Lifting Ring Attachment for Handling Drums or Barrels of Ingredients


The lifting ring-shaped attachment is designed to lift large vats or drums of ingredients into and out from a production line.

These large drums or vats were shaped similarly to an inverted cone. Due to the unusual size and shape of the vats a clamping mechanism for the lifting attachment would not be suitable for this specific lifting requirement.

A ring-shaped attachment with a ‘cut-out’ section with the correct angle on the circumference of the attachment was designed in order to lift the drum from beneath and grip the drum half way along the drum’s length.

A strip of natural rubber has also been added to ensure that the vat of ingredients is not damaged during the lifting or lowering manoeuvres. 

Specifications:

Safe Working Load: 60kg

Diameter of attachment at contact with Vat: 500mm
