Drum Clamp - Forklifts are actually utilized to store, move and lift things placed on pallets. For facilities which use drums, they usually need an attachment in order to deal with moving, storing and lifting them. There are some various attachments which a company can use for all of your drum moving, storing and lifting requirements. These attachments are specially used in order to deal with drum containers - thus there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container when they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is existing in three and four tine designs. They are used for the unloading and loading of drums off drum stands, racks and vehicles. This particular accessory is totally automatic, therefore enabling the person operating it to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This attachment is intended for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork mounted and is designed with the sole objective of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Even if the reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could accommodate the transporting of large and extra large plastic drums. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is another forklift accessory which mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to be able to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp which fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is for operations which happen beneath shoulder level. For operations that must happen above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork attachments. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, only easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in automatic and semi-automatic versions. They are utilized in the open topped or tight head steel drum kinds. The drum forceps can be connected in a few ways to the lift truck. One way is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Both the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect choice for lift truck attachments, whenever there is a need to stockpile drums with inadequate space accessible. This particular accessory could be used on either one hundred twenty liter and two hundred ten litter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by using metal jaws to be able to grab the rim of the drum.
