Safety Information

While Morse Manufacturing Co. drum handling equipment is 

engineered for safety and efficiency, a high degree of responsibility 

must be placed upon the machine operator to follow safe practices, 

based primarily on common sense, upon which true safety 

depends.

Failure to follow the safety precautions in this manual can result in 

personal injury or property damage. Observe the same precautions 

as with similar machinery where carelessness in operating or 

maintenance is hazardous to personnel. Carefully read the safety 

precautions below and throughout this manual.

Receiving Procedures

Every Morse drum handler is inspected prior to shipping. However, 

damage may be incurred during transit.

• Check for visible damage. If you choose to accept damaged 

freight, always sign noting the damage on the 

BILL OF LADING

• Document the damage and have the truck driver sign. We 

recommend keeping a digital camera at your receiving dock for 

this purpose.

• Open packages expeditiously to check the condition of the 

goods. There is only a 24 hour window to notify the carrier of any 

concealed damage.

• 

IMMEDIATELY REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPING

 Then you may contact Morse for assistance with 

your freight claim.

• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any 

damaged freight that is not signed for as damaged.

Delivery to non-business addresses without a loading dock result 

in additional freight charges. Residential delivery fees, inside 

delivery fees, re-delivery charges, and lift gate services will be 

added by the truck line, and are non-negotiable.
