A must-have attachment for forklifts, this lifter provides a safe and efficient way to move, lift, and place drums without unnecessary manual labour or safety risks.
What is the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single)?
The Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) is an innovative forklift attachment designed for lifting and handling steel and plastic 210-litre drums. As part of the Parrot Beak family, this lifter features a simple auto-clamping mechanism that grips the rim of the drum, making it easy for operators to lift and move drums with minimal effort.
The standout feature of this lifter is that it operates automatically without the need for the operator to leave the forklift’s seat.

The Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) is an essential tool for industries that require frequent handling of large and heavy drums, providing both ease of use and maximum safety.
Key Features of the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single)
1. Heavy-Duty Construction for Durability
The Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) is built for longevity. It is constructed from zinc-plated steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and harsh environmental conditions. This ensures that the lifter remains in excellent condition even after prolonged exposure to chemicals, oils, or other substances commonly found in industrial settings. The fully welded design enhances its durability, making it a reliable choice for the toughest lifting applications.
2. Automatic Clamping Mechanism
One of the most convenient features of the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) is its auto-clamp operation. The lifter automatically secures itself around the drum’s rim, allowing the operator to move the drum without manually adjusting the clamp. This simple yet effective mechanism not only saves time but also improves the overall safety of the operation. The forklift operator can stay seated, minimising physical exertion and avoiding the need to exit the vehicle to adjust or secure the drum.
3. Enhanced Load Capacity
The Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) has an impressive load capacity of 1000kg, making it suitable for handling even the heaviest 210-litre drums. Whether you're lifting steel or plastic drums, this lifter provides the strength and stability needed for a secure grip and safe transport. The high load capacity makes it a valuable tool in industries that deal with large volumes of heavy material, such as chemicals, oils, and industrial waste.
4. Height and Size Adjustability
With a load centre of 1210mm and a height centre of gravity (HCG) of 560mm, the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) ensures that drums are lifted and handled with optimal balance and precision. These dimensions make it ideal for a variety of drum handling scenarios, ensuring that the forklift operator can manage the drum efficiently without compromising on safety. The vertical centre of gravity (VCG) of 130mm also ensures that the lifter maintains its stability throughout the lifting process.
5. Fork Pocket Size and Centres
Designed for easy attachment to most forklifts, the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) has a fork pocket size of 185x60mm, with fork pocket centres spaced at 250mm. This standard size allows the attachment to fit a wide range of forklifts, providing excellent versatility across various material handling equipment. The ease of attaching and detaching the lifter means minimal downtime and more efficient operations.
6. Compact and Practical Design
At 72kg, the Parrot Beak Drum Lifter (Single) strikes the perfect balance between weight and strength. It is heavy-duty enough to handle the weight of the drums, yet light enough to be easily mounted and moved when required. Its compact design ensures it doesn’t take up unnecessary space on the forklift or in the warehouse, providing convenience without compromising on performance.
