Drum Clamps - Forklifts are truly used to store, move and lift things placed on pallets. For facilities which utilize drums, they often require an attachment to deal with moving, storing and lifting them. There are several different attachments which a business could use for all your drum storing, lifting and moving needs. These attachments are specifically meant in order 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 could be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of racks, drum stands and vehicles. These are obtainable in three and four tine models. This attachment is fully automatic, thus enabling the individual operating it 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 intended for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of handling steel drums that have rolling hoops. Although the initial reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could 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 actually a lift truck attachment that mounts on to the forks themselves. The objective of the drum rotator is to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator using a steel clamp that fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is used for operations which happen beneath shoulder level. For operations that should take place higher than shoulder level, the continuous circle chain will be used.
Drum tines are straightforward fork mounted attachment that could be meant for unstacking or stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking requires nothing elaborate, just easy horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in semi-automatic and automatic models. They are utilized in the open topped or tight head steel drum kinds. The drum forceps can be attached in a few ways to the forklift. One method is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either the semi automatic and the automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
Whenever drums need storage with limited spacing obtainable, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best choice in drum forklift attachments. This particular 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 utilizing steel jaws in order to grab the edge of the drum. It lifts the drum and sets it down without needing any room between the drums. The typical unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, though, this particular attachment comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
