should I be aware of?

6. What is the "half-full" capacity
rating?
The capacity of drum equipment is reduced for a partially full drum due to the unbalanced and shifting load. It is harder to tilt, and places more stress on the gearing and other components, than a solid mass of the same weight. The Half-full rating of a drum handler indicates the capacity for tilting an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum. Example: Capacity of Hydra-Lift Drum Karriers is 800 Lb. (363 kg) for a Full drum, but reduced to 500 Lb. (227 kg) for a Half-full drum. |

7. Are there forklift attachments to
handle a cardboard drum?
Yes, there are forklift attachments to handle your cardboard drums, also called fiber drums. They are made of paper in layers and may have metal rims. However, some have no metal parts. Forklift attachments to move your upright drums are our MORSpeed TM Series. They will work with fiber drums that have metal rims and their lids fastened. They have jaws to grab the metal rim. To lift and pour a drum with your forklift, the Forklift-Karriers are available. With the correct accessories installed, they handle a fiber drum. Diameter Adaptors for smaller drums are sized for common diameters made in US. There may be drums in Europe that have different diameters. |
