Machine Description
Model 185A-HDSS 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.

Series Diameter Adapter installed (see
).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(Kit # 4556SS-P) is
required
to handle a
plastic drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also recommended
to more securely handle a fiber drum. You can use the Bracket
Assembly with a 55-gallon 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
(Kit # 4560SS-P) grips the upper rim of your
drum to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure
2.2). To handle a 55-gallon 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 plastic, steel or fiber drum with
suitable top rim.
