Machine Description

Model 400A-96-125 Hydra-Lift Karrier will pour a drum up to 96” (244 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.

Maximum full-drum capacity is 800 Lb. (363 kg).  Capacity is derated to 

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

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