Product Overview & Engineering Specifications
The Drum Grabber manufactured by SRE Material Handling Equipment Pvt. Ltd. is an automatic mechanical rim-clamping attachment that grips the top rim of drums using the drum’s own weight to secure the hold.
With no manual clamping or hydraulic levers required, the hardened steel beak automatically clamps around the drum rim upon lifting and releases cleanly when lowered onto the ground, delivering rapid cycle times.
Manufactured under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at our state-of-the-art facility in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, every unit undergoes 125% proof load testing prior to dispatch with nationwide warranty coverage.
