Crum Carrier Features

Morse Model 185A-HD heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier allows you to lift, move and pour a drum weighing up to 1500 Lb., or a half-full* drum up to 800 Lb. Model 185A-HD heavy-duty below-hook drum carrier is equipped with the MORcinch Drum Holder to handle a 55-gallon steel drum with 22" to 23.5" outside diameter between the ribs. It also accepts MORcinch Options to handle virtually any drum on the market.

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

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, braking is immediate and automatic. To have the MORStop Tilt-Brake Option installed on your new Kontrol-Karrier, order Option # 3900i-P.

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

This below-hook drum lifter complies with ANSI/ASME B30.20 standard for mechanical, below-the-hook lifting devices as it applies to the following:

  • Rated load markings and unit identification
  • Minimum design safety factor of 3, based on yield strength, for load bearing structural components
  • Welding is performed by certified welders who have passed the ANSI/AWS D14.1 welding qualification test
