for safe transportation of the drums. They can also have various functions which only increase their variability and therefore overall usage potential.
various functions include
carrier with a tilt function, carrier without a tilt function, waist type, rim type and multi-drum carrier.
The ‘tilt function’ allows for more maneuverability when transporting the drums, and also typically allows for easier positioning as they can use the tilt function to pick up (or put down) drums which are in awkward positions. Drum handler attachments which do not utilise this are limited in terms of the extra maneuverability but still perform the same overall function.
The ‘waist-type’ attachment is an attachment which lifts the drum by using a ‘clamp band’ which clamps down around the ‘waist’ of the drum and then can lift it. This can be a lot easier than the traditional spring-mounted arms method as it provides an alternative way of lifting the drum so it depends on how you’re looking to lift your drum; this clamp allows for more leeway and easier re-positioning than the spring-loaded arms, so it really just depends on how you want to setup your attachment with your forklift forthwith how you wish to transport the drum.
There are various different factors to consider when you’re choosing which drum handler to use as drum handlers come in different types, models and sizes. You should choose your drum handler based on the drum you’re trying to lift or move. You should consider the following: the weight of the drum, the size of the drum, the dimensions of the drum, the type of drum, the capacity of the forklift and the size of the area you have to work with.
