Drum Clamps
Drum Clamp - Forklifts are really meant to lift, move and store items placed on pallets. For facilities that make use of drums, they often need an attachment so as to deal with lifting, moving and storing them. There are some various attachments which a company could use for all your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are particularly designed 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 can be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of vehicles, racks, and drum stands. These are obtainable in three or four tine models. This particular attachment is fully automatic, hence allowing the operator to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This attachment is used for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork mounted and is designed with the sole purpose of dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Although the purpose for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could accommodate the moving of extra large and large plastic drums. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is one more forklift attachment which mounts onto the forks themselves. Their purpose is to be able to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clamped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp which fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is for operations that occur beneath shoulder level. For operations that must take place above shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are utilized for unstacking and stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing intricate, just easy horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in both semi-automatic and automatic units which could be used in the tight head and open topped steel drum kinds. The drum tongs can also be connected in many different ways to the forklift. One way is to connect them underneath a fork-mounted hook. One more 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 operator to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage space with limited area obtainable, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the perfect choice in drum forklift accessories. This particular attachment would work for both the 210 L drums as well as 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by using steel jaws to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The standard unit utilized in the industry is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this particular accessory is available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
