Heavy Duty Adjustable Fork Mounted Drum Grabbers for Two 30, 55, or 85 Gallon Drums – Model 8VF2285
When you need to move more drums in less time, this double drum grabber gets it done. The heavy duty adjustable fork mounted drum grabber is built to lift, carry, and set down two steel drums at once without the operator leaving the forklift seat.
This model adjusts to handle 30, 55, or 85 gallon steel drums, making it a flexible solution for facilities that work with mixed drum sizes. It mounts directly onto standard forklift forks and grips each drum securely during lifting and transport. Once the drums are set down, the grabber releases cleanly with no manual handling.
By moving two drums in one trip, you cut handling time and reduce forklift traffic. That means faster workflow and fewer chances for spills or accidents. The adjustable design also reduces the need for multiple attachments, saving space and equipment costs.
The grabber is built from welded steel for long-term durability in demanding environments. It’s rated for 3,000 lbs total capacity, or 1,500 lbs per drum, which covers most steel drums used for liquids, chemicals, oils, and bulk materials.
Operators stay seated during the entire process, improving safety and efficiency. There’s no need for chains, straps, or extra personnel. The drums stay balanced and steady while traveling, even across busy warehouse floors.
This unit requires a 22 1/2-inch outside fork spread, which fits most standard forklifts. Optional spark-resistant brass liners are available for applications where reducing spark risk is important.
If your operation regularly moves multiple drums, this double drum grabber is a practical way to boost productivity without adding complexity.

Additional Description
This double drum grabber is ideal for warehouses and plants that move drums in volume. Carrying two drums per lift reduces travel time and improves overall efficiency.
