Vestil VESDCR-205-15 is a fork truck drum carrier/rotator designed to move and rotate 55-gallon steel drums using a standard fork truck. The unit supports securing the drum with a durable chain locking system and provides an additional chain that enables rotation directly from the forklift operator’s seat. A bung nut wrench is included to facilitate opening and closing drums, making the system an integrated solution for handling full drums and performing controlled rotations. The drum cradle is zinc-plated, contributing to corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments, while the overall assembly is finished in a high-visibility yellow to aid in site recognition and operator awareness. The design supports 360-degree rotation and is rated for a uniform capacity of 1,500 lb, which corresponds to full drums when used within the stated limits. The rotation chain length and crank mechanism are sized to deliver predictable incremental movement, with specified parameters such as a 15 ft rotation chain, 10 crank turns per 90-degree rotation, and a drum restraint chain of 33 in length, ensuring that the drum remains secure throughout handling and rotation operations. The product accommodates 55-gallon steel drums and features fork pockets sized to fit typical palletized fork tines, providing a practical solution for manufacturers, job shops, and maintenance operations that routinely transfer and rotate drum contents in warehouses or production areas.
