Drum Clamp - Forklifts are actually utilized to move, lift and store items placed on pallets. For businesses that use drums, they usually need an attachment to handle storing, lifting and moving them. There are a few various attachments which a business could utilize for all your drum lifting, moving, and storing needs. These attachments are specially meant 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 could be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are obtainable in three and four tine models. This particular attachment is totally mechanical, therefore enabling the person operating it to be able 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 accessory is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork mounted and is designed with the sole purpose of dealing with steel drums that have rolling hoops. Even though the purpose for the design was to handle 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 one more lift truck accessory that mounts onto the forks themselves. Their objective is to be able to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp that fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is intended for operations which take place beneath shoulder level. For operations that must occur above shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted accessories. They are meant for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing fancy, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both automatic and semi-automatic models which can be utilized in the tight head and open topped steel drum kinds. The drum tongs could likewise be attached in many different ways to the forklift. One method is to attach them beneath 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 need for the person operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums require storage space with limited spacing accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best alternative in drum forklift attachments. This particular accessory would work for both the 210 L drums as well as 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using metal jaws to hold the edge of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without needing any space between all of the drums. The average unit used in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this attachment is obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
