Drum Clamps - Forklifts are truly utilized to store, move and lift things placed on pallets. For businesses which make use of drums, they normally require an attachment so as to handle storing, lifting and moving them. There are a few different attachments which a business can utilize for all your drum moving, storing and lifting needs. These attachments are specifically designed so as 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 is accessible in three or four tine models. They are operational for the unloading and loading of drums off racks, vehicles and drum stands. This particular attachment is totally mechanical, therefore enabling the the one operating it 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 particular accessory is utilized for drum pyramid stacking.
The drum grab could be mounted to the forks, with a designed objective of dealing with metal drums that have rolling hoops. Though the initial reason for the design was to handle steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could help accommodate plastic drums also. Drum capacity maximum is 210 liters for steel drums with rolling hoops and 220 liters for plastic drums.
The Rotator
The drum rotator is another forklift attachment which mounts onto the blades themselves. Their objective is to pick up the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator with a clamp which fits around the center of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a continuous loop chain or a crank handle. The crank handle is intended for operations which take place beneath shoulder level. For operations that must happen above shoulder level, the continual circle chain will be used.
The drum tines are carriage mounted or simple fork accessories. They are intended for unstacking and stacking 210-liter metal drums. Stacking involves nothing intricate, only simple horizontal positioning of the drums. The carriage-mounted enhancements reduce the load center of the drums.
Automatic Tongs
Drum tongs come in both automatic and semi-automatic models that could be utilized in the tight head and open topped metal drum kinds. The drum tongs can even be connected several different ways to the forklift. One method is to attach them underneath a fork-mounted hook. Another way is to attach them to a fork-mounted jib or a carriage mounted jib. Both 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 lift truck.
Rim Grip Handler
Whenever drums require storage space with inadequate spacing available, the Rim Grip Drum Handler is the best option in drum forklift attachments. This particular accessory would work for either the two hundred ten liter drums in addition to one hundred twenty liter drums. The Rim Grip Handler works by using steel jaws so as to hold the edge of the drum. It picks the drum up and puts it down without needing any room between all the drums. The typical model utilized in the business is a zinc-plated handler, though, this attachment is available in stainless steel for the food and drink market.
