Forklift Mounted Drum Gripper

Forklift Mounted Drum Grippers are used by workers with leg amputations or other mobility impairments to move steel barrels without leaving the forklift seat.

Description

Forklift Mounted Drum Grippers are used by workers with leg amputations or other mobility impairments to move steel barrels without leaving the forklift seat. The forklift operator drives to the barrel, lowers the arms around the barrel, then lifts, moves and sets it down by simply operating the controls in the forklift operator station. Without this forklift mounted drum gripper, the operator would need to climb off the forklift, chain or strap the barrel in place, then climb back into the forklift to move the barrel. The forklift mounted drum gripper relieves the need to climb and use two-hand manipulation to secure the barrel.

 

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).

The system grips the drum, allowing it to be lifted into the air. Drum is released by lowering the forks. Hinged folding design for storage and adjustable-width arms. Welded steel construction. Painted finish. For use with steel drums only. U.S.A.
