Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is available in three and four tine models. They are operational for the loading and unloading of drums off vehicles, drum stands and racks.

Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This accessory is used for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Though the original purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums also. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is another lift truck accessory that mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to be able to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator with a clamp that fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations that must occur over shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork attachments. They are utilized for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing elaborate, merely simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs

One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the one operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
