Double Drum - Econo Gator Grip Drum Grabber

Double Drum Econo Gator Grip Drum Grabber, Fork Mount – Model 8EGG-F2

The Double Drum Econo Gator Grip drum grabber is a cost-effective, mechanical solution for moving two drums at once with a forklift. It’s built for operations that want higher throughput without stepping up to powered or hydraulic equipment.

This fork mounted drum grabber handles two top-rimmed drums at the same time and works with steel, plastic, or fiber drums. It can lift 30, 55, or 85 gallon drums, allowing forklift operators to move more material per trip without leaving the seat.

The Econo Gator Grip features the WESCO exclusive Auto Grip Lock system. As the forklift lifts the drums, the jaws automatically close and lock onto the drum rims. The grabber maintains a positive lock during transport and will not unlock until the drums are placed on the ground, helping prevent accidental release on uneven or rough terrain.

Constructed entirely of all-welded steel, this unit is built to handle daily warehouse and industrial use. It mounts directly to forklift forks and requires no power, hydraulics, or forklift modifications.

With a 1,000 lb capacity per drum, this model offers strong performance while keeping equipment costs low. For heavier loads or more demanding applications, higher-capacity Gator Grip models are available.

Additional Description

The double drum Econo Gator Grip is ideal for facilities that want to reduce handling time by moving two drums per lift. The automatic locking jaws give operators confidence that both drums stay secure during transport.

Because it uses a simple mechanical design, maintenance requirements are low. This makes it a practical choice for warehouses, shipping docks, and production areas that want dependable performance at a lower cost.
