Drum Lifting Attachment FAQs
Yes, under LOLER 1998, lifting attachments must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at regular intervals (typically every 6 or 12 months) and records must be maintained for workplace safety audits.
Common types available include forklift drum clamps, drum grabs, vertical drum lifters, drum tippers, and hydraulic rotators, each suited to different handling environments such as warehouses, loading bays, or hazardous material areas.
Most drum lifting attachments are compatible with standard 210-litre steel drums, and many models are designed to safely handle plastic drums, although specific jaws or grip mechanisms may be required.
You should consider the drum type, material, lifting method (forklift or crane), rotation requirements, and whether the contents are hazardous, as this determines the attachment’s load capacity, grip style, and compliance level.
