HOME >> PRODUCTS >> LIFTING CLAMP >> DRUM CLAMP
A lightweight DSL steel drum clamp fitted with an automatic locking mechanism, that delivers safe lifting and transporting of steel (oil) drums, can be deployed singly or in pairs, and clamps firmly onto 2-leg Grade 80 lifting chains — built for warehouse logistics, chemical yards and dockside drum transfer operations that need fast, hassle-free drum handling, not just standard flat steel lifting gear.
The DSL drum clamp is designed for safe lifting and transporting of steel (oil) drums. With an automatic locking mechanism, it holds the drum firmly during the lift; the clamps can be used singly or in pairs. Available in DSL-1 at 1.0t per pair and DSL-2 at 2.0t per pair, it is built for fast, reliable drum handling on site.
The clamp grips firmly on a 2-leg Grade 80 lifting chain and must be used without snatch or shock loading. It is extremely light weight — just 2.1 kg for the DSL-1 and 4.7 kg for the DSL-2 — and very quick and easy to use. Jaw opening ranges from 1–13 mm on the DSL-1 to 3–22 mm on the DSL-2 to suit different drum rims.
Fitted with an automatic locking device, the clamp positively retains the steel (oil) drum throughout the lift, preventing accidental release during hoisting and transport.
The DSL clamp may be operated individually or in matched pairs, providing adaptability across varying drum sizes and lifting arrangements.
The clamp grips firmly onto a 2-leg Grade 80 lifting chain; snatch loading and shock loading must be avoided in service.
The unit is extremely lightweight — 2.1 kg for the DSL-1 and 4.7 kg for the DSL-2 — enabling rapid attachment and straightforward operation.
Not every drum needs a full sling arrangement. Where a steel (oil) drum must be lifted and transported quickly on site, a purpose-built drum clamp does the job faster and safer than hand rigging. The DSL is built for exactly that: an automatic locking mechanism that holds the drum firmly, usable singly or in pairs.
Which DSL model fits your job? For standard drums, the DSL-1 at 1.0t per pair with a jaw opening of 1–13 mm handles most routine lifts. For larger rims, the DSL-2 at 2.0t per pair covers a 3–22 mm jaw opening. Both grip firmly on a 2-leg Grade 80 lifting chain, weigh only 2.1 kg and 4.7 kg respectively, and are extremely quick and easy to use — provided snatch or shock loading is avoided.Compare: DSL Drum ClampCompare: DYG ROUND STOCK GRABS
