Drum Clamp
Drum Clamp - Forklifts are used to handle storing, lifting and moving pallets. For facilities that handle items in drums, you have to use an attachment in order to lift, store and move them. There are several drum forklift accessories which you can get for all of your drum lifting needs. These attachments are specifically meant to be able to deal with drum containers - hence there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is accessible in three and four tine models. They are utilized for the unloading and loading of drums off racks, vehicles and drum stands. This particular attachment is completely mechanical, thus enabling the the one 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 particular attachment is designed 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. Though the reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can 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 accessory which mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator with a clamp which fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is for operations which take place below shoulder level. For operations that should happen above shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork attachments. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing fancy, just 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 units that can be used in the tight head and open topped steel drum styles. The drum tongs can also be connected several various ways to the lift truck. One way is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect 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 requirement for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums require storage with inadequate area available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the perfect option in drum forklift attachments. This accessory will work for either the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by utilizing metal jaws so as to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without requiring any room between all of the drums. The average unit in the business is a zinc-plated handler, though, this particular attachment comes available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
