Drum Clamps
Drum Clamp - Forklifts are actually used to store, move and lift products placed on pallets. For facilities that use drums, they normally require an attachment so as to deal with lifting, moving and storing them. There are several different attachments that a company could use for all your drum moving, storing and lifting requirements. These attachments are specially designed to be able to handle drum containers - hence there is no chance of damage to the item or drum container when they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is presented in three and four tine designs. They are utilized for the loading and unloading of drums off vehicles, drum stands and racks. This attachment is completely automatic, therefore allowing the the one operating it 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 used for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of dealing with metal drums that have rolling hoops. Although the initial reason for the design was to handle 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 that mounts onto the blades themselves. Their purpose is to be able to lift the drum and rotate 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 performed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is meant for operations which occur below shoulder level. For operations which should happen above shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be used.
Drum tines are simple fork mounted attachment that could be designed for unstacking or stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, merely simple horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in automatic and semi-automatic units. They are for use in the tight head or open topped steel drum kinds. The drum tongs can be attached in a few ways to the forklift. One way is to attach 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 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 lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage space with inadequate spacing obtainable, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal option in drum forklift attachments. This particular attachment would work for both the two hundred ten liter drums as well as one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing steel jaws in order to grab the edge of the drum. It lifts the drum and sets it down without requiring any room between all the drums. The average unit used in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, although, this attachment is available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
