Description Our range of semi-automatic drum tongs allows drums to be picked up from the overhead vertical position via a forklift truck (yoke required) or slung beneath an overhead crane hook. This makes the ideal drum handler for when drums are inaccessible for lifting from the side. When the lifting tongs are positioned over the drum, a manual release lever will allow for the drum lifting tongs to locate and lock underneath the lip of the drum, allowing for safe and secure drum lifting. Re-setting of the lever when the drum is positioned back on the ground, allows the drum lifting tongs to unlock and release their grip on the drum Our range of drum lifting tongs can come supplied with either 500kg lifting capacity or heavy duty 1000kg lifting capacity and is suitable for either 210 litre steel drums or 210 litre plastic Mauser drums With mild steel construction, the drum lifting tongs are painted in high gloss yellow for added visibility   Model Ref Capacity (kg) Drum Type (210 Litre) Type of Operation Weight (kg) DTG-1 500 Steel Semi-Automatic 26 DTG-1-HD 1000 Steel Semi-Automatic 33 DTG-1-M 500 Mauser (Egg Shape) Semi-Automatic 28   – Grips drums under the top lip reduces investment as this drum lifter will suit most drums – Single lifting eye on top for forklift truck use or crane use.
