Drum Clamps - Forklifts are used to handle moving, lifting and storing pallets. For businesses that deal with products in drums, you must utilize an attachment so as to lift, store and move them. There are numerous drum forklift accessories which you can acquire for all your drum lifting requirements. These attachments are specifically utilized to handle drum containers - thus there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container when they are stored, moved or lifted.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner is existing in three or four tine models. They are used for the unloading and loading of drums off vehicles, drum stands and racks. This attachment is completely automatic, thus enabling the operator to be able 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 accessory is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole objective of handling steel drums which have rolling hoops. Although the reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can accommodate the transporting of large and extra 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 lift truck accessory which mounts on to the blades themselves. The purpose of the drum rotator is to be able to lift the drum and rotate it upside down. The drum fits in to the rotator using a steel clamp which fits over the middle of the drum. The rotation is performed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain. The crank handle is designed for operations that take place below shoulder level. For operations which must occur over shoulder level, the continual loop chain will be used.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted attachments. They are intended for unstacking and stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing elaborate, only simple horizontal placement of the drums. The carriage-mounted attachments reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are available 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 connected in a few ways to the forklift. One way is to attach them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a carriage mounted jib or a fork-mounted jib. Either the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no requirement for the one operating it to ever leave the seat of the forklift.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect choice for forklift attachments, whenever there is a need to stockpile drums with limited area obtainable. This accessory could be used on either 120L and 210L drums. The Rim Grip Handler operates by utilizing steel jaws to be able to hold the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without needing any space between all of the drums. The standard model utilized in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, even if, this particular attachment comes obtainable in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
