To suit the common open-head containers to DIN 6141. If none of the three sizes fits, we build the lifter to suit your drum.

Special size

Grips the bead, not the whole drum
The gripper engages positively in the groove of the drum bead and is secured with a tensioning lever. The hold is in place before lifting, so nothing slips and the container is not damaged.
- Crane: picked up by the crane hook via the lifting eye
- Forklift: picked up via the load hook, fork tines secured with a clamping lever
- Contents remain accessible during lifting
- No re-rigging between transport and removal of contents
In use
Crane eye and forklift pocket
The crane hook engages in the crane eye. For forklifts there is the forklift pocket: the fork tine is secured in it with a clamping lever.
