Description
Ultra-Grip™ Battery Powered Drum Handler for 55 Gallon Steel, Plastic, and Fiber Drums – Model 86136
The Ultra-Grip™ battery powered drum handler is a full-function powered attachment designed for facilities that handle multiple drum materials but only one drum size. It lifts, transports, stacks, palletizes, rotates, inverts, and dumps 55-gallon drums without the operator leaving the seat.
This model is built to handle steel, plastic, and fiber drums with diameters from 23 to 24 inches. Large rubber-lined jaws grip securely while helping prevent denting, crushing, or surface damage across different drum types. Once engaged, all motion is controlled electrically.
The unit provides 360-degree rotation and up to 125 degrees of forward dumping, making it suitable for dispensing, processing, or controlled emptying. It mounts directly to forklift forks and requires no forklift modifications.
Power is supplied by two 12-volt deep-cycle batteries, which are included. A built-in charger allows charging from a standard outlet. The control box features a coiled cord that extends from 4 feet to 20 feet, giving the operator flexibility while remaining 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 a strong fit for industrial environments where powered drum handling is frequent and precision matters.
This model is ideal for operations that standardize on 55-gallon drums but work with multiple drum materials.
This Ultra-Grip™ model is designed for facilities that want maximum capability without changing drum sizes. By focusing on 55-gallon drums, it delivers consistent grip and control across steel, plastic, and fiber materials.
The rubber-lined jaws adapt well to different drum surfaces while maintaining a strong hold. Operators can rotate and dump drums smoothly, reducing spills and improving safety during handling.
By combining multiple drum functions into one powered attachment, this unit helps reduce equipment changes and streamline daily operations.
