Drum Clamps - Forklifts are designed to deal with storing, lifting and moving pallets. For businesses which deal with products inside drums, you must utilize an attachment to be able to lift, store and move them. There are various drum forklift accessories which you can obtain for all your drum lifting needs. These attachments are specially utilized to deal with drum containers - therefore there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container whenever they are lifted, stored or moved.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be used in order to load and unload drums off of vehicles, racks, and drum stands. These are obtainable in three or four tine models. This particular accessory is totally automatic, hence enabling the operator to operate all from the comfort of the forklift seat. Able to move steel, large and extra large plastic drums, its capacity is 210 liters. This attachment is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with metal drums which have rolling hoops. Even if the original reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums too. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is a forklift accessory which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator utilizing 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 for operations that take place beneath shoulder level. For operations that must take place higher than shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are used for stacking and unstacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking requires nothing intricate, just simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements decrease the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in both semi-automatic and automatic versions which could be utilized in the tight head and open topped metal drum kinds. The drum tongs could also be attached in many different ways to the forklift. One way is to connect them under a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Either 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 forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the ideal choice for forklift accessories, when there is a necessity to stockpile drums with inadequate space obtainable. This attachment can be utilized on both one hundred twenty liter and two hundred ten litter drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by utilizing steel jaws to be able to hold the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without requiring any room between the drums. The standard model used in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, though, this attachment is obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
