Machine Description
The Model 400AM-60-124 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 55-gallon steel or fiber
drum 22” to 23.5” in diameter.
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 mecha-
nism’s capacity for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size
•
55/30M Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see
Diameter Adaptor
literature
).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(Part # 4556M-P) is
required
to handle
a plastic drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also
recommended to more securely handle a fiber drum. You can use
the Bracket Assembly with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum.
The brace at top and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping
lengthways through the drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to
39” tall.
The
•
Top Rim Clamp
(Part # 4560M-P) grips the upper rim of your
drum to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure
2.2). To handle a 55-gallon plastic drum with top rim, you
must
install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can
use the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum
with suitable top rim.
Controls
The Morse Hydra-Lift Karrier is manually propelled and steered. The drum lift
is powered by an air motor with an on/off valve. There are two functions for the
operator to control (Figure 2.3):
LIFT and Lower Function to raise and lower the drum
1.
Plug your air line into the on/off air valve.
•
Turn the motor on by holding the valve handle in the on position. The drum
•
will lift.
Release the valve handle when the drum is at the desired height.
•
To lower the drum: With the motor off, push in the LOWER handle.
•
TILT Function to control the degree of rotation of the drum.
2.
Turn the hand crank to turn the drum.
•
Before releasing your grip on the hand crank, pull out the crank stop pin
•
to block the hand crank from spinning freely.
If the drum handler is equipped with the MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is
•
no need to use the stop pin. Braking is immediate and self-actuating,
without additional steps by the operator.
Note: To add the MORStop Tilt-Brake to an existing drum handler, order part
# 3900-P for a field installation kit.
