Drum Clamps - Forklifts are really meant to move, lift and store products placed on pallets. For businesses which use drums, they normally require an attachment so as to handle storing, lifting and moving them. There are some various attachments that a business could use for all of your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are specifically used to be able to handle drum containers - therefore there is no chance of damage to the product or drum container whenever they are moved, lifted or stored.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be used to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are available in three or four tine models. This accessory is completely automatic, hence allowing the individual 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 accessory is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with metal drums that have rolling hoops. Though the original purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums too. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is another lift truck accessory which mounts onto the blades themselves. Their purpose is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator with a clamp that fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is performed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations which should happen over shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing elaborate, merely easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are available both semi-automatic and automatic versions which can be used in the tight head and open topped steel drum styles. The drum tongs can likewise be connected in many various ways to the forklift. One way 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 requirement for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
Whenever drums need storage with limited area accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal choice in drum forklift attachments. This accessory would work for either the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by using steel jaws so as to hold the rim of the drum. It lifts the drum and puts it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The typical model utilized in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this attachment comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
