A clamp adaptor is mountable on a bale squeeze attachment of a lift vehicle or truck to allow the lift vehicle or truck to lift a filled or partially-filled malleable bag. The clamp adaptor has first and second symmetrically mirrored opposing clamp-sides, each having a part-cylindrical side wall with a curvature about a vertical axis and a flat part-circular bottom plate fixedly coupled with the part-cylindrical side wall. The clamp adaptor also includes at least one stopper bar attached to one of the first and second symmetrically mirrored opposing clamp-sides to stop the first and second symmetrically mirrored opposing clamp-sides from moving closer than a minimum distance to prevent damage to a bag between the first and second symmetrically mirrored opposing clamp-sides.
