Drum Clamp - Forklifts are utilized to deal with lifting, storing and moving pallets. For companies that handle products inside drums, you will need to use an attachment to lift, store and move them. There are several drum forklift attachments that you can get for all your drum lifting requirements. These attachments are particularly utilized in order to deal with drum containers - therefore 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 could be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are existing in three and four tine models. This particular attachment is completely mechanical, hence enabling the person operating it 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 particular accessory is intended for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole purpose of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Although the purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can accommodate the transporting of extra large and large plastic drums. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is actually a forklift attachment which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator using a steel clamp that fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is performed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is meant for operations that happen below shoulder level. For operations that should take place above shoulder level, the continuous loop 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 requires nothing elaborate, just simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible in automatic and semi-automatic versions. They are for use in the open topped or tight head steel drum kinds. The drum pincers could be connected in a couple of ways to the lift truck. One way is to connect them underneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to connect them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-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 lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the optimal choice for lift truck accessories, whenever there is a need to stockpile drums with limited area available. This particular attachment can be used on both 120L and 210L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using metal jaws to grab the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and sets it down without requiring any room between the drums. The typical model utilized in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this particular accessory comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
