Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly designed to lift, move and store things placed on pallets. For facilities that use drums, they normally require an attachment so as to handle storing, lifting and moving them. There are several various attachments which a company could use for all of your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are specially used to handle drum containers - therefore there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is available in three or four tine designs. They are operational for the unloading and loading of drums off vehicles, drum stands and racks. This particular accessory is fully mechanical, hence allowing the person operating it to be able to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move steel, large and extra large plastic drums, its capacity is 210 liters. This particular attachment is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Though the initial reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums too. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is one more forklift attachment which mounts onto the forks themselves. Their objective is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp that fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations which must occur higher than shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are meant for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing fancy, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in automatic and semi-automatic models. They are utilized in the open topped or tight head steel drum kinds. The drum pincers can be connected in a few ways to the lift truck. One way is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the one operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect option for lift truck attachments, whenever there is a necessity to store drums with limited area available. This accessory could be utilized on either one hundred twenty liter and two hundred ten litter drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using steel jaws in order to hold the edge of the drum. It lifts the drum and sets it down without needing any space between all the drums. The average model in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this particular accessory is available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
