A Side-Shifting Drum Clamp is a specialized forklift attachment designed to grip, transport, and precisely position industrial drums (typically 55-gallon/200-liter steel or plastic).
Unlike a standard clamp, the Side-Shifting feature allows the entire load to move laterally (left or right) without moving the forklift itself, which is critical for tight spacing on pallets or in shipping containers.
Below are the typical technical specifications for a professional-grade unit (based on industry standards like Cascade or Auramo).

General Performance Specs

Feature Specification (Typical Range).
Capacity 1,200 kg to 1,900 kg (at 500 mm load center).
Side-Shift Stroke +_ 100 mm (Total 200 mm lateral movement).
Opening Range 395 mm to 1,750 mm (varies by 2-drum or 4-drum models).
Drum Compatibility 55-gallon (205L) Steel, Plastic (Mauser), and Fiber drums.
Mounting Class ITA Class II or Class III.

Physical Dimensions & Weight

Unit Weight: Approximately 285 kg (2-drum model) to 400 kg (4-drum model).
Effective Thickness (Lost Load): 145 mm to 160 mm. (This is the distance the attachment adds to the front of the forklift carriage).
Arm Height: 220 mm to 420 mm (Standard pads).
Frame Width: Typically 940 mm to 1,100 mm.

Hydraulic Requirements

To operate a side-shifting clamp, the forklift must be equipped with two auxiliary hydraulic functions:
Function 1: To open and close the clamping arms.
Function 2: To slide the unit side-to-side.
Operating Pressure: Recommended 140 -160 bar.
Flow Rate: 20 – 40 Liters per minute (LPM).

Key Features to Look For

Pivoting Arm Pads: Usually lined with high-friction rubber to prevent drum slippage and damage.
Pressure Relief Valve: Prevents crushing plastic or thin-walled fiber drums by limiting clamping force.
Regenerative Valving: Increases the speed at which arms open/close to improve cycle times.
Check Valves: Essential safety feature that holds clamping pressure even if a hydraulic hose fails.

High-Value Next Step

Would you like me to calculate the residual capacity of your specific forklift model once this attachment is installed? (I would just need the forklift’s rated capacity and the attachment’s weight).
