Drum Clamp - Forklifts are really meant to move, lift and store things placed on pallets. For businesses which use drums, they usually require an attachment to be able to handle lifting, moving and storing them. There are several various attachments that a business could utilize for all of your drum moving, storing and lifting requirements. These attachments are specifically used so as to handle drum containers - thus 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 obtainable in three or four tine designs. They are used for the unloading and loading of drums off vehicles, drum stands and racks. This particular accessory is totally mechanical, thus enabling the person operating it to be able 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 accessory is intended for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of dealing with metal drums which have rolling hoops. Even if the initial reason 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 another lift truck accessory that mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to pick up the drum and turn 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 executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations that occur below shoulder level. For operations which must take place over shoulder level, the continuous circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are intended for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing elaborate, just easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in semi-automatic and automatic versions. They are for use in the tight head or open topped steel drum styles. The drum pincers can be connected in several ways to the forklift. One way is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-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 forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
Whenever drums require storage with limited spacing accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best alternative in drum forklift accessories. This particular accessory would work for both the two hundred ten liter drums in addition to one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using metal jaws in order to hold the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The standard model in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this accessory comes obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
