Safe drum handling
27 February 2018
St Clare Engineering's Grab-O-Matic fork attachment and pedestrian drum handlers provide a safe and efficient solution for anyone loading or unloading drums from lorries or containers, de-palletising or just generally moving drums around a workshop or factory site.
Grab-O-Matic DLR rim grip drum handlers are suitable for all types of steel drums, plastic ‘L’ ring drums and most fibre drums. The range includes the SC10 for lifting and rotating drums to dispense contents, scissor grabs, base gripping units and waist grippers. The entire range can be fitted to pedestrian stackers and bespoke units can be made.
The latest development is the ‘Quick Release’ fork attachment drum handler which automatically attaches and disengages from the forks and eliminates the need for the truck driver to leave the cab to attach or release the units, enhancing safety and saving time.
