Machine Description
Model 185A-HD Heavy-Duty
Kontrol-Karrier is designed to lift, transport and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon (210 liter) steel or fiber drum
22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 1500 Lb. (680 kg). The capacity is derated to 800 Lb. (363
kg) for a half-full drum. The half-full drum rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced, bottom heavy load.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series
•
Diameter Adaptor installed (see Diameter Adaptor literature).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(part # 4556-P) is
required
to handle a plastic
drum without a top rim. It is also recommended to more securely handle a
fiber drum. You can use the Bracket Assembly with a 55-gallon (210 liter)
plastic, steel or fiber drum. The brace at top and bottom of the drum prevent
it from slipping lengthways through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31”
to 39” (79 to 99 cm) tall.
The
•
Top Rim Clamp
(part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum to
prevent it from slipping through the drum holder. To handle a 55-gallon (210
liter) plastic drum with top rim, you
must
install either the Bracket Assembly
or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon
(210 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum with suitable top rim.
Counterweight Kit # 4622-P to keep Kontrol-Karrier hanging plumb, even
•
without a drum in holder.
Part # 3900-P
•
MORStop Tilt-Brake Kit for field installation automatically
prevents unwanted drum tilting.
For self-stopping hand crank, install Hand Crank (part # 5U-P) and
•
MORStop Tilt-Brake (kit # 3900-P).
