Machine Description
The Model 400A-60-114 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 60” high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum.
It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon steel drum 22.5” in diameter.
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30 Series Diameter Adaptor installed. See Diameter Adaptor
•
literature.
A 55-gallon plastic drum can be handled if the unit is equipped with an Adjustable Bracket
•
(Option HDPS) or Top Rim Clamp (Option HDRC). See plastic drum option manual.
The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. The capacity is derated to 500 Lb. for a half-full
drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced
bottom-heavy drum.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered.
The hydraulic pump is powered by a vane type air motor. The air
motor is control by a momentary air valve located on the air motor.

2. TILT function to control the degree of rotation of the drum.
To tilt the drum forward for pouring, hold the air valve handle
•
in the on position and raise the TILT handle. Release the
two valve handles when drum angle is reached.
To return the drum to vertical position, hold the air valve
•
handle in the on position and push down on the TILT
