  FEATURES

Spark resistant drum carrierMorse Model 185AM-HD heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier with spark resistant parts allows you to lift, move and pour a drum weighing up to 1500 Lb., or a half-full* drum up to 800 Lb. Model 185AM-HD is designed to handle a 55-gallon steel drum with 22.5" diameter between the ribs.
  • Capacity: 1500 Lb.
  • Handles: 55-gallon steel drum
  • Spark resistant parts

The KEY ADVANTAGE of Model 185AM-HD is that it has spark resistant parts.
 
Spark resistant parts are intended to reduce the possibility of mechanical sparks as a possible source of ignition. They are not a substitute for grounding and bonding for preventing static electricity discharges.
 
Metals such as Monel are used in the drum holder bands and at the lifting eye. Stainless steel chain is used instead of carbon alloy steel chain across the front of the drum. Pull chain for the tilt-control drive has brass chain substituted for the steel chain.
 
To load the drum lifter, simply move the drum holder against the drum and cinch the chain. Lift drum and rotate drum 360 degrees in either direction. Drum can be held at any tilt angle. The standard drum tilt control is a chain wheel with 12' chain loop.
 
Important noteIMPORTANT - It is critical to use the correct holder to lift your drum type and dimensions.
