Description

Ultra-Grip™ Battery Powered Drum Handler for 30–85 Gallon Steel Drums – Model 86135

The Ultra-Grip™ battery powered drum handler is built for operations that need one attachment to do everything. It lifts, transports, stacks, palletizes, rotates, inverts, and dumps steel drums without the operator leaving the seat.

This unit handles 30 to 85 gallon steel drums with diameters from 18 to 28 inches. Large rubber-lined jaws grip the drum securely while helping prevent denting or surface damage. Once engaged, the operator has full powered control over lifting, rotating, and dumping.

The handler provides 360-degree drum rotation and up to 125 degrees of forward dumping, making it ideal for dispensing, processing, or controlled emptying. No forklift modifications are required. The unit mounts directly to the forks and is ready for use.

Power comes from two 12-volt deep-cycle batteries, which are included. A built-in battery charger allows charging from a standard outlet. The control box uses a coiled cord that extends from 4 feet to 20 feet, giving the operator flexibility while staying safely positioned.

The Ultra-Grip™ is rated for 2,000 lbs when lifting or rotating and 1,800 lbs when dumping. Its heavy-duty construction makes it well suited for demanding industrial environments where drum handling is frequent and precision matters.

This model is ideal for plants, warehouses, and production facilities that want maximum capability from a single powered attachment.

Additional Description



This Ultra-Grip™ drum handler is designed for high-volume operations where efficiency and control are critical. By combining lifting, rotating, and dumping into one attachment, it reduces equipment changes and speeds up workflow.

The powered jaw system keeps drums stable during movement and rotation. Operators can position drums precisely, which helps reduce spills and improve safety during dumping or processing.

Facilities that handle multiple drum sizes benefit from the wide size range and strong load ratings. This unit replaces several manual or semi-powered tools with one reliable solution.
