Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly designed to store, move and lift items placed on pallets. For businesses that use drums, they often need an attachment to be able to deal with storing, lifting and moving them. There are several various attachments that a company could utilize for all your drum lifting, moving, and storing needs. These attachments are specifically utilized to be able to handle drum containers - therefore there is no chance of damage to the item or drum container whenever they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is existing in three and four tine models. They are utilized for the unloading and loading of drums off drum stands, racks and vehicles. This attachment is totally mechanical, therefore allowing the the one operating it 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 meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork mounted and is designed with the sole objective of dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Even if the purpose 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 a forklift attachment which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator utilizing a steel clamp which fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is performed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is for operations that happen beneath shoulder level. For operations that should occur higher than shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are meant for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, just easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements decrease the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both semi-automatic and automatic units which could be used in the tight head and open topped steel drum styles. The drum tongs can even be connected in many different ways to the forklift. One method is to attach them under a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect 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 need for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the optimal choice for lift truck accessories, when there is a need to stockpile drums with inadequate space accessible. This attachment can be utilized on both one hundred twenty liter and two hundred ten litter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by using metal jaws so as to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any space between all of the drums. The average model utilized in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, although, this accessory comes available in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
