For handling of rimmed drums weighing up to 1,000 pounds, the MORSPEED 1000 by Morse Manufacturing lifts, moves and places loads from a forklift.
The attachment mounts on forks in seconds—without tools—and deploys steel jaws that grip the upper rim of the drum. The unit’s head adjusts to handle drums as short as 15 inches, allowing an operator to maneuver a variety of load sizes without leaving the fork truck.
Spark resistant and larger capacity models are also offered.
The MORSPEED 1000TM forklift attachment allows you to grab, lift, move and place a drum in minimum time without leaving your fork truck. Raise and lower the forks to grab and release the drum.
The steel jaws are contoured to securely grasp the drum’s upper rim. They are completely mechanical and automatic. They grip on the way up by engaging the lower jaw under the drum rim, and continuing to lift. They release when weight is taken off the jaws by setting the drum on the floor, pallet, etc. The forklift operator just raises and lowers the forks, and drives forward and back as necessary.
MORSPEED 1000TM drum handlers work with straight walled drums or even deformed ribs, since they do not depend on the drum ribs or friction. They do not require any modification to your truck.
