The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of dealing with metal drums that have rolling hoops.

Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is a forklift accessory which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator with a steel clamp that fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is utilized for operations which occur below shoulder level. For operations which must take place higher than shoulder level, the continuous circle chain will be utilized.
