LES Single Drum Grab Lifter Forklift Attachment – 680kg Capacity

LES Single Drum Grab Lifter Forklift Attachment LES - Lifting Equipment Store

The LES Single Drum Grab Lifter Forklift Attachment is a practical forklift-mounted drum handling solution for lifting and transporting single steel 210L/55-gallon drums. Designed with a 680kg lifting capacity, slip-on fork pockets and tilting jaws that grip under the drum rib when lifted, it gives operators a simple way to handle heavy drums without needing a dedicated drum truck or separate lifting system.

As part of our wider range of forklift drum attachments, this single drum grab is ideal for warehouses, factories, yards, storage facilities, workshops and production environments where steel drums need to be moved safely and efficiently by forklift. It also sits within our full drum handling equipment range for customers looking to improve how drums are lifted, moved, stored or positioned on site.

Designed for Single Steel 210L/55-Gallon Drums

This forklift drum grab is designed to lift a single steel 210L/55-gallon drum. The tilting jaws slide over the drum rib and grip underneath as the drum is lifted, helping the operator move drums without manually wrestling with heavy or awkward loads.

It is especially useful for handling drums in bulk storage areas, loading bays, production spaces, chemical stores, manufacturing facilities and warehouses where drums need to be moved regularly using an existing forklift truck.

680kg Drum Lifting Capacity

With a 680kg capacity, this drum grab is suitable for lifting heavy single steel drums within the rated working limit of the attachment. Operators should always check the total drum weight, including contents, before lifting and ensure both the forklift and attachment are suitable for the load.

The forklift truck’s own rated capacity must also be considered, including the effect of the attachment weight, load centre and drum position. The attachment itself weighs 55kg, so this should be included when assessing the forklift’s safe lifting capability.

Slip-On Forklift Attachment with Tension Screws

The LES Single Drum Grab Lifter is designed to slide directly onto compatible forklift forks. It fits most standardised forklift trucks with forks no larger than 140 x 51mm, making it a convenient solution for sites that already use forklifts for general material handling.

Once positioned correctly on the forks, the rugged tension screws are tightened to help secure the attachment in place. Operators should also carry out a pre-use inspection and ensure the attachment is correctly fitted before every lift.

Tilting Jaws Grip Under the Drum Rib

The key handling feature of this drum grab is its tilting jaw design. The jaws are positioned over the drum rib and then grip underneath the rib as the drum is lifted. This gives the attachment a secure mechanical grip on suitable steel drums during lifting and transport.

This design helps reduce manual handling and allows drums to be picked up, moved and deposited using the forklift, making it a more efficient option than moving heavy drums by hand or using unsuitable handling methods.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

This forklift drum attachment is manufactured from robust welded steel and finished with a powder-coated coating for added protection in demanding environments. The heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for regular industrial use where drum handling is part of day-to-day operations.

The compact foldable design also helps make the attachment easier to store when not in use, which is useful for busy warehouses, workshops and production sites where floor space matters.

Built for Safer Drum Handling

Using the correct drum handling attachment helps reduce the risks associated with manually moving heavy drums or trying to handle them using standard forklift forks alone. This drum grab gives operators a purpose-built solution for lifting suitable steel drums securely by the drum rib.

For other drum handling requirements, you can also browse our wider range of drum lifting attachments, drum trolleys and dollies and forklift attachments.
