Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly designed to move, lift and store items placed on pallets. For facilities which utilize drums, they often require an attachment to be able to deal with lifting, moving and storing them. There are several various attachments that a business could use for all of your drum moving, storing and lifting requirements. These attachments are particularly utilized to handle drum containers - hence there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container when they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of vehicles, racks, and drum stands. These are presented in three or four tine models. This accessory is totally mechanical, therefore enabling the individual 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 meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with steel drums that have rolling hoops. Although the initial reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums also. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is a forklift accessory which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator with 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 for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations which must happen above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork attachments. They are meant for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, just simple horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories decrease the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in semi-automatic and automatic versions. They are used in the tight head or open topped steel drum kinds. The drum forceps can be connected in several ways to the forklift. One method is to attach them under a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage 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
When drums need storage with inadequate spacing accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal option in drum forklift attachments. This particular attachment would work for both the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing metal jaws to be able to hold the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any space between the drums. The average model utilized in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, though, this particular attachment is obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
