Drum Clamp - Forklifts are used to handle moving, lifting and storing pallets. For companies which handle items inside drums, you have to utilize an attachment in order to move, lift and store them. There are several drum forklift accessories that you can obtain for all of your drum storing and moving needs. These attachments are specifically designed so as to handle drum containers - therefore there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container when they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be used in order to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are presented in three and four tine models. This particular accessory is completely mechanical, thus allowing the operator 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 attachment is utilized for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole objective of handling steel drums which have rolling hoops. Although the purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could accommodate the transporting of extra large and large plastic drums. 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 attachment that mounts on to the blades 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 performed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is used for operations which occur below shoulder level. For operations which should happen above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are meant for unstacking and stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, just easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are obtainable both semi-automatic and automatic versions which could be utilized in the tight head and open topped steel drum styles. The drum tongs could even be attached several various ways to the lift truck. One method is to connect them underneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to attach 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 need for the operator to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage space with limited spacing available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best alternative 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 works by utilizing metal jaws to be able to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and puts it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The average model in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, though, this particular accessory comes obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
