Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lift two drums at the same time?

Yes, Morse offers multiple forklift drum attachments that can lift two drums simultaneously.

What are Wesco Gator Grips?

Wesco Gator Grips are used for automatically picking up drums without the forklift driver / user ever leaving their seat. They also feature a patented Auto Grip Lock facility for automatically locking the jaws and maintaining a positive lock over the drums, even over rough terrain.

What is the load capacity of these fork-mounted drum handling equipment?

These forklift drum attachments can lift loads ranging from 700 to 4000 lb.

How do I attach and operate Vestil FDG Series fork mounted drum grippers?

Slide the drum gripper onto the forklift forks, secure it in place and engage the arms around the drum. The gripper may be operated manually or through hydraulic controls, which should also be outlined in the user manual.

What safety precautions should be taken when using drum lifter forklift attachments?

Operators should be trained in their proper use, including securing the drum correctly and maintaining stability during lifting and transport. Regular inspections of the attachment for wear and damage are also crucial.
