Overhead Drum Rotator (Fixed Band)
Product Code: DRU02-FB
Dual purpose, this unique drum handler can be used below hook with your hoist or crane and as a forklift attachment. This model uses a stainless steel over-center clamping band. Accommodates drums from as small as 13 gallons (50 liters) up to 55 gallons (220 liters), whether steel, plastic or fiber. The rim-locking device provides a second securing method, eliminating any risk of the drum slipping while being poured or decanted.
Large lifting pin and fork pockets
With two distinct pick-up points, the Overhead Drum Rotator (Fixed Band) is a great choice if you need a versatile drum handler for pouring and decanting. The large central lifting pin has been designed for use with an overhead crane, derrick or hoist. Fork pockets are installed beneath the top beam to allow mounting onto a stacker or forklift truck.
Sliding pivot
The fast-acting over-center clamp is adjustable to allow drums from 22.8”-23.6” (580mm-600mm) in diameter to be clamped 52-58 gallon (200 to 220-liter drums). Made out of stainless steel and manufactured in the UK, the securing system is extremely durable and robust. If you handle drums of varying sizes, we also supply an Overhead Drum Rotator, which is designed with a universal band, accommodating drums from 13-58 gallons (50 liters to 220 liters).
Self-locking gearbox
A high-quality self-locking rotational gearbox ensures drums never self-rotate. Operators rotate drums by hand by turning the gearbox input handle. With an ergonomic gearbox ratio of 120:1, it is easy for any operator to decant drums in the workplace.
Rim-clamp securing system
The drum rotator comes with a rim-locking device, which attaches to the lip of the drum to add a second level of security. This allows you to safely handle a vast range of drums, some of which cannot be handled by other equipment on the market.
