Drum Clamp
Drum Clamp - Forklifts are really used to lift, move and store things placed on pallets. For facilities which make use of drums, they normally require an attachment to handle lifting, moving and storing them. There are a few different attachments which a business could utilize for all your drum moving, storing and lifting requirements. These attachments are specifically meant to be able to deal with drum containers - hence there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container when they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is presented in three and four tine designs. They are utilized for the loading and unloading of drums off drum stands, racks and vehicles. This accessory is completely automatic, hence allowing the person operating it to be able 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 designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Although the original purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums as well. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is one more lift truck attachment that mounts onto the forks themselves. Their purpose is to be able to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp that 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 utilized for operations which occur below shoulder level. For operations that should happen over shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork 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 enhancements lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in both automatic and semi-automatic versions which could be used in the open topped and tight head metal drum styles. The drum tongs can also be attached several various ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them underneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to attach 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 need for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums require storage with limited spacing accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal choice in drum forklift attachments. This attachment would work for both the 210 L drums as well as 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing metal jaws to hold the edge of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without requiring any space between all of the drums. The average unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, although, this attachment is accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
