Drum StackeR (Counterbalance)

Product Code: DTP08-R1260

This automatic drum gripper is manufactured from stainless steel plates and machined bushes. The gripper will handle steel and plastic 26-58 gallon drums providing they weigh more than 110lbs; the drum must have some weight to force the gripper to close (won't grip empty drums). To operate you simply raises the catch up until it is level with the top rim of the drum, they then push the unit forwards so the top hook goes over the edge of the drum, the unit's black handle is then pumped to raise the gripper which simultaneously closes the jaws over the lip of the drum. The operator keeps pumping the handle until the drum is at the desired height.

This barrel and drum stacker is supplied with a chain lift system which offers up to 42” clearance beneath the drum. This amount of lift height is ideal for stacking barrels and drums vertically on top of one another. The automatic catch allows operators to stay at the rear of the unit and means there is no need to reach forward and touch the gripper

Each hydraulic pump assembly is manufactured by qualified technicians to ensure they are clean and reliable. Hydraulic circuits are flushed through to ensure no debris or dirt passes through the pump unit. During the manufacturing of the drum lifters engineers test and inspect all components to ensure they work smoothly and effectively throughout the life of the unit.
