Drum handler

St Clare Engineering has developed
a new quick attach/release drum
handler fork attachment; the Grab-
O-Matic QR-2-DLR can be securely
attached to the forks and released
without the need for the truck driver
to dismount from his cab.

A Carriage Hook Plate is bolted to
the centre of the fork truck carriage,
this can stay on permanently as it
does not interfere with the normal
lifting and moving of pallets and is
only 300mm wide. The forks are
inserted fully into the fork pockets
and when raised a sprung loaded
lever locks behind the Carriage Hook
Plate and will only release when the
unit is lowered to the ground. This
reverses the action and the forks can
be withdrawn from the unit.
