Verdex Forklift Side Operated Drum Rotator Specifications

The Verdex Forklift Side Operated Drum Rotator is built for precision and durability, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty drum handling. It is specifically designed to suit standard 210-litre steel drums and features a robust working load limit of 400kg. The unit integrates seamlessly with most forklifts, thanks to fork pockets that measure 185mm wide by 65mm high and are spaced 705mm apart for a secure and stable fit.

With a load centre of 940mm and a horizontal and vertical centre of gravity at 668mm and 30mm respectively, the rotator ensures balanced and controlled lifting during operation. The overall dimensions of the unit are 1340mm in length, 1040mm in width, and 400mm in height, while the total weight is a manageable 90kg. To withstand demanding environments, the drum rotator is finished with a high-quality zinc plating that provides excellent resistance to corrosion.

Ideal Applications

The Forklift Side Operated Drum Rotator is a practical solution for any environment where controlled drum handling is essential. It's commonly used in warehousing, logistics operations, manufacturing plants, and waste processing facilities, particularly where drums must be lifted and rotated at height.

Industries involved in chemical handling, food and beverage production, or industrial cleaning also benefit from the added safety, accuracy, and efficiency this attachment provides. Wherever precise pouring, decanting, or repositioning of steel drums is required, this rotator helps minimise spillage, reduce manual handling, and streamline operations.

Why Choose This Drum Rotator?

Handling drums manually is not only inefficient, it can also pose serious safety risks. This drum rotator reduces operator strain, increases control, and helps maintain a cleaner, safer workspace.

Engineered for strength and usability, it integrates easily with your existing forklifts and supports your operation’s safety and productivity standards. If you need help choosing the right drum handling attachment, our team is here to guide you toward the most efficient and compliant solution.
