The DCM forklift attachment handles all steel, fiber and plastic drums with top lip or chime. Using Liftomatic's exclusive Parrot Beak® clamping system, this unit safely lifts and transports any drum load up to 2000 lbs. Grabbing two spots around the drum's chime, even damaged and deformed drums can be safely handled. Cushioned belt cradle at the bottom protects the sidewall of the drum from any scratching, denting or puncture during transport. The DCM is completely automatic and mechanical and simply slips onto forks of any forklift truck, with no hydraulic or electrical connection required. 1-CM-DCM-BC is mounted directly to forklift carriage to offer smaller turning radius for tight space.
