Drum Clamps
Drum Clamp - Forklifts are meant to handle lifting, storing and moving pallets. For businesses which deal with items inside drums, you should utilize an attachment to be able to store, move and lift them. There are several drum forklift accessories that you can acquire for all your drum storing, moving and lifting requirements. These attachments are specifically used to handle drum containers - therefore there is no risk of damage to the item or drum container when they are moved, lifted or stored.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be used to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are presented in three or four tine models. This attachment is totally automatic, thus allowing 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 particular accessory is designed for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab can be mounted to the forks, with a designed purpose of dealing with metal drums that have rolling hoops. Even if the original reason for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab can help accommodate plastic drums also. Drum capacity maximum is 220 liters for plastic barrels and 210 for steel drums with rolling hoops.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is another lift truck accessory which mounts onto the forks themselves. Their purpose is to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator using a clamp that fits around 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 beneath shoulder level. For operations that must happen over shoulder level, the continuous loop chain will be utilized.
The drum tines are simple fork or carriage mounted accessories. They are utilized for unstacking and stacking 210-liter steel drums. Stacking involves nothing elaborate, merely easy horizontal positioning 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 utilized in the tight head or open topped steel drum styles. The drum forceps can be connected in several ways to the forklift. One way is to connect them beneath a fork-mounted hook. One more way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Either the automatic and semi-automatic have a drum capacity of 210 liters. With the automatic, there is no need for the operator to ever leave the seat of the lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
The Rip Grip Drum Handler is the perfect option for lift truck attachments, whenever there is a need to store drums with limited space available. This particular accessory could be utilized on both 120L and 210L drums. The Rim Grip Handler functions by utilizing metal jaws to be able to grab the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and sets it down without requiring any room between all the drums. The standard model utilized in the trade is a zinc-plated handler, though, this accessory comes accessible in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
