Heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier with 3-piece drum holder

Morse Model 185G-HD heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier with 3-Piece Drum Holder allows you to lift, move and pour a drum weighing up to 1500 Lb. (680 kg), or a half-full* drum up to 800 Lb. (363 kg). Model 185G-HD is designed to handle a 55-gallon steel drum (208 liter steel drum) with 22.5" (57 cm) outside diameter between the ribs.

  • Capacity: 1500 Lb. (680 kg)
  • Handles: Ribbed 22.5" (57 cm) diameter
    55-gallon steel drum (208 liter steel drum)
  • Has 3-Piece Drum Holder

The Key Feature of Model 185G-HD is its 3-Piece Drum Holder. This 8" wide metal band is hinged in two places and has a front closure to secure the drum. It replaces the cinch chain and ratchet tightner.

To load the drum lifter, simply move the drum holder against the drum and latch the closure on the 3-piece drum holder. The drum can be held at any tilt angle. The standard drum tilt control is a chain wheel with 12' chain loop. Lift drum and rotate drum 360 degrees in either direction.

The slots in the bottom of the frame can be used as a chain lock to prevent the drum from tilting. To do so, crisscross the chain and insert one side into each slot. If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake (option # 3900i-P), braking is immediate and automatic.

Important noteIMPORTANT - It is critical to use a model with the correct drum holder to lift your drum type and dimensions.
