Drum Clamps - Forklifts are really designed to store, move and lift things placed on pallets. For companies that utilize drums, they often need an attachment so as to deal with storing, lifting and moving them. There are several different attachments which a business can utilize for all your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are particularly meant 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 is obtainable in three and four tine designs. They are used for the loading and unloading of drums off racks, vehicles and drum stands. This particular accessory is completely mechanical, therefore enabling the individual operating it 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 attachment is intended for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling metal drums that have rolling hoops. Although the original reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums too. 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 forklift accessory that mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator using a clamp which fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is performed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations which happen below shoulder level. For operations that must happen over shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are used for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, only easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements decrease the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in semi-automatic and automatic units. They are used in the open topped or tight head steel drum styles. The drum tongs can be attached in several ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to connect them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums require storage space with inadequate spacing accessible, 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 metal jaws to be able to grab the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without requiring any room between the drums. The standard unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this particular accessory comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
