Description
Steel and Fiber Drum Jaws Style Grabber with Lined Jaws – Model 86145
This jaws style drum grabber is designed for secure, damage-controlled handling of steel and fiber drums. The lined jaws grip firmly while protecting drum surfaces, making it a dependable option for everyday drum movement with a forklift.
This model handles drums from 18 to 28 inches in diameter, including steel overpacks. It mounts directly onto forklift forks and is ready to use in seconds. The forklift operator can lift, move, and set down drums without manual clamping or leaving the seat.
The grabber uses a spring-and-cam actuated jaw system. As the drum is lifted, the jaws close automatically. When the drum is set down, the jaws release on their own. This simple mechanical action reduces handling steps and speeds up routine drum moves.
The jaws measure 3 inches wide by 15 inches long and are lined specifically for steel and fiber drums. The lining helps reduce surface damage while maintaining a secure grip. Fork pockets are spaced 25 inches on center and fit forks measuring 1 1/2 inches high by 6 inches wide. T-bolts secure the unit tightly to the forklift.
This grabber is a good fit for warehouses, plants, and shipping areas that handle steel or fiber drums regularly and want a fast, mechanical solution without power or hydraulics.
This jaws style drum grabber is ideal for operations that want a simple and durable attachment for steel and fiber drums. The lined jaws provide extra protection, which helps reduce scuffing or damage during repeated handling.
Because the grip and release happen automatically, operators can work faster without extra steps. The mechanical design also keeps maintenance low, making it a practical choice for facilities that prefer straightforward equipment.
This model is not intended for plastic drums. Unlined jaw versions are used for plastic drum applications.
