    Pull-Chain Fork-Mount Drum Dispensers

    Style B

    Slide these dispensers onto the forks of a forklift to raise a drum, then use the hand chain to tilt and drain it from up to 10 feet away. Drums can rotate 360° in either direction. Chains or straps with ratchet-style tighteners secure the drums. Note: In half-full drums contents shift, which reduces capacity.
    Drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.
    Tilt brakes prevent the drum from tilting when not in use.
    Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums retrofit Style A dispensers to have the same capabilities as Style B dispensers. They bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom of the drum to give the dispenser enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Style B—Style B dispensers have a built-in bracket assembly that grips the drum from the top and bottom, allowing them to lift rimless fiber, plastic, or steel drums.

    Raise, transport, tilt, and drain full drums using the hook of a crane or hoist. A lock on each side of the frame keeps the drum vertical or horizontal during transport.
    Drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.
    Tilt brakes hold your drum in place if chain is released.
    Fork pockets allow these lifters to be moved with a forklift.
    Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom of the drum. They give the lifter enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.
    Note: In half-full drums contents shift, which reduces capacity.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Chain Grip—Lifters with chain have a ratchet tightener to secure the drum.
    Pad Grip—Lifters with pads have adjustment screws to secure the drum.

    Tilting Pail Lifters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Pail Lifters.
    Hook these lifters to a crane or hoist to pick up 5-gallon pails and pour out their contents. A hand wheel rotates the pail 360° in either direction, so you can easily dump adhesives, paint, or chemicals into containers without spilling or splashing. You can lock the wheel at any angle—in 45° increments—to control the flow of material. A bracket fits over the top of the pail to keep it from falling when it’s upended. These lifters also have a ratcheting strap to secure the center of the pail.
    These lifters work with straight- or tapered-wall pails. Measure diameter at the pail’s midpoint.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Style C

    A hydraulic lift raises the drum to the required height, and a manual tilt mechanism positions the drum at the proper angle for emptying. Handlers can rotate the drums 360° in either direction. A drum saddle with a chain and ratchet-style tightener secures the drum, and a floor lock keeps these handlers stationary.
    Drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.
    Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom. They give the handler enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.
    Note: In half-full drums contents shift, which reduces capacity.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Hand-Crank Tilt Mechanism—Handlers with a hand-crank tilt mechanism are best for dispensing at lower heights.
    Chain-Hand-Wheel Tilt Mechanism—Handles with a chain-hand-wheel tilt mechanism are easier to use at higher dispensing heights.
    Styles A and B—Styles A and B have a hand-operated hydraulic lift to position the drum at the required height. They require minimal assembly.
    Style C—Style C have an electric hydraulic lift that raises the drum with the push of a button and positions the drum at the required height.

    Dispenser

    Push Button Tilt

    Mechanism

    From the comfort of your forklift, just push a button to dispense heavy drums into large containers, vats, and hoppers. The battery-powered tilt offers greater precision than a manual tilt for a smoother, more controlled pour. You can rotate drums 180° in either direction. It takes about 15 seconds to fully invert them. On a single charge, you’ll be able to empty about 70 drums. These dispensers slide onto your forklift forks and secure with thumb screws. A chain with a ratchet-style tightener holds the drum in place.
    Drum adapters fit inside the saddle to hold 30-gallon drums.
    Bracket kits for fiber and plastic drums bolt onto the side of the drum saddle and clamp to the top and bottom of the drum. They give the dispenser enough stability to be used with rimless plastic and fiber drums.
    Note: Contents shift in half-full drums, which reduces capacity.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Hydraulic Drum Handlers with Chute

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Drum Lifters. Hydraulic Drum Handlers with Chute.
    With the push of a button, the electric hydraulic lift raises the drum and a chute controls the flow of the material being dispensed to prevent splashes and spills. A clamp on each side of the chute secures the drum. Handlers have a handheld pendant switch and operate only when the push-buttons are engaged. A limit switch turns off the motor when the drum reaches the maximum height. Load will not drop in the event of a power failure. Screw-down floor locks keep handlers stationary during operation.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
