This Heavy Duty vertical Drum Lifter is designed for lifting open (with lid installed and secured) and closed-head steel drums in vertical position. The industrial ratchet load-binder is used to clamp the unit to the top of the drum and it is virtually impossible to break the drum loose. Inside jaw opening is adjustable. Lifter features integral fork pockets for use with fork truck forks/tines as well as lifting points for attachment of slings or chains. A safety restraint is included to secure the drum lifter to a carriage when being used with a fork truck. Steel construction with blue painted finish.
