Description

Roto-Grip™ DC Powered Hydraulic Drum Grabber with 58" Lift – Model 88585

This powered drum grabber is built for operators who need full control without manual effort. The Roto-Grip™ DC powered hydraulic drum grabber lets you grab, lift, and rotate steel drums 360 degrees while staying at the controls the entire time.

The unit rolls directly up to the drum. With the flip of a switch, rubber-lined arms close around the drum using electric power. The built-in hydraulic system then lifts and rotates the drum smoothly. There’s no manual clamping, no straining, and no need to leave the operating position.

This model handles steel drums from 18 to 24 inches in diameter and supports loads up to 800 lbs. The 58-inch lift height makes it well suited for dumping, positioning, or transferring drums at waist or chest height.

Power comes from a 12-volt DC deep-cycle battery, which is included. A built-in charger plugs into a standard 110-volt grounded outlet, so charging is simple and doesn’t require special wiring.

The welded steel frame uses a single-post design that improves forward visibility while operating. Long front legs and wide spacing between the legs provide stability during lifting and rotation. The unit rolls smoothly on polyurethane front wheels with swivel rear casters, making it easy to maneuver in tight work areas.

This drum grabber is a good fit for production floors, maintenance shops, and facilities that need controlled drum rotation without forklifts or overhead equipment.

Additional Description



This Roto-Grip™ drum grabber is designed for controlled handling where precision matters. Operators can lift and rotate drums smoothly, which helps reduce spills and improves safety during dumping or positioning tasks.

The mobile design makes it easy to move between workstations without relying on forklifts. Its compact footprint and smooth-rolling wheels help it navigate aisles and tight spaces.

Facilities that regularly rotate drums for dispensing or processing benefit from the powered rotation and consistent grip. The rubber-lined arms help protect drum surfaces while maintaining a secure hold.
