Drum Clamps - Forklifts are utilized to handle lifting, storing and moving pallets. For businesses which deal with products in drums, you should make use of an attachment to lift, store and move them. There are numerous drum forklift accessories which you could obtain for all your drum storing and moving requirements. These attachments are particularly utilized so as to handle 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 used 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 completely mechanical, therefore enabling the individual operating it 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 particular accessory is meant for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab is fork designed and mounted with the sole objective of dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Though the reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can accommodate the moving of extra large and large plastic drums. 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 attachment that mounts on to the forks 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 with 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 used for operations which occur below 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 accessories. They are designed for stacking and unstacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing fancy, merely simple horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted accessories reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs are accessible both automatic and semi-automatic units that could be utilized in the tight head and open topped metal drum styles. The drum tongs could also be connected several different ways to the forklift. One method is to attach them under a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to connect 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 person operating it to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
When drums need storage with limited spacing available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the ideal choice in drum forklift attachments. This particular attachment will work for both the two hundred ten liter drums in addition to one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing metal jaws in order to hold the rim of the drum. It picks the drum up and puts it down without needing any room between all of the drums. The standard unit in the business is a zinc-plated handler, even though, this attachment is available in stainless steel for the food and drink industry.
