Drum and Barrel Handling with the Platform Attachment


The new platform attachment was designed in order to allow barrels or drums to be lifted and rotated without the use of a clamping mechanism.

This platform attachment allows the barrel or drum to be loaded easily and strapped to the side panel of the attachment. The design of the platform attachment keeps the drum or barrel in place during rotation.

In addition, a strong and durable strap, with a metal tightening mechanism, locks the barrel or drum into place.

The geared rotation mechanism allows for easy rotation of the barrel or drum at a steady and smooth rate.

The attachment has a safe working load (SWL) of 100kg.

The drum lifter with platform attachment is the ideal solution to increase efficiency and improve health and safety conditions.

Packline Materials Handling are able to provide bespoke lifting and handling solutions for materials handling issues involving rolls, reels and drums; by creating new concepts or tailoring existing lifting and handling equipment to meet specific requirements.

The lifter’s ‘slow start’ feature allows the operator to accurately line up the lifter and material to insert into the required loading frame.

The swivel castors allowed the lifter to be moved around in tight spaces.


Specifications:

Platform dimensions: 900 x 350 mm
Safe Working Load: 150kg
Minimum Height: 176mm
Maximum Height: 1563mm

Roll Handling with Low Profile Overhead Clamp Attachment

Ideally suited for clean room environments, the stainless steel ‘Compac’ range of roll and drum handling equipment from Packline Materials Handling is ideal for the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries.
The overhead low profile clamp attachment is designed for loading rolls of cylindrical material into, and out of, containers, boxes or shrink wrapping machine mandrels.

This roll handling solution can also be used for lifting rolls from a pallet to be lowered onto a vertical mandrel on a shrink wrapping machine. 

The clamp attachment has very low profile pads which only engage onto first 100mm of the roll, as the mandrel configuration on the shrink wrapping machine has very limited space around it.  Due to the low profile pads, this is also an ideal solution for lifting and lowering reels or other cylindrical items into boxes or containers.

The small size of the clamp attachment makes this solution suitable for use in restricted and confined spaces.

The rolls of material are handled only from the top, allowing them to be lowered securely and with no interference from the attachment clamp pads themselves.

Rolls of material up to a capacity of 100kg can be handled depending on requirements. Bespoke handling solutions are available tailored to customer needs. The length and width of the clamp attachment pads can be varied to provide the most suitable solution.
