71" Lift - Roto-Grip™ DC Powered Hydraulic Drum Grabber

Roto-Grip™ DC Powered Hydraulic Drum Grabber with 71" Lift – Model 88586

This powered drum grabber is built for applications that need extra lift height without sacrificing control. The Roto-Grip™ DC powered hydraulic drum grabber lets you grab, lift, and rotate steel drums 360 degrees while the operator stays at the controls the entire time.

The unit rolls directly up to the drum. With a simple switch, rubber-lined arms close around the drum using electric power. A built-in hydraulic power pack then lifts and rotates the drum smoothly. There is no manual clamping and no need to step away from the operating position.

This model handles steel drums from 18 to 24 inches in diameter and supports loads up to 800 lbs. The 71-inch maximum lift height makes it ideal for higher dumping points, elevated equipment, or tall containers where extra reach is required.

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, making charging simple and convenient.

The welded steel frame uses a single-post design to maintain clear forward visibility during operation. Long front legs and wide spacing between the legs provide stability when lifting and rotating heavy drums. The unit rolls smoothly on polyurethane front wheels with swivel rear casters for easy movement in work areas.

This drum grabber is well suited for production floors, processing areas, and facilities that need controlled drum rotation with added lift height but without forklifts or overhead lifting systems.

Additional Description

This higher-lift Roto-Grip™ model is designed for facilities that need more vertical reach when handling drums. It allows operators to position or dump drums at greater heights while maintaining steady control.

The mobile design makes it easy to move between workstations without relying on forklifts. Smooth-rolling wheels and swivel casters help it navigate aisles and tight spaces.

Rubber-lined gripping arms help protect drum surfaces while providing a secure hold during lifting and rotation. This makes the unit useful in environments where drum condition matters as much as safety.
