Drum Lifting Clamp CAD Plans – Complete Lifting Solution for Barrels

This drum lifting clamp CAD design gives you a complete engineering solution to handle heavy barrels and drums in industrial, warehouse, or workshop environments.

Designed with robust mechanical geometry and weld-ready tolerances, this tool ensures safe lifting and transport of 200-liter steel barrels using a proven mechanical grip principle.

Whether you’re outfitting a shop hoist, a crane, or a forklift attachment, this clamp is both efficient and practical — and ready for fabrication straight from the drawings.

 What’s Included in the CAD Package

•  3D CAD files in Inventor 2014 format (.ipt and .iam)

•  Export files: STEP, STL, and DWF for compatibility with any major CAD/CAM/CNC software

•  Production-ready 2D DWG drawings with full dimensional tolerances

•  Printable PDF files for workshop reference

•  Complete BOM (bill of materials) with material grades, fasteners, pins, and shaft details

•  Welding specifications and assembly annotations included

Features and Functionality

•  Engineered to grip standard 200 L drums using a clamping hook and arm system

•  Manual operation with mechanical leverage – no hydraulics or pneumatics needed

•  Steel profile construction (S235/S355), ready for cutting and MIG/TIG welding

•  Built-in pivot design enables self-aligning motion when lifting

Use Cases

This clamp is ideal for:

•  Factories that handle chemical or oil drums

•  Workshop setups needing occasional lifting without automation

•  Farm and rural workshops using front loaders or jib cranes

•  Forklift-compatible applications with a few weld tweaks
