Forklift Drum Tipper Attachment (ATEX)

The unit is fitted with a stainless-steel fully-adjustable drum band that can handle steel, plastic, or fibre drums from 50- to 220-litres. Simply adjust the variable band to the size of the drum and secure the drum with the ratchet and polyester strap. We can also fit this unit with a fixed over-centre clamp band for companies only handling 200- to 220-litre drums. All of our drum rotator models include a high-quality self-locking rotational gearbox. This makes sure that when you’re rotating drums they always remain under control and never self-rotate.

This unit is suitable for a wide range of forklift trucks. The unit is mounted onto the forklift using the two integral fork pockets. The frame is secured in place using large clamp nuts on both sides of the fork pockets. 

This unit has a safe working load of 350kg and is supplied with a load test certificate. If you are handling drums in a confined area where forklifts pose a danger to personnel, we recommend one of our free-standing drum tippers - these models can be fitted with a wide range of powered features depending upon the amount of use. 

We can provide a fully-certified ATEX / UKEX Forklift Drum Tipper Attachment for use in hazardous zoned areas. Our DRU04-SS-Ex is constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, this eliminates any thermic-strike risk. This model is suitable for gas and dust areas: Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22. All our 'Ex' rated drum handling equipment is supplied with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which demonstrates compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
