Drum Clamp - Forklifts are meant to deal with storing, lifting and moving pallets. For businesses which handle products in drums, you must utilize an attachment to move, lift and store them. There are numerous drum forklift attachments which you can get for all of your drum storing, moving and lifting needs. These attachments are specifically designed in order to deal with drum containers - therefore there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner could be used in order to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are presented in three and four tine models. This particular attachment is completely automatic, therefore allowing the individual 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 attachment is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole objective of dealing with steel drums that have rolling hoops. Even though the purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could accommodate the moving of large and extra 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 lift truck accessory that mounts on to the forks themselves. The objective of the drum rotator is to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator with a steel clamp which 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 for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations that must occur above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are utilized for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing elaborate, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both semi-automatic and automatic models that can be used in the open topped and tight head metal drum kinds. The drum tongs can even be attached several various ways to the lift truck. One way 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. Both 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
When drums need storage with limited area obtainable, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best option in drum forklift attachments. This particular accessory will work for either the 210 L drums along with 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using metal jaws to be able to hold the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without needing any room between the drums. The typical model utilized in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, although, this attachment is obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
