These attachments are particularly meant to be able to deal with drum containers - hence there is no risk of damage to the product or drum container whenever they are moved, lifted or stored.
Drum Positioner And Grab
The drum positioner can be utilized in order to load and unload drums off of drum stands, vehicles and racks. These are presented in three or four tine models. This particular attachment is totally mechanical, hence enabling the person operating it to be able to operate all from the comfort of the lift truck seat. Able to move large and extra large plastic drums, steel, 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 dealing with steel drums which have rolling hoops. Even though the purpose for the design was to deal with steel drums with rolling hoops, the drum grab could accommodate the moving of large and extra 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 one more forklift accessory which mounts onto the forks themselves. Their purpose is to be able to lift the drum and turn it upside down. The drum is clasped into the drum rotator utilizing a clamp which fits around the middle of the drum. The rotation is executed by either a crank handle or a continuous loop chain.
