Handcrafted forklift drum handlers – made in the UK and built to last

Drum handling forklift truck attachments trusted across the world

At St Clare Engineering, we manufacture forklift drum handlers by hand with care and precision. Every Grab-O-Matic forklift drum handler that leaves our Hampshire workshop is the result of expert craftsmanship, decades of industry knowledge and a commitment to keeping your operations safe and efficient.

While our equipment operates in some of the world’s busiest ports, chemical plants and warehouses, it’s created in an expert UK facility where personal service and engineering excellence come first. Plus, all of our drum handing equipment is made to last.

Drum handlers built to order

Each forklift drum handler attachment is hand-assembled by our skilled engineers using high-quality materials and components. We don’t mass-produce. Instead, every order is tailored to your operational needs, whether it’s a standard drum handler attachment or a fully customised drum rotator for a specialist application.

From initial enquiry to final dispatch, we provide one-to-one support to ensure your drum handler is the right fit for your forklift, your drum type, your site and your safety requirements.

Using our forklift drum handlers

Our Grab-O-Matic forklift drum handling attachments are trusted by global brands across a wide range of industries, including:

• Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where safe handling of hazardous materials is critical.
• Food and beverage production, for lifting, tipping and transporting large quantities of ingredients and liquids.
• Oil and gas refineries requiring heavy-duty drum lifters and clamps for metal drums in tough environments.
• Ports, depots and logistics hubs where quick, reliable loading and unloading is essential for fast turnaround.
• Waste and recycling operations: to move and empty drums containing liquid or granular materials.

Whether you’re lifting steel drums, plastic barrels or fibre drums, our forklift-compatible solutions offer a secure grip, smooth operation and long-lasting performance.

Made in the UK, trusted worldwide

All of our drum handling equipment is designed and manufactured in the UK at our workshop in Hampshire. This allows us to maintain strict quality control and keep lead times short, something our customers across the UK, Europe, Asia and beyond value highly.

As a British manufacturer of forklift drum attachments, we’ve earned a reputation for quality, dependability and personal service. Many of our clients return time and again because they know we deliver what we promise – and we’re always on hand to help.

From your very first call, you’ll speak with someone who understands both the engineering and the practical challenges of your industry. Do you need to adapt an attachment for your forklift truck? Would you like guidance on safe drum rotation or secure lifting in tight spaces? We’ll talk you through it and offer a solution that works.

Every attachment is tested before it leaves our site, and we’re happy to provide after-sales support, maintenance advice or spares and repairs when needed.
