Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly meant to move, lift and store things placed on pallets. For facilities that utilize drums, they often require an attachment so as to handle moving, storing and lifting them. There are a few different attachments which a company could utilize for all of your drum storing, lifting and moving requirements. These attachments are specially utilized to be able to handle drum containers - therefore there is no chance of damage to the item or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner could be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are obtainable in three or four tine models. This attachment is completely automatic, thus allowing the person operating it to operate all from the comfort of the forklift seat. Able to move steel, large and extra large plastic drums, its capacity is 210 liters. This attachment is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling metal drums which have rolling hoops. Though the initial purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums as well. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is actually a forklift attachment that mounts on to the forks themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator with a steel clamp which fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is done by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is meant for operations that occur beneath shoulder level. For operations which should take place over shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
Drum tines are simple fork mounted accessory that could be meant for unstacking or stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing fancy, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments decrease the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in automatic and semi-automatic units. They are used in the open topped or tight head steel drum kinds. The drum forceps can be connected in a couple of ways to the lift truck. One way is to attach them beneath 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 need for the person operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage space with limited spacing available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal choice in drum forklift attachments. This accessory will work for either the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by using steel jaws so as to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and puts it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The average unit in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this particular attachment is accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
