* Half-Full Drum Rating for forklift attachments

Half-Full Drum Rating of forklift attachments is an indication of the capacity for tilting an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum. A partially full drum with an unbalanced and shifting load is harder to tilt than a full drum, and places more stress on the gearing of forklift attachments.
