Description
Heavy-Duty Fork Mount Single Drum Drum Grabber with Single Grabber Head – Model 8288-1
This fork mount drum grabber is a heavy-duty mechanical solution for handling drums safely and efficiently. It is designed for facilities that need reliable drum lifting and palletizing without moving up to powered or hydraulic equipment.
This model handles one rimmed drum at a time and works with steel, plastic, or fiber drums. The forklift operator can lift, move, and set down drums without leaving the seat, which helps improve safety and productivity.
The grabber uses a proven mechanical gripping system with massive steel jaws. As the drum weight increases, the jaws grip more tightly, helping keep the load stable during transport. This design works well with straight-wall drums, including drums with minor side damage.
Built from all welded steel, the unit is made for daily industrial use. The fork-mount design includes drive-in fork pockets that make installation quick and secure. This model is especially useful for palletizing drums and working in crowded warehouse areas.
With a 1,500 lb capacity, this grabber is well suited for heavier drums and more demanding applications than economy models.
