Drum Clamps - Forklifts are actually meant to store, move and lift products placed on pallets. For companies that use drums, they often need an attachment to handle moving, storing and lifting them. There are several various attachments that a business could utilize for all of your drum lifting, moving, and storing requirements. These attachments are particularly used 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 is existing in three or four tine designs. They are utilized for the loading and unloading of drums off racks, vehicles and drum stands. This particular accessory is totally automatic, thus enabling the person operating it to operate all from the comfort of the forklift seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, its capacity is 210 liters. This accessory is utilized for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted 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 can accommodate the transporting 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 a forklift attachment which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to pick up the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator utilizing a steel clamp which fits over the center of the drum. The rotation is done by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is meant for operations which happen below shoulder level. For operations that must take place over shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted accessories. They are utilized for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing intricate, only simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are obtainable in semi-automatic and automatic units. They are utilized in the tight head or open topped steel drum kinds. The drum pincers can be attached in a few ways to the lift truck. One method is to connect them under a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to connect them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Both the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the individual operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage space with inadequate spacing accessible, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the perfect option in drum forklift attachments. This attachment would work for both the 210 L drums as well as 120 L drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by using steel jaws to be able to grab the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any space between the drums. The typical unit utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this particular attachment is available in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
