Vestil VDC-1000 Vertical Drum Clamp, 1000 lbs Capacity

Picked up a 55 gallon drum of diesel. Worked. !!!!

Great product. Saves a lot of time!

simple design, works as designed. I place a wood block on top of barrel to hold device in place till I lift with my tractor. this allows me to move barrels of diesel without assistance safely.

This seems to be a nicely built unit. We could use some upgrades on the attachment points as it’s a little sketchy attaching it to the drum. The points at which it Lists the drum from could be larger so it contours and hold the drum more secure. They could also use better packing material as it took two for me to get one Because of poor packaging the first one was destroyed in shipping and the second one when I got it was about half out of the cheap cardboard backing.

This works with all barrels on my site. It was purchased to replace our existing grabber that consisted of a chain and clasps. Please do not purchase those as there are some drums that have non-standard lids and ribs which are incompatible. This works for them all and is a life saver.

Great aid in handling 55 gallon drums. Easy to pickup and move about the warehouse. Makes loading drums onto trucks a snap. No more worries about a drum falling and injuring a worker.

This is a very good product at a great price. I use it to offload 55 barrels of kero from pick-up to shop floor. Makes it extremely easy to do...in a safe manner

They will not allow me to return this item unless it has a manufacturer defect. The clamp is poorly designed and only grips the edge of the barrel and has no locking mechanism. I have sevral feed barrels drop out of this clamp and had to discontinue its use before someone got hurt. There are other designs available on Amazon that use a chain to attach a set of locking jaws to your lifting apparatuses that are much safer because of the locking clamps that grab your barrels and the chain lifts at a better angle
