Machine Description

The Model 400A-60-120 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 72” (183 

cm) high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal drum. It 

is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum 

22” to 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter.

The maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. (363 kg). The capacity is derated 

to 500 Lb. (227 kg) for a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt 

mechanism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
