It's our 60th anniversary!
26 March 2019
St Clare Engineering was founded in Lymington in 1959.
60 years later, the simple but efficient design of the Grab-O-Matic drum handling fork attachment is still going strong.
The basic design is as it was originally, hand assembled to produce a drum grab using mechanical jaws to grip the rim of all drums and barrels.
Testament to the robustness and quality of the Grab-O-Matics, many units still in use date back more than 30 years and are being returned to the factory for their annual service/re-certification.
