The Secret Weapon for Efficient and Safe Material Handling: i-lift DG Series Drum Grab

Imagine this scenario: In a warehouse, heavy steel or plastic drums need frequent moving and stacking. Traditional methods are labor-intensive, hazardous, and risk damaging expensive drums. Workers bend over to roll drums—inefficient and unsafe. Is there a solution that allows operators to handle drums safely, precisely, and efficiently without ever leaving the forklift seat?

The answer is yes—the i-lift DG Series Drum Grab is engineered to eliminate these pain points as your ultimate material handling partner.

i-lift DG Grab: The Intelligent "Robotic Hand" for Forklifts

The DG Series (including DG10, DG20, DG30, DG40, DG45, DG50) embodies extreme simplicity and reliability. It requires no hydraulic or electrical connections, eliminating hose and cable clutter. Operation is intuitive:

1. Quick Installation: Slide onto forklift forks and tighten hand screws—ready in seconds.

2. Smart Clamping: The drum’s weight triggers an internal mechanism that automatically locks pressure. This load-activated self-locking ensures drums stay secure during transport.

3. Auto Release: When placed down, the grab senses load release and opens smoothly—zero operator input.

4. Full-Seat Operation: Lift, transport, and stack drums without dismounting, maximizing efficiency and safety.

Versatile Performer for Diverse Needs

i-lift understands varied industry demands. The DG Series offers comprehensive models for all scenarios—single/double drums, steel/plastic (poly) drums:

Key Insight: DG50 is optimized for lighter plastic/IBC drums. Its 1000 kg capacity meets safety standards for chemical/food industries handling large containers.

Why DG Grab is Key to Warehouse Efficiency & Safety?

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built with industrial-grade steel for extreme environments—long lifespan, low replacement costs.

• Plug-and-Play, Zero Connections: No hydraulics or wiring. No external power saves installation/maintenance costs. Ideal for multi-forklift sharing.

• Operator Efficiency & Safety: Never leave the seat to grip, move, or stack drums. Reduces fatigue/accident risks and aligns with ergonomic best practices. Achieves neat stacking.

• Intelligent Self-Locking: Unique auto clamp/release triggered by load weight. Prevents drum drops/rolls and workplace accidents.

• Cost Optimization: Faster handling, labor reduction, minimized drum damage/leaks, lower injury risks—cuts total material handling costs.

  Safe Operation: The Foundation of Efficiency (Critical Notes)

  Ensure every operation is secure:

  1. Lubrication & Load Check: Lightly lubricate moving parts pre-use. Strictly verify drum + content weight never exceeds the model’s rated capacity.

  2. Safe Hoisting (If Applicable): Use all four corner lifting lugs with rated slings (load capacity ≥2000kg). ⚠️ Strictly prohibit personnel under the grab/drums during operation.

  3. Precision Alignment: Position grab above drum, align center frame. Self-adjusting guide claws tolerate minor misalignment for smooth gripping/stacking.

  4. Vertical Movement: Always lift/lower vertically. Tilting risks drum shifts, drops, or damage.

  5. Placement Protocol: At destination: Stabilize drum → Lower grab to dead point → Raise forks → Grab auto-releases.
