Wesco GATOR GRIP SINGLE DRUM FORK MOUNT - GG-F1R - 240096

• Patented Gator Grip:
  Traditional devices require drum weight to maintain a positive lock. If a drum bounces during fork truck transportation, the drum may momentarily become weightless, which can cause the grip to snap open dropping the drum. The patented Auto Grip Lock automatically locks the jaws closed, even over rough terrain.
  • Heavy-duty carriage design.
  • Single and dual grips available.
  • Fork truck attachment.
  • Patented Gator Grip® No. 6,619,905
  • Note: OSHA requires contacting the manufacturer of your fork truck for written approval for the use of any fork truck attachments.
