Drum Clamp - Forklifts are truly meant to move, lift and store things placed on pallets. For businesses that utilize drums, they usually need an attachment in order to handle storing, lifting and moving them. There are several different attachments which a business can use for all your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are specifically meant so as to handle drum containers - hence there is no chance of damage to the item or drum container when they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner could be used in order to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are obtainable in three or four tine models. This particular attachment is completely mechanical, thus allowing the person operating it to be able to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, 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 metal drums which have rolling hoops. Although the original purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can 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 that mounts on to the forks themselves. The objective of the drum rotator is to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator with a steel clamp that fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is meant for operations that take place beneath shoulder level. For operations which must occur above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, merely easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are obtainable both automatic and semi-automatic models that can be utilized in the tight head and open topped metal drum styles. The drum tongs could likewise be attached in many various ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either 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 lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the best alternative for forklift attachments, when there is a necessity to store drums with inadequate space obtainable. This attachment could be used on either 120L and 210L drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by using steel jaws so as to grab the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without needing any space between all of the drums. The standard model used in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this particular accessory comes obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
