Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly meant to move, lift and store things placed on pallets. For companies which use drums, they often require an attachment to be able to handle moving, storing and lifting them. There are several various attachments that a company can utilize for all of your drum lifting, moving, and storing requirements. These attachments are specifically meant so as to handle drum containers - thus there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container when they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner could be used in order to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are accessible in three or four tine models. This attachment is fully automatic, therefore allowing the the one 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 accessory is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Though the original reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums as well. 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 blades themselves. Their objective is to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator with a clamp that fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations which occur beneath shoulder level. For operations which should take place above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted accessories. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing elaborate, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both semi-automatic and automatic versions which could be utilized in the open topped and tight head steel drum kinds. The drum tongs can even be attached in many different ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them under a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Either the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the person operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums require storage with limited area obtainable, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal alternative in drum forklift accessories. This accessory would work for both the 210 L drums along with 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using steel jaws to hold the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any space between all the drums. The typical unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, although, this accessory is available in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
