Drum Handling Attachments
Drum handling attachments fit a forklift for lifting and moving steel and plastic drums, using lateral clamps, overhead hooks, lower cradles or rotator heads that tilt or turn the drum. They differ from general forklift clamps in being built around drum shape and rim; manual drum trolleys and drum pumps are listed elsewhere. Selection is based on drum type, diameter and rim, number of drums handled at once, gripping mechanism and documented capacity.

About this category
Drum handling attachments are forklift attachments that allow a forklift to handle cylindrical industrial drums that vary between steel drums, polymer drums, open-head and closed-head drums, and in diameter and capacity by application. Models differ in the drum-handling mechanism; types include lateral-clamp attachments, overhead-hook attachments, lower-cradle attachments and rotating attachments that allow tilting or rotating the drum depending on design. A single mechanism should not be assumed across the category, because the appropriate design depends on drum type, drum shape and application requirements. Models differ in the number of drums the attachment can handle at one time (single drum, double drum or more depending on design). Attachment rated capacity varies between models and is defined in the manufacturer's documentation. Compatibility between the attachment and the target drum must be verified in external diameter, rim type and any dedicated gripping points. The category name does not imply that every attachment can rotate or tilt: rotational motion is a design feature specific to rotator variants. Manual drum trolleys and drum pumps are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select drum handling attachment models based on drum type, gripping mechanism, documented capacity and mounting compatibility with the forklift.
