Bespoke forklift drum handling attachments for wine and whisky barrels

We may have gone through dry January, and thanks to the lockdown there’s little chance of visiting a bar in the immediate future. But across the country, brewers, distilleries and wine makers continue to ferment their products, ready for the time we can socialise in pubs and our own homes again. We appreciate the care and effort that goes into making our nation’s favourite beverages. Whether it’s a wine, beer, whiskey or cider cask, moving these heavy barrels is difficult to do safely and quickly, especially when there are many to move. At St Clare Engineering we design and manufacture bespoke drum and barrel handling equipment, either stand-alone or fitted to forklift trucks, moving barrels of all shapes and sizes for the drinks industry.
