MORStak TM Forklift Mounted Drum Rackers

Fork truck attachments to rack drums

With the safety conscious MORStak TM Forklift Mounted Drum Rackers, you can move drums on and off racks, pallets, trucks, etc. with your forklift. Lift an upright drum and place in horizontal position. Rack rimmed 55-gallon steel or plastic drums weighing up to 800 Lb. side by side with virtually zero clearance between them. Handle your drum with a drum faucet in place (see diagram), allowing your drum rack to serve as a dispensing station.

A 2-button pendant reaches back to the forklift operator to control drum tilting. Wireless Control Option is also available. Forklift mounted drum rackers feature battery powered tilt with self contained hydraulics. They have a positive drum gripping mechanism that must be manually engaged before lifting an upright drum or tilting a drum from horizontal position. MORStak TM drum rackers will not allow you to tilt your drum without the clamp engaged.

MORStak TM forklift mounted drum rackers have self contained 12 DC powered hydraulics. The 12V deep cycle battery and charger are included. No  connection to the hydraulics or power of your forklift is required.
