Handling heavy steel drums is a common challenge in industries such as chemicals, oil, manufacturing, and warehousing. Traditional manual handling not only requires significant physical effort but also increases the risk of workplace accidents and reduces operational efficiency.

Available in HK285A, HK285B, and HK285C, the series helps businesses improve productivity while maintaining safe and precise drum handling.

Turn Your Forklift into a Drum Handling Solution

Instead of investing in additional powered equipment, the HK285 Series allows companies to upgrade their existing forklifts for drum transportation and dispensing tasks.

Once installed, operators can easily lift, transport, raise, and tilt loaded steel drums, making daily material handling faster, safer, and more efficient.

  • Strong mechanical clamping structure ensures secure drum gripping
  • 30:1 gear ratio delivers smooth, controlled drum rotation for liquid dispensing
