Drum Clamp - Forklifts are actually designed to store, move and lift items placed on pallets. For businesses which use drums, they often need an attachment so as to handle moving, storing and lifting them. There are several various attachments which a company can utilize for all your drum storing, lifting and moving requirements. These attachments are specifically used to handle 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 can be used to load and unload drums off of vehicles, racks, and drum stands. These are obtainable in three or four tine models. This particular attachment is completely mechanical, thus enabling 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 accessory is intended 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 reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can accommodate the moving of extra large and large plastic drums. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is a lift truck attachment that mounts on to the blades themselves. The objective of the drum rotator is to be able to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator utilizing a steel clamp which fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is done by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is used for operations that happen below shoulder level. For operations which must take place higher than shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are meant for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, just easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both automatic and semi-automatic versions which can be utilized in the open topped and tight head metal drum styles. The drum tongs could even be connected several different ways to the lift truck. One method is to attach them underneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to connect them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either the semi automatic and the 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 optimal option for lift truck accessories, when there is a necessity to stockpile drums with inadequate space accessible. This accessory 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 rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and sets it down without requiring any space between all the drums. The standard unit used in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this accessory comes available in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
