Drum Clamps - Forklifts are actually meant to move, lift and store products placed on pallets. For companies that utilize drums, they usually need an attachment to handle lifting, moving and storing them. There are a few different attachments which a business could utilize for all your drum lifting, moving, and storing needs. These attachments are specially used to deal with drum containers - thus there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container when they are moved, lifted or stored.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is obtainable in three or four tine models. They are used for the loading and unloading of drums off drum stands, racks and vehicles. This particular attachment is fully mechanical, thus 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 accessory is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole objective of handling steel drums which have rolling hoops. Though the reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can accommodate the moving 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 actually a lift truck accessory that mounts on to the blades themselves. The objective 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 that fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is utilized for operations which take place beneath shoulder level. For operations which must occur over shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork attachments. They are used for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, only easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are obtainable in automatic and semi-automatic models. They are for use in the tight head or open topped steel drum styles. The drum forceps could be attached in a few ways to the lift truck. One method is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to attach 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 one operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage with limited area available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal alternative in drum forklift attachments. This particular accessory will work for either the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by using steel jaws so as to grab the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without requiring any space between all of the drums. The typical unit used in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this attachment comes available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
