Description

55 gallon drums are ever-present in factories, warehouses, construction sites, garages, and farms.  Handling them can be a difficult task.  There are a number of drum grippers out there but these typically do not allow for emptying contents by tipping.   A farm worker who  needs to empty a drum typically in the past would move the drum to the place it was needed, put it down with the forklift, and then manhandle it to tip it over and empty liquids.  This can be dangerous.  A Drum Handling Slings are used by workers with strength,  leg amputations or other mobility impairments to move barrels easily and then tip them to empty liquids from the barrels.

Workers with common conditions such as these would benefit from a Forklift-mounted drum gripper:  Arm Amputation, Arthritis, Balance / Core Stability, Cerebral Palsy (CP), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), Diabetes/Diabetic Neuropathy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Hand Injury, Total Hip Replacement, Total Knee Replacement, Leg Amputation, Lower Extremity Impairments, Mobility Impairment, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Muscular Dystrophy, Obesity, Old-Age, Paraplegia, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Osteoarthritis (weight bearing joints).
