Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is one more forklift accessory that mounts onto the forks themselves. Their objective is to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator with a clamp which fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle.
