Drum Clamps - Forklifts are actually meant to store, move and lift products placed on pallets. For facilities that make use of drums, they normally need an attachment so as to handle moving, storing and lifting them. There are some different attachments that a company can use for all your drum lifting, moving, and storing requirements. These attachments are specifically designed so as to deal with drum containers - thus there is no chance of damage to the item or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
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 accessible in three and four tine models. This particular accessory is totally automatic, thus enabling 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 accessory is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of handling steel drums which have rolling hoops. Although the original purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums as well. 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 objective is to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clasped 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 designed for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations which must take place above shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are used for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, only simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories lessen the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are available both semi-automatic and automatic models that can be used in the tight head and open topped metal drum styles. The drum tongs can also be connected several various ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them underneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the one operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the ideal alternative for lift truck accessories, when there is a need to stockpile drums with limited area accessible. This attachment can be used on either one hundred twenty liter and two hundred ten litter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by utilizing metal jaws to hold the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and puts it down without needing any space between all the drums. The typical unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this particular attachment is accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
