Drum Clamps - Forklifts are really meant to store, move and lift things placed on pallets. For businesses which use drums, they often need an attachment to deal with moving, storing and lifting them. There are several various attachments that a company could use for all of your drum lifting, moving, and storing needs. These attachments are specifically utilized so as to deal with drum containers - hence there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container when they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is obtainable in three and four tine models. They are utilized for the unloading and loading of drums off racks, vehicles and drum stands. This accessory is totally automatic, therefore allowing the operator 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 accessory is utilized for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling metal drums which have rolling hoops. Though the initial purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums too. 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 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 which fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is meant for operations that happen beneath shoulder level. For operations which must happen higher than shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are used for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, only easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in semi-automatic and automatic versions. They are utilized in the tight head or open topped steel drum kinds. The drum forceps could be attached in several ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the person operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
