Machine Description

The Model 400A-96SS-110 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.

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.

55/30SS Series Stainless Steel Diameter Adapters

 for drum with diameter 

smaller than 22” (56 cm).  To handle a smaller drum, insert the correct size 

Diameter Adapter into the standard drum holder.  See Diameter Adapter info at:  

https://morsedrum.com/products/diameter-adapters 

ONLY Diameter Adapters for drum with 17.5” (44.5 cm) diameter or smaller 

have integrated brackets to prevent drum slipping length-ways.

 

NOTE:

   For 30-gallon (114 Liter) PLASTIC drum, insert Diameter Adapter;  

 

AND

 install Bracket or Top Rim Clamp to prevent drum slipping.

IMPORTANT:  

To prevent 30 to 55 gallon (114 to 210 L) size plastic drum from 

slipping, you 

MUST

 install either Top Rim Clamp Kit or Bracket Assembly Kit.

 

1.  Stainless Steel Bracket Assembly Kit # 4556SS-P

You can also handle a rimmed drum with the Bracket installed.
