Many Morse drum handlers can handle several drum types and sizes when equipped with the correct adaptors and accessories.

How can I handle that drum?

Handle a smaller diameter drum

Diameter Adaptors allow you to handle a smaller diameter drum with the same Morse drum handler
  • Quickly insert and remove from the drum holder
  • Handling some fiber drums (or a straight walled steel drum) requires the Fiber Drum Strap AND correct size Diameter Adaptor
  • See model number chart for drum adapter models and specs

  Handle a Fiber Drum

 

Fiber Drum Strap - Model E14

Model E14 Fiber Drum Strap

Replace the cinch-chain on a standard drum holder with the Fiber Drum Strap to handle a fiber drum. You can leave the fiber drum strap in place to handle a steel drum with the same drum handling equipment.
 
NoteNOTE: You must use the Fiber Drum Strap with the correct size Diameter Adaptor to handle a fiber drum with 18.5" diameter and larger. Smaller Diameter Adaptors with hold-downs preclude the need for a Fiber Drum Strap.

 

Fiber Drum Strap

  • 14" x 4" rubber friction surface to grip a fiber drum or straight walled steel drum
  • Replaces cinch-chain of standard drum holders
  • Model E14SSKIT-P is available with type 304 stainless steel parts
  • The Fiber Drum Strap will withstand sustained temperatures of up to 3500F, and intermittent temperatures of up to 5000F.

  Handle a 55-Gallon Plastic Drum

 

Bracket for 55-gallon plastic drum

Two methods of handling a 55-gallon plastic drum with your Morse drum handling equipment.
  1. Bracket for drum with or without a top rim (shown left)
  2. Top Rim Clamp for rimmed drum (shown right)
