Drum Rotator with Clamping Chain and Pin Mechanism for Drum Handling

In order to lift and rotate drums of any size, a sufficient clamping mechanism is essential. The SC10 clamping mechanism incorporates a Chain and Pin mechanism in order to carry out this clamping process.

Designed for handling steel drums as standard, the arms of the SC10 clamp are manufactured to fit the diameter of the drum being lifted. The Chain and Pin mechanism is then used to hold the drum in place during lifting and rotating.

For plastic drums, which often do not have the ribs such as those found on steel drums, a safety adapter can be fitted to allow for easy lifting and rotating.

The forward tipping motion is operated using a 50:1 gearbox and a hand-wheel. This allows for a full rotation of the drum, if required.

The unit as a whole is lifted on the forks of a forklift truck and is attached using fork pockets. It is secured in place using Zinc plated ‘T’ bolts, and finished in a hard wearing blue gloss powder coat.
