Product Description

Forklift Drum Positioners for Horizontal Drum Racking and Rotation

Forklift drum positioners provide a controlled way to rotate standing drums into a horizontal racking position and return horizontal drums back to vertical handling position. Designed for warehouses, drum storage areas, chemical handling facilities, manufacturing plants, maintenance departments, and material handling operations, these attachments help improve efficiency when loading drums into racks or preparing drums for transport.

Mechanical Fork Truck Operation

The drum positioner relies on the fork truck to lift and rotate the drum, reducing the need for manual drum tipping or repositioning. Fork pockets allow the attachment to be picked up by a compatible fork truck, while the release cable is used to operate the latching mechanism during positioning.

Positive Latching Drum Control

A positive latching system helps secure the drum during rotation and horizontal placement. The positioner extensions slide over the vertical drum, allowing the operator to rotate the drum into the racking position. A welded spacer helps protect drum fixtures from damage during rotation.

Drum Compatibility and Capacity

This family includes models for 55-gallon steel drums, as well as 30-gallon steel and 55-gallon poly drum applications. Each unit supports up to 800 lb. capacity and features durable powder-coated finishes for long-lasting use in industrial drum handling environments.
