Mechanical drum lifter for ergonomic lifting

Liftomatic Material Handling offers the model MH-FTA, a forklift attachment designed to handle short drums in either steel, plastic or fiber configuration. Typically, these drums, ranging from 15-30 gallons, have been palletized and rolled on and off the pallets by hand.

Lifting injuries and hand/leg injuries demanded a mechanical product to lift loads up to 500 pounds The MH-FTA unit was designed specifically for these applications. Both single and double drum units are available.

Liftomatic's exclusive Parrot-Beak clamping mechanism provides a positive grip on all ring styles without the operator ever having to leave the seat of the forklift. Occasional lubrication and inspection of springs is the only maintenance required.
