Forklift Drum Tipper Attachment (ATEX)
DRU04-SS-EX
Universal Drum Band
The unit is fitted with a stainless-steel fully-adjustable drum band that can handle steel, plastic, or fiber drums from 13-58 gallons (50-220 liters). Simply adjust the variable band to the size of the drum and secure the drum with the ratchet and polyester strap. We can also fit this unit with a fixed over-center clamp band for companies only handling 55 gallon (200-220 liter) drums. All of our drum rotator models include a high-quality self-locking rotational gearbox. This makes sure that when you’re rotating drums they always remain under control and never self-rotate.
Sliding band mechanism
Unlike other units on the market that are fixed (and are therefore only suitable for 55 gallon (200 liter) drums), our unit can be adjusted to accommodate drums from 13-58 gallons (220 liters) with ease. The drum tipper frame itself utilizes a sliding mechanism - as the forks are pushed closer together along the back frame, this allows the universal band to be adjusted to suit smaller diameter drums. Given suppliers regularly change drum sizes it is important to source a versatile drum tipper rather than one limited to just one drum size.
ATEX / UKEX-certified for gas and dust zones 1, 2, 21, and 22
